Jessica Manson & Legal Star

Jessica Manson

Jessica's mum bought her a pony when she was only 18 months old ! Early passion for the young lady because from there started her love of all things equestrian. She first spent many years in a pony club, having a go at everything that they had to offer. Mounted games was a strong passion for many years where she was fortunate enough to represent Western Australia on three occasions followed by selection in the Australian Prince Phillip Mounted Games Junior team in 2007. Jess finally decided to focus on Eventing and since then has been able to produce many successful eventers.

Her partnership with Legal Star began 11 years ago when he was only 3 years old and together they have successfully competed around Australia at CCI3*. Jess and Legal Star were selected in 2010 to represent Australia in the Young Rider Trans Tasman event in Christchurch (NZ). The duo was the highest placed Australian finishing second overall finishing on their dressage score. Culminating point in her career was the win at Adelaide in the CCI4* in 2014.

Jessica's near future goal is to represent Australia at Olympic and World Championships. #GoAUS. She is also preparing several young horses that she hopes will soon join Legal Star at this level of competition.
