First we want you to know that Manno became Ere class Champion again in august 2006.
In 2006 Manno is not been beaten. He had to beat the best horses in Holland, those who are able to participate in the highest class. Only his son Sunlight was a serious danger for Manno in the final, but Manno (V.Fabricius pref.) showed himself
outstanding and beautiful in his movement. For Manno, this is the first breeding stallion that had this championship for the 3rd time. Not one breeding stallion has ever done what Manno is able to.
Big news also is that 18 harness horses will participate in Acchen ( Germany) during the world games in august 2006.
They all are in the team driving, 4 in hand. So it also gives you the information that the Dutch Harness breeding a very interesting
breeding contains. Cross breeding all over the world with all kind off horses is done on this moment. The first breeders will notice that the characters and the movement will stay, that’s what’s the most beautiful on our Harness horse.

NEWS Driving horse
The Dutch harness horse holds a unique position in the world as a show horse but in recent years has gained immense international
popularity as a driving horse.
The success of Dutch breeding was more than evident at the World Four-in-Hand Driving Championship 2008 in Beesd, where almost one-half of the entries were KWPN-bred, and more than half of those (a total of more than
25%) were harness horses!
The Championship can easily be considered the major breakthrough event of the Dutch harness horse into the world of international driving.
The entries were impressive for both their quantity and quality, which immediately
became clear the first day in the dressage phase. Led by American Chester Weber, the dressage winner, the first five finishers were drivers whose teams included harness horses. The cones phase was won by another major proponent of Dutch harness horses, Australian
Boyd Exell.
In the final standings of the Championship, Chardon won the gold, Weber the silver, and Exell the bronze, in turn making the KWPN the most successful studbook of the Championship due in large part to its harness horses. Chardon used
three KWPN riding horses in the Championship. Weber’s carriage was headed by the Dutch harness horses Rolex W (s.Larix), Para (s.Harmonie), Boy W (s.Manno), and Jamaica (s.Cambridge Cole.
Recently, Jamaica was honored as the 2008 USEF Horse
of the Year. Exell’s team included Lordminster (s.Fabricius), Scampolo (s.Larix), and Selleen (s.Fabricius). Finishing in fourth, fifth, and sixth place respectively were Joszef Dobrovitz of Hungary, Chistoph Sandmann of Germany, and Daniel Würgler
of Switzerland. All three drivers used several harness horses in the Championship.
Chester Weber won the dressage phase and took home the silver medal
Boyd Exell won the cones phase and finished third in the overall standings
Luck was not on Koos de Ronde’s side in the marathon, but he still
contributed to his team’s gold medal.
