HARLEY x EPILOT x NIMMERDOR x ERDBALL XX KWPN 14.01169, 1.69m, chestnut, 2014 Breeder: C.H. Dolstra, Noordwolde
Justice, the convincing 2017 performance champion, is a son of the preferent stallion Harley VDL. With foundation sires like Heartbreaker and Carthago on his sire’s side and the legendary Pilot and Nimmerdor on his dam’s side, he possesses an exceptional pedigree. This damline has produced 1.60m stars such as Gancia de Muze (Niels Bruynseels) and Wiveau M (Alain Jufer).
His dam, Noblesse Oblige (by Epilot), earned high jumping scores herself and produced the elite mare Coblesse TH (81.5 pts). His half-sister, Toblesse, is the dam of the powerful Diarindo (1.60m, Jens van Grunsven). Justice was registered with the KWPN with a top score, receiving an 8.5 or higher for all jumping components, including a 9 for attitude and a remarkable 9.5 for rideability. The KWPN praised his reflexes, athletic ability, and outstanding rideability.
In 2019, Justice highlighted his qualities by being the only stallion to remain clear in all eight rounds, winning the KWPN Stallion Competition. Justice was recently sold to America, where he will continue his sporting career.
Donthargos is increasingly making his mark as a breeding stallion. Earlier
this year, his offspring Rabenhaupt B was already crowned VSN champion,
and last week young talents by Donthargos once again stood out.
At both the CSI5* in Doha - Al Shaqab and the CSI3* in Oliva, an offspring

Ibrahim Hani Bisharat finished fifth with a 0/4 result riding Happyness
(Van Gogh x Clinton, bred by Daniëlle Linders and Marcel van Leeuwen).
