On September 15, 2005, the nine-year-old Friesian Otte 375, an approved FPS breeding stallion, passed awy due to an inoperable injury. He was owned by Sonja R. Zinke and Terri Matera of Cherry Valley, CA, and stood at Sunshine Horse Ranch.

Otte 375 combined excellent performance, remarkable quality and stellar character. In 2004, Otte 375 was given the title of Ride and Drive Champion in The Netherlands. In December 2002 he earned the title Grand Champion in The Netherlands' Z1 Dressage Level. His spacious trot with superior extension has enabled him to reach such high levels in Dressage.

He received the top score overall in the Central Stallion Testing in Drachten 2000 with score of 84.4, with additional remarks on his outstanding powerful movement with extraordinary air time. That is the highest score recorded at that event.

He has sired over 60% first and second premium foals, with zero percent white, and is credited with an extremely high pregnancy and birth rate in serviced mares. 2004 was his first foal crop. He is related to the famous Freisians, Hearke and Wessel.
