Juri Ots is a very accomplished rider and has had great success with several Akhal Teke’s at the AA circuit level. Juri’s most successful ride is with his horse of three years, Alpek. The couple is very competitive at the AA circuit over the last couple years winning prize money almost every time out and rarely without ribbons. Juri and Alpek compete in HIHS Childrens Adult Jumper Classics, NAL Children Adults Jumper Classics, M/S Children Adult Jumper Classics as well as High Training.

Alpek is a very catlike jumper, quick with his front end and will clear anything in front of him. Their jump-offs always claim to be extremely fast and often set the pace for other competitors to beat. It’s always entertaining to watch these two compete and often results in great rounds that pay off with prizes.

Aside from Alkpek, Juri shows a couple of the younger horses to get confidence at shows and to help sell for future success. Juri was paired with Argo, a 2001 Akhal Teke gelding that was quite successful on the A and B circuits as a jumper in 2006. Juri was great help in showing and riding Argo to get him sold. Argo has gone on to compete as an eventer in Minnesota.
