Manaia Farm Sporthorses

At M-FED we don’t bred our horses we select the best horses that others have bred. By doing this we can ensure we only have the very best horses available in our programme.

We only select only a small percentage of the horses we view. Only horses that have graduated from our programme carry the M-FED before their name.


We only select horses with:

Outstanding temperaments
Good confirmation
Sound
Vice free

We stand by the horses we sell and offer a 14-day warranty on our M-FED horses – please see our sales contract for details.

Once they have been selected they enter a vigorous training programme where we assess all horses for the following:

Jumping: free jumping and jumping with a ride
this process allows for the evaluate of reflexes, form, carefulness, and scope.

Flat work: on the lunge and with a rider - walk, trot, canter
the horses is evaluated specifically for carriage, stride length, rhythm and regularity, balance in turns.


Each horse is then provided with a suitable training programme and is directed to a career that best suits their nature strengthens.
