David “RJ” Justice was awarded the Weldon and Nancy Stockwell Scholarship to attend Troy Price Horseshoeing School in Uniondale, Indiana to achieve his goal of becoming a Journeyman Farrier. The committee was impressed with David’s drive to become a farrier for our harness racing community.
David is a member of the Union Baptist Church in Richwood, Ohio who is proud to be a good Christian. He has volunteered many hours in his community and through FAA (which used to be called Future Farmers of America). He is the recipient of the prestigious Star Greenhand Award which is presented every year to the chapter’s most active first-year member who has plans for a strong supervised agricultural experience program and has demonstrated leadership within the FFA. He also earned an FAA State Degree proving he is one of the top members in Ohio FAA.
CHHA member, Daniel Coate, provided a strong recommendation for David. However, he did merrily tell Chaplain Lee that he would have to “fold up pretty good to get under a baby trotter to get those shoes on a short horse since he is quite tall.” Daniel was sure he would do just fine and so is CHHA.
