Justice is one of the few direct sons of the great Holsteiner stallion Ramiro currently available for breeding anywhere in the world. His mother line also has superb and proven genetics for jumping. He carries the blood of

the great foundation sire Ramzes not just once, but twice, through the stallions Raimond through the sire line, and through Rigoletto in the mother line. Not only does Justice have a fantastic pedigree, he also has a proven show record, placing and winning at some of the top venues in the eastern United States.

Justice was imported from Holland in the late 1990's by Arnold Bomgaars and his daughter Kate. Also known as "Jackson", Justice

was intended to be not only a breeding stallion for their Bomgaars Farm operation, but also as a competitive mount for Kate who was moving up in the jumper ranks. Justice had his early experience in the United States with Kate's trainer Laura Kraut and with Kate herself, and earned a solid reputation among his fans, who nicknamed him "Luxury Liner" because of the great rideability he offered. As Justice was moving into the high amateur divisions, the Bomgaars were approached with an offer of purchase by amateur Venezuelan rider Alberto Carmona, who then placed the horse with Lisa Jacquin and later with Pablo Barrios of Mexico.

Over the course of his career, Justice earned over $240,000 in prize money, of which nearly $97,000 came from Grand Prix offering $25,000 or more in purses. He was a competitive horse for professionals and amateurs alike, and a consistent name on placing lists. His star was on the rise with great finishes in 2005, but fell early 2006 due to injuries and a compromised recovery.

Justice stood for breeding at the Bomgaars Farm for two years following his importation from Holland, producing several foals for the Bomgaars family including the successful hunter gelding Glory Road which was trained by Susan Baginski of St. Louis. Kate Bomgaars remarked that all of Justice's foals were easy-minded, calm and kind, and their rideability made them ideal for the amateur. Often they had very splashy markings, large blazes and lots of white on the legs. Following his departure from the Bomgaars operation, Justice was focused on his career and did not return to the breeding shed until his injury forced him into early retirement.

October Hill Farm produced several foal crops with this talented stallion and the resulting foals have been top quality, earning top three national placings in the BWP approvals rankings. The wonderful personalities are noted, along with their movement, sportiness, and type. Justice is approved for breeding with the BWP and RPSI. His best crosses have been with large mares who need improvement in type, added elegance, and a more refined head.

Ramiro Z
Sire Line - Justice is a direct son of Ramiro Z, famous worldwide as a sire of sporthorses. Ramiro was the top stallion of his time, influential not only for his offspring, but also for his success in sport. He excelled in Puissance up to 2.20m and participated in several successful Nations Cup outings. Though a Holsteiner by pedigree, Ramiro was moved to Zangersheide in 1979 and later sold to Holland. He was named "Sire of the Year" in 1992 and remains at the top of breeder indices in both jumping and dressage for many breed organizations today. In Holland, his sons Almiro, Armstrong, Bernstein, Dageraad, Damiro, Elmero and Zeoliet have all achieved fame. His daughter, the super-mare Ratina Z, is the dream of the showjumping world, winning both gold and silver at the Barcelona Olympics and the Volvo World Cup of 1993. His progeny distinguish themselves in dressage as well.

Ramzes AA
Ramiro is a son of Raimond, whose greatest son was Ramiro himself but who also produced five other approved sons. Raimond's sire, Ramzes, was a Polish Anglo-Arabian brought to Holstein as a competition horse, but was subsequently used by the Verband to put refinement on the heavy Holsteiner mares. It is safe to claim that the breed exists as it does today through the contributions of this stallion. Ramzes produced not only competition horses such as Remus, winner of individual silver and team gold at the Tokyo Olympics, and Mariano, winner of the World Dressage Championships, and the show jumper Retina, but he also has had a lasting influence in the performance horses of today. His son, Rigoletto, sold to Holland by Holstein, where he had a hugely successful career as a sire of exceptional jumping horses.

Ubiena
Dam's Line Justice's dam, Ubenia, was a prolific dam in Holland, producing a family which gave rise to such successful showjumpers as Olien (Concorde). Ubenia is sired by Joost. Joost produced many internationally successful showjumping, including the well-known stallion VIP and the top mares Esprite and Gadernmie, while such performers as Hay Guy, Osta Carpets Carrera and PS Galveston also have Joost as a sire. As a reflection of this, his showjumping BLUP is currently a very impressive 148. Ubiena's damsire is the same Rigoletto mentioned above, making Justice a double-bred Ramzes offspring, offering a unique opportunity to serious jumper breeders.

Cottage Son xx
Justice also doubles up the blood of the superior Thoroughbred stallion Cottage Son. As a broodmare sire, Cottage Son has been a sensation, siring the dams of two of the all time greats of modern jumping breeding: Lord and Ramiro. His son, Consul was the sire of the world champion dressage horse, Granat.
