Purchased in 2018 as a foal from the Mount St John stud.

​

As a young horse, Manny was slow to mature into his compact frame. Rather than rushing him, he was patiently produced from the very start by Natasha Gibbons, who gave him the time he needed to develop correctly. Because of this careful approach, he didn't make his competitive debut until he was eight years old.

 

That patience paid off completely. Partnered with Natasha, Manny has proven to be a serial winner on the British Dressage circuit, capturing numerous 1st place finishes.. He consistently posts massive scores well into the 70s, including a standout 75.42% at Wellington Riding and 75.17% at Addington, easily securing multiple qualification codes along the way . Some horses bloom slowly and Manny has now blossomed into an extraordinary young dressage horse.
