Dr. Thomas Nissen of the Holsteiner Verband described Cotopaxi as follows: "An expressive stallion, Cotopaxi presented himself in Neumunster as a compact power package. His energetic presentation quickened the pulse of the viewers. His action, with an excellent walk, predestines him for jumping where he received high test scores and performed with an almost optimal amount of carefulness, technique and potential."
