I bought one as a broodmare that we couldn't get in foal, so we decided to ride her. She was off the track, big and powerful, and had a pretty good head on her. We rode her out taking care of pasture cattle, my husband doctored some cattle on her, and we put her on the pattern. She had to be retired before we could finish her, but she had the makings of a nice barrel horse. I know of another ODD gelding that was a 1D/top college rodeo barrel horse. I liked that my mare was put together right, with lots of substance, good bone, and nice big feet.
