Reach British Horse Buyers with Horsemart

List your Irish horses, ponies or youngstock on Horsemart and put your stock in front of a UK equestrian audience already searching for their next horse

Selected Irish dealers can trial Horsemart with support from the team, giving you a simple way to test UK buyer interest before committing to a paid package.

Your account is ready to use. Log in with the details emailed to you, update your business profile and start adding your first horses so British buyers can see your stock.

Built for dealers, producers, sales yards and equestrian businesses with regular horses to sell.

Why this programme?

Irish horses. British buyers. One trusted marketplace.

Irish horses have a strong reputation with British buyers, but many buyers only see the stock available on the platforms they already use. Horsemart gives Irish dealers another route into that market, helping your adverts reach people actively browsing for their next horse or pony.

Whether you sell competition horses, all-rounders, cobs, hunters, ponies or youngstock, this programme is designed to help you test Horsemart as an extra sales channel.

UK buyer interest

Why reach British buyers?

Many British buyers are willing to look beyond their local area when the right horse or pony comes up. For Irish dealers, that creates an opportunity to put quality horses in front of buyers who may already be open to travelling or arranging transport.

Good adverts make distance feel easier. Clear photos, videos and honest details help buyers decide whether it is worth making an enquiry.

Listing best practice

Make your listings work harder

British buyers are more likely to enquire when an advert gives them the details they need upfront. A clear listing can help reduce wasted enquiries and make your horses easier to trust from a distance.

Strong adverts should include:

✓

Clear age, height, type and breeding where relevant

✓

Honest temperament and suitability

✓

Good conformation photos

✓

Ridden videos where possible

✓

Location in Ireland

✓

Price clarity

✓

Vetting information

✓

Transport notes if available

✓

A clear contact route

PRO Business

After your trial

Want to keep your horses visible long term?

The trial gives you time to test Horsemart first, get your listings live and see whether the platform works for your business. If you have horses to promote regularly, PRO Business can help you keep your adverts visible and manage your presence more effectively after the trial.

PRO Business is built for equestrian sellers who want better value when listing regularly, with access to business tools, branding and lower ad costs as you add more stock. Once your listings are live, your account manager can talk through whether PRO Business is the right next step.
