This is a very sad sale as Monete is an absolute sweetheart, but finally, the time has come to give my mother a ‘human’ grandchild, and I worry I will not have the time or energy to give this mare the attention she deserves.
Monete loves her job and needs someone who can continue her education. She is a 16.1h TB ex-racer, RoR-eligible, rising 9. Retired sound from a short racing career.
Sire: Jukebox Jury
Dam: Mayumi
Monete has racing royalty in her blood, including Sadler's Wells, Northern Dancer and Rock Of Gibraltar.
She is one of the sweetest mares you will ever meet, and she loves nothing more than a cuddle, groom and chin scratch. She has such a nice nature that even my non-horsey husband likes to fuss her with no fear, she is just a big Labrador.
Clean limbs, no lumps or bumps. Open to vetting.
She is good to be clipped, shoed and loaded into a horse trailer and box.
Up to date with teeth, shoes, saddle, physio and vax.
I bought Monete from the field and have slowly brought her back into work this past year. She is a very willing horse, eager to please. She has come so far already, but still needs someone who is experienced and confident to carry on her education.
She has three wonderful paces, and has attended various dressage lessons, pole clinics and horse agility training (Kelly Marks' intelligent horsemanship). She feels very comfortable in the arena and is going very nicely. I was planning on starting to compete dressage with her.
As I have been building her up slowly, I did not want to overface her with jumping just yet, but the few lessons we have had have shown she has scope and really enjoys it.
Happy to hack out in front or behind. Confident and bold type when in company, she will take anything in her stride and confidently walk up to and past heavy machinery when others are less confident. She can throw an excited buck.
She is still green when hacking out alone, so she needs a confident, calm and knowledgeable rider who understands TB’s, as she can be anxious and sharp.
I have found that she responds well to regular, consistent work.
Monete has excellent ground manners, but she can be sharp when spooked, the typical TB behaviour. Therefore, she is not a novice ride or suitable for an inexperienced/ young teenager.
Happy living in or out. Happy to share a field or be alone.
4000k with saddle, but a good home is more important.
