Monty

Monty, whose racing name was “Honor Mountain,” is a striking Chestnut Thoroughbred Gelding born on May 18, 2002. After racing from 2005 to 2007, he was sent to be part of an equine studies program. However, in 2010, after he was no longer needed, Monty, along with two other thoroughbreds also used in the same program, were consigned to auction, where they could have been sold for slaughter. When we were alerted about this situation, we contacted the school and purchased the three geldings privately for $300 each on the very day they were to be auctioned off. Monty is a wonderful horse whose life is as rich and meaningful as ever. He now lives out his days with a group of other thoroughbreds. The other two horses rescued that day, Tim and Denny, reside in another part of the sanctuary.

Monty is proudly sponsored by supporters from Silver Spring, Maryland and Farmingdale, New Jersey.
