“JUSTIFY“

TRAINED AND SHOWN BY JOY RATKOWSKI
PURCHASED FROM THE MINN 50/50

This colt began his show career in 2024 as a rock star!

1st Showing–Proctor, MN, DFA. June 23rd – 2024.

This was the colt’s first time away from the farm. Justify was a little nervous when we got to the show, but with the help of his pasture mates, he was able to settle in like and seasoned pro. We were all amazed at this colt’s consistency, his willingness and calmness throughout the day. Justify won most of his classes this weekend.

2nd Showing–South St. Louis County Fair, July 7–2024
Justify got off the trailer ready to go and show despite to fairs’ excitement!
Great competition and a fun day, I can’t believe how nice this colt is to show. Justify went to his classes and finished at the top.

3rd Showing–Bit ‘n Spurs, Eau Claire, WI, August 24-25–2024
Justify’s first time out without his herd buddies, lots of energy and commotion, but managed to win big and have a great training weekend.

4th Showing–Sandstone, MN August 31–2024
His biggest showing yet with seasoned competition. Justify’s heart and consistency brought him a strong second place all day. So very proud of him.

UPDATE: Champ Show 2024 is in the books! Justify had a wonderful overall experience at the show. He handled the Coliseum very well. Stalled great. Didn’t mind the commotion of a big show. He is a true gem in the making! Unfortunately, with his class being held at midnight, we did not feel he was comfortable with that scenario and decided not to show him. We feel positive experiences = happy, willing horses with successful careers. We want his new owner to be able to enjoy him for many years to come!

Stay tuned to see where you can see Justify next!
