Mans is a very elegant stallion with a correct conformation. At the First Viewing for the 2023 stallion inspection, he scored an 8 for conformation. He stands out for his powerful gaits and is a stallion with a long, vertical neck and beautiful mane. His long lines, strong topline, and beautiful croup give him a lot of breed type. In addition, he has dry legs with a nice long foreleg.
At the age of three, Mans completed the Central Research, where he excels in his movements. His gait is tactful and active with plenty of space. His trot is upward with a beautiful moment of suspension, placing his front leg well forward and bringing his hind leg powerfully under. Mans has a gallop that is sprung upward with good balance.
Under the saddle, he shows great enthusiasm and is easy to work with. As a harness horse, Mans demonstrates his versatility. In front of the carriage, he has a lot of front and an upward posture. His front leg is set wide and he brings his hind leg powerfully under. Mans has a lot of stature and self-carriage in the harness trot and shows an excellent willingness to move. He gives the driver a good feeling and is easy to handle.
He comes from the first generation of Teun 505. His dam is the Star Preferente Femcke van de Gonda. Femcke won a first prize as a three-year-old and is a daughter of Norbert 444. This 14-year-old mare still has a lot of youthfulness and breed charisma. Mans' grandmother, the Star Preferente Nienke van de Gonda, is a daughter of Beart 411 and, at the age of 19, still shows remarkable vitality and endurance. In the sire line, we also find the well-known Kroonjuweel Sanne K Ster Preferent, who has produced no fewer than 10 star offspring. This strong line comes from the Karnebeek family and is known for its success.
Mans is suitable for mares whose conformation and gaits could be improved.
