Joe is a OTTB that I received this Spring. I have been riding him and introducing him to new things other than the race track. He does great out doing cross country fences. He has done some small ( like 2 foot ) courses. He is very balanced and uses his hind and back. He is still a bit green so he will need a rider that can show him the way ( he is very eager to please ). He has too much action for hunters so I think he would be best suited for eventing or dressage.
