He arrived in Italy in April 2000. It did not take long before he grew accustomed to his new environment and you could immediately tell that he was eager to display himself, to put on a show for those who watched him. You cannot be but spellbound when you seem him fly in the ring, snorting with his arrogant attitude. As soon as he gets close to you, he wants to be cuddled, always expressing his playfulness by nibbling your trousers or the tip of your shoe.
He is able to pass all these qualities to his sons and daughters, who all share a lot of charisma ,great presence and tenderness in the way they have related to people ever since they were young. As soon as he arrived in Europe he started his career: he seemed to like traveling, seeing new places and giving all of himself at shows. He won several titles as a colt and as a stallion: Italian National Reserve Champion, European Reserve Champion, Champion at Towerlands ( England), Top Five at the All Nations Cup ( Germany), 3 times Top Ten Elite at the World Championship ( France), where he also won the trophy as best head, both as a colt and as stallion.
In 2002, in order to improve his physical condition, his owner Thierry trained him to be ridden. As he liked very much training on the long distances together with other horses, his owners decided that he had to undergo the same training given to endurance horses.
As soon as someone moved a crownpiece in the stud, WH Justice would stick his head out of the box and neigh as if to say “at last… where are we going today?”
In 2002 he also started his career as breeding stallion. The following year his first foals were born. The first-born, the very famous Panarea by Palawan (out of Palawan), was breathtaking. Over the last few years she has won lots of show titles (Champion at Towerlands, at the Lowland Cup, in Dubai, at the European Championship and this year she was named Reserve World Champion Junior Filly in Paris. Next was Ajman Moniscione (out of Anthea Moniscione) with her almost perfect head. The following year other colts and fillies were born, all of whom had the same traits as their sire. Bess Fa’izah (out of Sharon el Khendal) was born in the Netherlands in 2004. She started to take part in shows the following year and the results are evidence of her great beauty: Reserve World Champion, Reserve Champion in Menton, Borgloon and Dubai ; Champion in Aachen (All Nations Cup), Sharjah, Menton, Towerlands, Borgloon, Vilhelmsborg and winner of the ECAHO Cup in 2005.
We cannot list them all but you can find descendents of WH Justice in many different countries; some take part in shows, others just are the joy of their owners at home.
In 2006 his colts and fillies proved their quality by winning a large number of international as well as national titles. Sons and daughters of WH Justice were National Champions: a filly in England, a colt in France, another filly in Spain, the Reserve British National Champion went to one of his colts, foal in Switzerland etc. WH Justice has had quite a few other foals and many of these, we are sure, will be seen take part in shows! In 2007 we will be able to see also some of his grandchildren… he has been a sire for just a few years, he will soon be a grandsire but he is already famous all over the world, as a horse as well as a breeding stallion. And it will not be by chance that we will find this name on many pedigrees…WH Justice.
