Manrico

Manrico placed 1st in the USDF All Breed Awards for Colts & Geldings in 2003. You have to see him to believe just how amazing he can move. His proud head carriage and bearing make this colt a real stunner. Manrico possesses an arrogance and intelligence that captivates. His exotic look and long thick hair make him a natural for those wanting a flashy exhibition or performance horse. He has talent enough for upper level dressage work and the drive to take him there.

Not bad for a weanling to pin 4th, besting all mature horses! That's Momma's boy for you! Manrico especially enjoyed coming back for the Parade of Breeds since his momma won the class he got to back in the ring under lights and strut right behind her during the ceremony with his chin in the air. "That will be me, one day" I could just about hear him say.
