Located outside of Tours, France, we have horses ranging from 4 years old to 5 star level.
We are located in France, in Cléré-les-Pins, about 30 minutes from Tours and close to historic towns such as Chinon and Saumur. Our place welcomes international event riders in the best conditions, and prepares young horses to become outstanding competitors!
Otis Eventing is the place to maximize your chances of becoming a top-level competition rider!
We both moved to the UK to pursue our riding careers, originally riding for some of the top event riders in the world including Andrew Nicholson, William Fox-Pitt, and Mark Todd.
After marrying in 2012, we joined forces to run our international eventing yard, Otis Eventing.
Since running the yard together, we have seen success from the lower levels up to 5 star. These include placings at some of the most prestigious events in the world including the World Championships for young horses at Le Lion D’Angers up to Burghley 5 star.
After 15 years in England working with some amazing trainers, owners, and sponsors, we decided to relocate to France in 2023.
If you would like to get involved with our team as an owner, sponsor, or client, we would love to hear from you! We run a friendly yard with excellent facilities and supported by dedicated staff.
From first meeting to lifelong partnership—see why our clients choose us to guide them in their equestrian journey.
