Longtime owner and breeder Deanna Manfredi has been named the new president of the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association, the organization announced Wednesday. Most recently secretary of the association, she succeeds Gregory Newell who has held the role since 2019.
“I haven't been a very political person, which is why this has been a long time coming,” said Manfredi. “I don't have a political bone in my body. Unfortunately, we find ourselves now where our whole future, our whole program, the sport essentially, has become a political issue.
Owner of Ascoli Piceno Farm for the past 20 years, Manfredi has been a member of the PHBA board since 2016.
