He got off to an early start in his illustrious career. As a 3 year old, Manno was the Champion Stallion in Den Bosch, and the Harness Type Champion in Ermelo scoring a 9.5. He went on to be the winner of the U.T.V. Novices, dual winner of the “Best of the Best”, and was the three time winner of the Oregon Trophy and Class of Honour Champion.

Manno’s owner, Mieke van Maart wrote to the owners of Manno’s son, Durino in 2006, “First we want you to know that Manno became the Breeding Stallion class Champion again at the 2006 KWPN National Harness Horse Days Championship. He was up against the best horses in Holland competing at the highest level, and he remained undefeated. Only his son Sunlight was a serious danger for Manno in the finals, but Manno (V.Fabricius pref.) was outstanding and beautiful in his movement. Manno is the first breeding stallion who has won this championship 3 times. Not one breeding stallion has ever accomplished what Manno has.”

Mieke continued, “Manno is also the multi champion Harness Horse sire of the Netherlands. Many of his offspring are already making good progress in sport and the shows in hand for mares. In 2002, Manno was the sire for the second year of the Harness Horse Foal Champion. He was also the sire of the 3 year old Mare Champion, and in a class for young harness horses, the first, second, and fourth placed horses were sired by Manno.
 
Manno’s character is sublime, and he is a hard worker. He is always happy and well behaved. He also passes that on to his children.”  In the Netherlands, Manno has sired the approved sons, Ranno, Talos, Templar, Uromast, Unique, Ulandro, Vaandrager, Victory, and Vulcano.
