Hi everyone,
I am a hunter jumper trainer with a cute dressage horse for sale. I’ve posted her on equine.com but haven’t gotten alot out of it. Is there a dressage website where I could list her? Maybe something similar to Bigeq.com but for Dressage horses?
TIA!
This http://dressage.sporthorsemarket.com/ has a lot of ads from the East coast. I am in the Midwest and got nothing at all out of it but it seems to have success for others, per the reviews.
You can places ads for free on the NEDA classified, also horseclicks and equinenow. I ran ads on the paid sites (dreamhorse and equine.com) and got more responses for the same ads from horse clocks and equinenow.
Of course, it helps if your mare is priced reasonably, you have great photos, a video link and are responsive to providing information
For serious dressage shoppers I always use dressagedaily.com; pricey but gets lots of real shoppers.

Just wanting feedback from someone that has sold through here…even worth it for a horse under $20K? Seems like with their limited search options that ads can get lost. I can see this being the best place for an upper level horse, though. But maybe not a lower level horse.
I have sold my last 3 dressage horses ( in 2005 1st level horse, 2009 2nd level horse, and 2011 2nd level horse) and know many others who have too, through dressagedaily.com. These were $20-$40K priced horses. The search function isn’t great but the site does good job of sending out new horses periodically to their distribution list ,which hits lots of serious dressage people. Its just the place that most dressage riders I know look and recommend first for sale horses as the ads are good and when you post an ad the site’s admin will give you tips on photos and text for best advertisment of your horse. You do absolutely want some good photos and video. Also the new horse I just bought in late Sept, I found through dressagedaily.com, as I went to try her brother based on dressagedaily ad, but found her too at same farm and liked her better.
I bought my most recent pony off of a youtube search. The pony prior to that was on warmbloods-for-sale.com
I tend to avoid equisite and dreamhorse if I’m seriously looking, since those sellers more often than not don’t seem to know the difference between 14h and 17h.
Ads Searchable
DressageDaily ads are now searchable! Look to the upper left of this link and you will see the search option - http://www.dressagedaily.com/market/horse-market/price/30000-50000
Dressage market listings has been great for me. Generated lots of interest and reasonable pricing.

UGH! I recently sold my horse and used Dressage Daily. It was NOT WORTH IT! I sold him through dressagemarket. Now that was a good experience.
Dressage Daily would not allow me to change out pictures if I needed to. I put a link to a video in and that didn’t make it to the ad.
To the OP, I have to wonder why you don’t have an ad on your website.

Another vote for this website! Youtube also seems to have a lot of current sales videos

I had MOST of my sales leads on the horse I was selling from that site. I think they have a great product. Hopefully the slowness of the site will resolve.
