🖤 Sales Graduate Update ~ Otelo 🖤 This is what Otelo’s owner Allie had to say about her wonderful horse Otelo. “The day I met Otelo I knew he was my perfect match. His loveable personality attracts everyone around him, and his willingness and work ethic is unmatched. He is such a fast learner and has the best brain, and not to be forgotten, he is so handsome! We recently went to our first multi-day show to school and he did not put one foot wrong. We’ve been working on consistency achieving the flying changes and overall straightness which improves more and more everyday! I am looking forward to getting in the show ring this upcoming winter in Wellington, Florida. He really is the best young horse anyone could ask for!”📸 Bethany P Photography
