Justina is a striking, elegant black filly by Dante MG (Chin Chin/Glennridge) out of the imported Hanoverian mare, Neele (Neuquén XX). Her sire side has strong jumping lines (Chin Chin is one of the top jumper sires of all time) while her dam line is strong in dressage with Neele achieving very high scores at the Hanoverian approvals. Justina has a really lovely long, muscled neck with a natural arch. a good topline, with a well angled and muscled croup with correct straight legs. In movement, Justina has nice shoulder freedom, an elastic trot, and a ground covering canter. Justina is expected to mature from 16.2-17H
Justina has a sweet, curious temperament and is a delight to handle. Justina is most happy when she is getting all of the "people" attention and is in heaven when she is getting her neck scratched. It is amazing that Nina is so well mannered considering she lost her mother when she was only 18 hours old! She had such a strong will to survive that she learned to drink out of a pail in just 1 day, and has never looked back since.
Justina is a fantastic find at a reasonable cost for the rider that wants to excel either in dressage or the jumper arena.
