Abdalians Alumni Home

A little boy, looking like a professional jockey dressed in a maroon jacket and riding hat stole the equestrian show at the Parent's Day held at Cadet College Hasanabdal on 2nd december, 2008. This little boy was Master Ali Abbass Manzoor, a student of class 5 at Beaconhouse School in Wah Cantt. Ali who is only nine years old, is Dr. Faisal Manzoor's son and put up a spectacular show along with the cadets in the equestrian show in the Oval.

Ali Abbass started riding when he was only seven years old. For about six months he had been practicing with the College Riding Club. It was then, that the Principal spotted him and invited young Ali to perform alongside the College Riding Squad as a special guest. It was indeed an honour for Ali, being a son of an Abdalian and whos eight other uncles also happen to be Abdalians, to be able to perform on the Parent's Day. While Dr. Faisal Manzoor, his wife and his brothers watched Ali perform with a lot of pride, the whole audience present their showed their admiration for this little boy as he raced and made his horse jump all the hurdles with extreme ease, as if it was really a child's play.
