Justus T. - 2003 Friesian Gelding - $22,000
Justus
was our first Friesian colt, so he has always received a lot of attention
and handling. This, combined with the docile Friesian temperament, makes
his
personality super friendly. He is also quick to learn. The more training
he goes
through, the more apparent this is.
We wanted
to give the first fruits of our Friesian business to the Lord. So
before he was weaned we donated Justus to Son-Rays, a Christian Crisis
Pregnancy ministry. But he still lives with us, so you are welcome to
visit him here.
At 3-1/2
years old, Justus went through our ground training program (developed
mainly from the John Lyons and Jeanne Smith Ground Training and Riding
manuals).
This led to introductory dressage and trail riding training. But immediately
we
went into driving. Single on the cart was easy, then our main focus
was pairing
Justus with Micaiah. Their public debut was pulling the Victoria for
Lee and Jill's
wedding. They are a spectacular sight!
Justus'
confirmation and movement are all gorgeous Friesian. His grandfather
Bartled and father Anne are evident. He walks with a big overstep, has
a
beautiful trot, and his canter is like a rocking chair.
