Just The Best, by Best of Luck, is the result of excellent bloodlines and he passes on the best of those lines. He is a proven Hunter Champion in both the Working and Conformation divisions. He wins on the line, over fences and under saddle. Just the Best has an exceptionally kind and generous temperament and passes it on to his foals. They are calm and brave with correct conformation and great movement and jumping style. They win. He has produced winners in Hunters, Jumpers, Dressage and Eventing as well as national and zone champions in Hunter Breeding.

Just The Best spent close to three decades passing on his impressive heritage, and has retired as of 2017. Tish says, “Just The Best is happy and healthy and fully enjoying his life. As he approaches age 27, I have decided that it is time for him to retire from the breeding program. He has sired so many fabulous horses that have brought success and joy to their owners and he has given me exceptional stallion sons to continue the great legacy of Lucky Boy and Best of Luck. The Just The Best son, All The Best, has his breeding licenses and will continue the legendary line along with More Than Luck and More Like It.
