Judge Manning was born into the horse business; his father was the director of the riding program at C. W. Post College on Long Island. He cut his teeth in horse transportation in the 1960s, working for such pioneers are John J. McCabe, the Alex Nichols Agency, and Morrissey’s Horse Pullmans. He founded JMHT in 1978, starting out with just a single horse van and a desire to be the best. He remains devoted to providing the highest level of service to our customers. His duties include maintaining the highest level of compliance with Federal and State regulations and managing accounts payable. Judge also serves as the Treasurer of the National Horse Carriers Association.

Caleb has been riding since four years of age. As a Junior rider, he always rode in the van on the way to horse shows, learning the ropes of horse transportation. He joined the company part-time as a driver in 2018. After graduating from the University of Vermont with a degree in Animal and Veterinary Sciences in 2019, he came on full-time, climbing the ladder to reach the position of General Manager. His responsibilities include scheduling horses for transport, dispatching trucks, coordinating maintenance, and managing the accounts receivable.
