Get bidding at the 2022 Monart Sale

Aoife Clark and Monart Graduate Monbeg Ainslie - Open Novice winner at Little Downham (4)

Ireland’s only elite horse sale, run by riders, for riders, gets underway this week with 2-days of in-person viewing, followed by an online auction across the 9^th and 10^th November.  Once again, the auction is dedicated to 3-year-old potential event horses, run by 5* riders Niall Griffin (IRE), Polly Jackson (GB) and Bill Levett (AUS), and will welcome buyers from around the world.

The hybrid format, first trialled in 2021, as a result of lingering Covid restrictions, paid dividends last year with a record-breaking year for the Monart Team.  A new record average price of €15,281 was set, along with a clearance rate that exceeded 82%.

“We have an incredible field of 3-year-olds this year.  The quality of horses presented for selection improves each year.  From over 300 horses we’ve whittled it down to 118 horses going through to the auction.  One new addition buyers can expect to see for the 2022 sale is the addition of back x-rays, which we hope will give buyers even more confidence in us.” confirmed sale Director, Niall Griffin.

In a new development for 2022 this year’s sale will be presented by Sprenger, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of bits.
