Maite Bonet

Welcome to my world, where a deep love for Menorca, the Menorcan horse, and our cherished traditions come to life.

My name is Maite Bonet, and I am proud to call the beautiful island of Menorca my home. Horses have always been my greatest passion. I started riding at the age of 9, and from that moment, I knew this was more than just a hobby, it was my life’s calling.

Over the years, I have dedicated myself to the equestrian world. I have trained and cared for friends’ and clients’ horses, competed in dressage with notable success, and since 2015, I have turned my passion into a professional career as a horse rider.

My journey also took me beyond Menorca. I had the privilege of working at a prestigious stable in Germany, gaining invaluable experience and meeting wonderful people. Yet, my heart always pulled me back. Menorca, with its natural beauty and the unique character of its Menorcan horses, is where I truly belong.

Today, I am fortunate to work with two of the finest studs on the island, home to some of the most exceptional and award-winning stallions and mares. This gives me firsthand access to extraordinary horses, perhaps your dream horse is among them 😉

It was at one of these studs that I met Kelly, my amazing partner in this journey. From the very beginning, it was clear we shared the same values and a profound connection to natural horsemanship. Together, we are introducing the Menorcan horse to the United States and the United Kingdom, hoping they will capture your heart just as they have captured ours.

In 2023, together with our partner in the UK, we achieved a groundbreaking milestone by breeding the first Menorcan horse officially registered in the UK. Her name, Pionera de Menorca B FSS, reflects the historic significance of her birth. She is the daughter of Xifoner TB, one of Menorca’s only three ELITE stallions, and her maternal grandsire is another ELITE stallion, Nonte. Her pedigree is a shining example of the Menorcan horse’s excellence.

Additionally, we have launched an exciting breeding program in the United States, working to expand the reach of this extraordinary breed to new hearts and homes across the globe.

Beyond the studs, I have built strong relationships with breeders and private owners across Menorca. They trust me to find the perfect new homes for their horses, a responsibility I take to heart.

If you are looking for your dream horse or want to learn more about this extraordinary breed, I am here to guide you every step of the way. Can’t visit Menorca in person? No problem! I personally photograph and test-ride the horses, sharing every detail with you. But if you can come to our enchanting island, I will gladly help you find accommodation and accompany you to meet your future companion.

To me, this is more than just a business, it’s a passion for sharing the soul of Menorca and the magic of its Menorcan horses. Let’s create a story together, one of trust, connection, and a horse that’s waiting just for you.

Warm regards,
Maite Bonet
