Charlie Mann

In a training career spanning 28 years Charlie has trained nearly 900 winners over jumps, including several Grade 1 winners. With two runners at the Cheltenham Festival this year – Defi Des Carres and Will Victory – we strive to remain competitive at the highest level.
Our focus is very much on quality, not quantity, and we have several horses worth watching over the coming seasons as their careers progress. It’s such a shame that this year we won’t be able to welcome many of you to Neardown Stables in person but we’ll very much look forward to hopefully seeing some familiar faces (and some new ones) at next year’s Lambourn Open Day.
