It was a pleasure to be able to travel to Ireland and view such a top quality selection of horses, all at the one unique location. Having all the horses pre-selected by the panel of fellow top level riders Niall, Polly, Sue & Bill, all of whom I have known and competed with for many years, gives me the upmost confidence in the horses they select. Then, you have the veterinary side of the sale headed by the Irish Olympic team vet Marcus Swail, who is held in the highest regard worldwide among riders and vets.
When you combine all these factors together I believe this is what really gives The Monart Sale its unique edge, it’s a fantastic concept, not to be missed and I look forward to going back. – Karen O’Connor, previous Kentucky winner, USEA Hall of Fame and US eventing icon.

I think it might be the best place to find young horses, there is certainly always a lovely selection.

Ive been coming for years to the Monart Sale and I think it’s the best place, you can find a huge selection of really, really fantastic young horses that should make super event horses.

I don’t know anywhere else you can find so many in one place.

We came home last year with two lovely three year olds that are very pleasing and doing everything they’re supposed to be doing now as four year olds.

I really happy with them.

I love working with Niall, Polly & Bill they are very straight.

Everything is what it is and the horses you see are the horses you get, and so as a result I love coming to a sale.

I chose to go through The Monart Sale because of the top professionals they have hand picking horses. I thought the auction was really fun and I was throughly impressed by the high quality of horses. I look forward to producing this special horse!

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.

2012 was my first year at the Monart Sale & I loved every minute of it from the amazing hotel which was on site to the excellent facilities to see & try horses. The selection of horses were top class & everyone involved just couldnt do enough to help you out. Will definitely be going back again this year

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

My trainer and I came to Ireland to find a safe and talented event horse for me ( an amateur rider ) — We definitely scored!!  We couldn’t be more thrilled with our 6 yr old, who now resides in Los Angeles and wonders where all the green grass has disappeared to!  I only wish I needed another horse (wait, do I?) so I could come back next year.  I felt after two days of watching my guy go in the various disciplines and with various riders, including myself,  I really knew who he was before the auction.  Niall and Polly were calm, smart, held our hands and walked us through with great grace and humor.  I’m a huge Monart Sale fan!

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.

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.
