Otto is a 5 yo appaloosa bought as a project for my daughter in 2024. A full up 15.3hh / small 16hh. Full pedigree available.
Bought from breeder as an unbacked 3yo, his education started at a professional breaking yard for a year where he was very slowly backed / turned away /brought back into work. Hacked daily and flourished in this routine. Brought to us in April 2026 and continued his education in full livery, incorporating schooling and other disciplines. He is green and still needs to progress but has all the ingredients to be a nice horse.
His education was interrupted when he split his nose and had to have two months out (fully recovered and no obvious scarring). He was in significant pain and remained calm and relaxed, even when the vets had to stitch him up / remove stitches with only sedation. His temperament is truly lovely and he is a real yard favourite. However, this interruption meant that his education has slowed. We have recently picked it back up with 3 x PW groundwork, TRT and light schooling.
He is very capable, we just don't have the time or capacity to continue with it due to personal circumstances. An extremely quick learner and has taken to his ground work very quickly - he really enjoys learning.
- Loads and travels well
- Attended pole clinics and rallies.
- Excellent to catch and on ground.
- Good with farrier - barefoot and his feet are great.
- Up to date on all injections etc.
- Lovely temperament and loves people.
- Full pedigree available.
We have taken it slowly as he is too good to rush however, he really deserves to be enjoyed more.
He will suit a home where he can be enjoyed and loved. I am not looking to sell him to somewhere that he will be raced into the ground, he needs a confident and experienced owner who can continue his journey.
He does have a medical condition which will be disclosed but does not effect his daily life nor his future, however, he will not pass a vetting due to it.
He is POA as home is of the utmost importance.
Full wardrobe / tack and rugs available on separate negotiation.

Based in The Chalfonts, Buckinghamshire.
