Justin Nelzen Passes Away

January 13 2017

Endurance rider Justin Nelzen, 40, died January 11 in Montgomery, Texas.

He was a veteran of the Marine Corps and Navy, and was an endurance rider, trainer, and farrier.

Justin won the 1000-km Mongol Derby in 2010, and he was part of a dramatic rescue of horses stranded by floods in Texas last year.

He leaves behind two children, aged 14 and 12, and a large community of endurance friends.
