Yuri Mansur started the sport late—he was 14 years old. Despite his late start, Yuri always searched for ways to improve and dribble obstacles that life put in his path.
Yuri lived in Brazil until 2014 when he reached the top of the sport in his country. Seeking his dreams, he moved to Belgium with his wife (Louisie Weber) and son, where he started his new chapter.
After a few years, the whole family moved to the Netherlands, where he established roots and built up his sports center.
He represented his country in countless Nations Cups, winning many of them, and also in many Grand Prix in many different countries.
Vitiki is one of the most significant horses in Yuri's career for their connection and the support each one gives to the other.
In 2018, Vitiki and Yuri had a major accident[2] in the most traditional shows, CSIO Aachen,[3] breaking his featlock bone in three pieces. After two years of incredible recovery work, Vitiki was back to the spotlights.
