Very early in Joey's two-year-old year, owners Dr. Justin and Julie Voge realized just how special this horse was going to be.

 

In collaboration with long time friend and fellow trainer, Aaron Moses, it was determined the young stallion's movement, disposition, mind, and talent were worth campaigning. With wins at every major event, and an AQHA Reserve World Championship, his two-year-old campaign was beyond imagination. 

​

After much deliberation, following the unprecedented year Heart Stoppin had as a two-year-old, the team made the decision to retire him from the show pen and start his career as a sire. His first foals hit the ground January 2020 and are stamped with all the high quality attributes that set Joey apart from the rest.
