Manhattan's sire, Burggraaf, is well-known for producing show jumpers and good type horses with a lot of movements. His son S'Blieft won the very difficult show jumping Grand Prix of Calgary with Lesley Burr. His son, Florijn, was 3rd in the Kür to Music at Parker and 12th at the Dressage World Cup Qualifier at Carsbad (USA) with his rider, Dennis Callin. He has also produced also talented horses, such as Burggravin, Henza, Dumbo, Hevalientje, Jumper and Graaf. Manhattan's damsire is the famous Thoroughbred, Abgar xx, who was one of the most influential Dutch sport horse producers.
The damline of Manhattan is one of the most famous within the Netherlands. This special motherline has produced the talented show jumper, Carrera (sired by Joost), which won with Jean Claude Vangeen-Berghe at the Grand Prix of Aken; also Valeur D. (by Abgar), won the Derby of Eindhoven two times with his rider Wout-Jan van der Schans; the international jumper, Bonius, with Rick Hemeryck; and the national jumper, Jogger, with Magreet Boekee. Manhattan's dam, Utopia, is an extremely nice keur mare, and a very good example of successfully crossing a Groninger mare with a TB.
Manhattan was reserve champion of his performance test in Ermelo and also reserve champion of the stallion competition in 1999. In 2001, Manhattan achieved high rankings in 1.35 meter competitions. For example: 2nd Es-Hertogenbosch, 2nd Denekamp, and many placings in the top 3 in the Twente Cup, both qualifications and the final. Manhattan was the winner of the 7-year-old Championships at Etten-Leur at 1.40 meter level and than made his international debut in Leeuwarden with a 2nd place! At the Barcelona Olympics, he finished 4th and 6th!
Due to an outstanding foal report plus excellent results in auctions, championships and keurings, Manhattan offspring are very much in demand. Manhattan's daughter, Solita, won the free jumping finals at Ermelo. His sons, Stetter and Skik, were successful in the competitions for 4-year-olds at CHIO-Geesteren and Ermelo. From Manhattan's foal crops, there are a very high percentage of colts selected for the stallion selections.
The offspring of Manhattan have very beautiful types, extremely good movement, and superb jumping abilities. Manhattan is the highest ranked M-stallion on the jumping index!
