Carat de Bremoy, considered a family horse, is a French-bred Selle Francais gelding born in 2012. He is by Quick Star out of a mare by the leading jumping sire Diamant de Semilly. He was acquired in 2017 from ‘our great friend’ Duarte Seabra who previously competed him in showjumping. Manuel contested his first FEI competition with him in 2019. He is described by Manuel as ‘not the most obvious horse for eventing but he is a very nice guy and very courageous cross country’.
