The Monart Sale - event horses

OK so I am killing time on an autumn night

The sale catalogue has pictures of all the horses in this "elite" sale. Was interested to see if there are types that people would be more likely to pick out as favourite types. At first glance I have to say some look very ordinary. If you had money burning a hole in your pocket and were heading over there to potentially buy which would make your short list?

There are also videos of each but have not looked at them. It is a great way to look at a lot of horses and compare though!

Lots 12, 18, 28 would make mine!

I like

4: Mister Higgins
9: Unnamed
15: Clare Sparta: but a Stallion
16: Colin Imp: Horrible name but I think he will grow into a nice horse
21: KWW: Not the most well known breeding but a good stamp
25: Hankalaine: I like the colour but i think this is my favourite
30: Direct Strike: A little under at the knee

I LOVE the stallion - no 15. Actually watched his video and I think he will go very far! Doubt I could ride one side of him though!

Then I think my shortlist would be
3,4,26 & 28

14 and 22 are nice mares too though I am generally a gelding person!

 

[Mince Pie]

3, 6, 12, 15, 16 (do Like M.I!), 18, 19, 21, 25, 26 (another MI horse!), 28 and 30 (anyone spot the owners name!).

Without looking at anyone elses answers I like 3,8,11,15,25,28
even though she's not conventional I like lot 24, she's small and I like small and she looks a little like a bay version of my late mare so I would like her too. The others look better though

 

[Mince Pie]

3, 6, 12, 15, 16 (do Like M.I!), 18, 19, 21, 25, 26 (another MI horse!), 28 and 30 (anyone spot the owners name!).

ETA: after watching videos, I'll have 3, 6, 16, 21 (could he get his knees any higher ) 28 and 30 thanks!

Having picked up the Gorsebridge sale catalogue at an event last week I would say there was much more of interest there the following week. Wish I could go!!! Some seriously nice eventers on offer - but haven't the money to spend anyway.

Maybe it is just the photography, but the Monart horses do look a bit ordinary in some cases. I wish them all well though as selling in this recession climate is not going to be easy!!

 

[DarkHorseB]

Well so far the joint leaders are the stallion (15) and 28 with 5 mentions followed by no 3 with 4 - so a few of us liking the same sorts!

 

[BroadfordQueen]

So, how much would you expect these horses to go for? I don't think i would mind having any of them in my stable!

 

[measles]

No 9 belongs to a friend and is very talented - def one to watch

 

[Ali16]

Without looking at anyone's answers I would have to say:

6, 11, 20, 23 and 28.

I like the look of Direct Strike, but having seen him out and about with rowner/rider don't think he's for me.

Not one for your stable then?
