In the barn / At home / Routine Care: Justice's personality is as big as he is- he is goofy, curious, loveable and even though he has the "serious tough guy" look- he's a big, snuggly mush. According to my daughter, that tiny little white dot on his nose is the kiss target (I promised her that I would mention that). Justice is easy to halter and catch, he will come to the gate or stall front, there is no need to head out after him, if he sees you- he's coming! While Justice is beyond his age to ride, in the pasture he is every bit of a comical kid. He would do best with sprightly, goofy geldings, such as himself. He is the kind that plays with toys and enjoys the company of playful herdmates that would take part in a game of halter tag with him. He uses his own time to the fullest extent frolicking with friends and sunbathing in the hay pile. He is accustomed to daily turnout, including overnights, weather permitting. He is good in the barn, he is not destructive to his box stall and is fine if you have to clean the stall around him. He is vice free aside from banging on his bucket when he sees the grain cart coming through, I mean, it's like the ice cream truck coming through, the excitement is real! Justice straight ties, cross ties, stands like a gentleman for the clippers and is easy to fly spray, bath and blanket. Justice's daily care is assisted by children on a regular basis.
