Q. I’ve paid for my advert, but it hasn’t gone live yet?
A: Every advert requires HorseQuest approval
Adverts must be checked and authorised by the HorseQuest team before they go live. This ensures your advert looks it’s best and also allows us to filter out any inappropriate items, thereby ensuring that we maintain the high standards for which HorseQuest is known.
Q. I’ve got more than one horse / horsebox to sell - what are my options?
A: There's a few different options depending on how many you have to sell, and the frequency at which you're selling.
Our Yard Page option is very popular if you've got multiple adverts to place. Ideal for a yard, stud or business with a higher turnover of horses or vehicles. Bespoke, flexible, unbeatable value - and you get your own branded page too! Find out more here: Equine Yard Page, Transport Yard Page.
If for example you're just placing two adverts at one time, get in touch with the team and we'll be happy to apply a 10% discount to your adverts.
Q. Can I swap / add photos to my advert?
A: Yes!
You can replace a photo at any time free of charge. You can do this via your HorseQuest account by pressing the purple 'change' icon (arrows) and selecting the new image to upload. This will then be sent to the HorseQuest team for approval before going live. You can also add extra photos to your advert at a cost of £5 each.
Q. How do I make changes to my advert or mark my advert as sold?
A: ‘My HorseQuest’
My HorseQuest is the area in which you can manage your adverts, also known as your HorseQuest account. Here you can make any changes to your advert - description, photos, contact details, price - and mark adverts as sold.

Q. What are the different advertising upgrade options?
Answer: We offer Premier & Leader Upgrades and Single or Multi-Refresh packages
If you would like to give your advert a boost, you can choose from one of our popular upgrades.
Premier – your advert appears on the front page of your chosen section (e.g. Eventers) for 7 days, and also receives a boost back to the top of the listings in all categories. This is priced at £16.00.
Leader – your advert appears in the thumbnail banners at the top of your chosen section for 7 days. This is priced at £7.50.
Refresh – your advert is boosted back to the top of the listings in all categories where it is listed. This is priced at £5.00. If you book our Refresh Bundle, your advert is automatically boosted back to the top every week for the duration of your advertising (at a reduced rate of £3.75 per refresh - £18.50 for the bundle.)
You can book an upgrade for your advert via ‘My HorseQuest’ or simply get in touch with the team quoting your advert reference.
Q. How do I find the horses and ponies for sale?
Answer: You’re in the right place!
You can use the main purple navigation menu to select the section you would like to browse e.g. Horses. Click on any of the options and the drop down menu will appear and you will be able to select a category e.g. Allrounders. This will take you to an introduction page which typically contains up to 10 premier adverts, and includes a sub category navigation in the purple bar at the top of the page. You can use this sub category navigation to then browse all adverts in that section.
Should you wish to refine your criteria to narrow your search e.g. height, age, you may prefer to use our search feature here: Advanced Search
We recommend browsing the categories when you have a bit more time to spare, to ensure you don’t miss out on the perfect advert! But the search facility can be handy when you’re in a rush or want to check new listings.
You can also save these search criteria as an email alert, to have the latest adverts delivered to your inbox on a daily or weekly basis. You’ll find this feature in ‘My HorseQuest’ under ‘Email Alerts.’
