Not your typical racehorse, Orpheus requires a lot of time to warm up to people and new ideas. He has always been shy and timid around new people and new surroundings, however settles into a routine once he feels familiar. Otto definitely acts more like a gelding than a stallion, since he's pretty easy going and quiet to handle. He will get along with other horses if he really has to if he doesn't know them, on the trailer but that's pretty much it. He is a good horse and enjoys the company of a human or a familiar stablemate.While not truly spooky, Otto will throw in a deke once in awhile just to spice things up! He is curious and always looking to snatch goodies out of pockets. He can be a plain old goofball with those he is most used to.
Otto was never really fond of the starting gate. He would balk and rear each time, doing anything in his power to not enter the chute. This was a known problem of his during his training. He is slowly easing out of it. Once he breaks free from the gate, he is a fluid mover and doesn't give up the top spot without a fight. He is a big, strong horse and his stride, though lanky, certainly carries him far. He doesn't ever tire and still has plenty of stored energy left in the tank after he crosses the finish line. He is a passionate runner and one of the strongest seen.
