2004, TALL 15.3H (rider in photos and videos is 5' 10") Friesian gelding. 2013 USDF All Breeds National Champion at Open Second Level with an average score of 68.55%. Rocky Mountain Dressage Society Friesian Horse of the Year with a median score of 68.8%. Ready to show Third Level now, training at Fourth. Working pirouettes, half passes, and changes. Impeccably trained to compete in open dressage. SOLID show record, beating warmbloods on a regular basis with scores in the high 60s and low 70s. Monte is absolutely stunning in the dressage court! Quote from Monte’s trainer, USDF Gold Medalist, "I've been working with Monte since he was started as a 4 year old. He has a very good ability to collect and gather up on the seat in both trot and canter--he can canter in place! His ability to move from collection to extension is far beyond his current level of showing. He works equally well in the snaffle or double and is ridden most days in the snaffle. He shows the ability to increase crossover in trot half pass as the training has progressed, he changes bend fluidly and goes right and left equally well."

Monte is one of those rare horses that will do what is requested of him depending on the skill of the rider—he instinctively takes care of his rider, whether pro or amateur. His training is VERY correct and qualifies him as a schoolmaster even at his "young" age. Ride him and you will fall in love!

Monte is fit, sound and ready for his new home--no history of surgery, ulcers, colic or lameness--passed recent pre-purchase exam/x-rays conducted by owner.

Owner has a toddler at home with no time to ride or show and is motivated to find Monte a new mommy. He is a wonderful horse that loves grooming and cookies and needs a mommy that has time to devote to this special boy!
