Milan Vanek

Rider

English, Czech

The cheeky Czech with a larger-than-life personality, Milan fell in love with horses aged 10 when he began riding in his native Czech Republic. Following this passion, he moved to Dubai in 2007 to work in the racing industry, later joining Z7 in 2015 as a rider, where he assists in the exercise and training of the horses, especially the youngsters who he has a natural affinity with. Milan travels with the team taking part in the larger performances and bringing his can-do attitude to the backstage operations. Milan is a steadfast member of the team and speaks English and Czech.
