The Monart Sale

The Monart Sale is the finest selection of Ireland's 3 to 6 year old event horses brought together on the one day at the one venue. Selected by our internationally recognised panel and sold by auction at a Gala dinner at the world renowned and award winning Monart Destination Spa. This is the only sale in the world where the horses have been selected by a panel of 4 star Event riders, Clayton Fredericks (AUS), Polly Jackson (GB), & Sue Shortt (IRL) and vetted by Olympic team vet Marcus Swail.
 
"I was delighted with the success of our sale in 2011 as I believe we managed to sell some of the best horses I have ever had the privilege of seeing into the hands of some of the best riders and producers on the circuit today and I'm thrilled with the immensely positive feed back we are receiving from our customers and vendors alike. Our customers were thrilled with the calibre of horse they acquired for what they saw as truly an honest price that gave them value for their money and where they had a feeling of complete openness and transparency." - Niall Griffin
 
"Where else can you stay in one of the worlds top destinations and view the best young horses Ireland has to offer."  - Clayton Fredericks

Testimonials

I found the facilities, the professionalism and friendliness of the staff second to none at Monart. It really added to the experience of trying horses at this magnificent venue. Where else in the world can you roll out of bed and walk 200 yards up the lane to view the best young horses Ireland has to offer. — Lucy Jackson (New Zealand Event Rider)

The facilities at Monart to view and try horses are world class. I am thrilled with all my purchases from Monart over the past couple of years but especially with last years which myself and Tanya believe to be some of the best horses we have ever bought. The whole experience was a pleasure and I am looking forward to this years sale — Mark Kyle, Irish Event Rider

Great concept, beautiful setting, opportunity to buy some class competition horses and the odd bargain too! Great fun, well organised, super to be able to watch horses through all the phases- giving purchasers the confidence to try and buy. The auction dinner had a real buzz and was really exciting. Sadly I did not stay in the hotel but I wished I had. — Owen Moore- (International Event Rider and Trainer)

Really exciting new concept for the sport of eventing with a wide variety of quality horses available under one roof. We found the hotel and trial facilities excellent, probably some of the best available. After purchasing two horses with owners that have gone on to be very successful, we shall be certain to be back again. — John Paul Sheffield (Top British Event Rider)

It was certainly a pleasure to be able to travel to Ireland and go to one centrally located venue to view such a large selection of horses for sale. The Monart Sale gave the international eventing community a full day’s pleasure watching the horses go in all three phases. Trying the horses was delightful in this beautiful facility. The dinner and sale that followed was a great evening of entertainment while maintaining the utmost professionalism for those lucky enough to watch the hammer fall their way. I look forward to coming back. Fantastic concept. Not to be missed. — Karen O’Connor U.S. Eventing legend

The hotel was perfect, the best we've stayed in & the trial facilities for the horses were brilliant. We have bought superb horses every time at Monart since it started in 2010 and we are very much looking forward to this year's sale. In our view its the one sale we will not miss!! Really looking forward to this years sale. — Tim & Antonia Brown, top event horse producers

The concept is a great idea and the facilities for trying and viewing the horses are excellent. I really enjoyed my stay in Monart it was a lot of fun. — Ann Taylor (USA Rider and Owner/operator of Aston Le Walls, UK’s leading Eventing centre)

Trying horses at Monart was an absolute pleasure. The facilities are second to none and the horses on offer were exactly the quality we were hoping to see on our first trip to Ireland. We were lucky enough to come home with several new horses from Monart, all of which have been a pleasure to work with. Ireland produces some of the greatest event horses in the world and having the opportunity to see such promising youngsters in one location was perfect. I have no doubt Monart will deliver another fantastic selection this year. — Jordan McDonald and Shandiss Wewiora Canadian Event Riders
