PRICE DROP!!! (12k down to $8500!) Need to find this guy his new home***

Joe, formally known as Zeus, is amazing! He is big and pretty, with a fantastic personality. He is so sweet, in your pocket and just wants love. He trailers like a dream, stands for the farrier (is shod but can go barefoot), he gets along with others, rides out alone or in a group, down the street, has done obstacle challenges, trail riding, drill team, ranch sorting, parade, queening etc…. Big trot, and his lope is so incredibly smooth! It’s like riding a cloud.! He tries hard and aims to please. Watch his video or come see him for yourself. He was purchased a few months back and they found he has mild kissing spine. He was thin when we got him but looks good now, no vertebrae are touching but it shows they did in the past. He has been in more work now than before and his back is better than it was. We aren’t sure if it was poor saddle fit, improper exercise or what that caused it, but he doesn’t have any problems from it, but it was seen on X-rays so we want to disclose. He has been in consistent work the last year or so, and just rode with a mounted drill team at a rodeo in June. So his work was turned up a lot the past two months!! He carries a flag, has performed in rodeos, run sponsor flags and more! Or looking for a Queens horse? He’d fit the bill. We love this guy and hope to find his forever person. He is wonderful and deserves it!.. He is not a beginner horse although I have put kids and beginners on him at home. He needs someone who is a pretty good hand to make the most of this guy. Could be an awesome barrel horse also!
Have a longer second video of obstacles and all the good stuff, pm if you want to see that one too!
