CHARLIE MANN
We are now in our 10th year at Whitcoombe House and I have to say that things are going very well.
We have just put in a superb new gallop with the help of Mountgrange and I think all the horses will benefit from
it enormously.
We have also put in a large new schooling arena to teach horses to jump and to do flat work with them.Both the arena and
the gallop were built by Equestrian Surfaces and I have to say they have done a tremendous job.
We have got some of the nicest horses that I have ever had and it should be an exciting season.
My secretary of 11 years Nicole Rossa has now qualified as an equine chiropractor and has moved on to do her own thing.
In her place we have Bridget Young and her husband Jeremy is now my head lad.
My jockey Noel Fehily has just tied the knot to Natasha Chappell, so we wish them both well.
Noels father Michael told him to get married in the morning, when Noel asked why he replied 'because if it doesn't work
out you haven't wasted a whole day'.
Lets hope we all have a good season.

William Hill Chase - Cheltenham Festival
I come from a family steeped in the tradition of National Hunt
Racing. Both of my parents successfully rode in Point to Points and my father went on to be a Trainer of some distinction.
I gained valuable experience working in the leading National Hunt yards of Captain Tim Forster and Fred Rimell before setting
up on my own. My training methods, which have produced nearly 1000 winners, unite orthodox procedures with an individual approach
that generates the best possible performances from my horses. My hallmark has been the ability to blend strict training discipline
with the patience and individual care that is given to each and every horse in the yard.
