UK Horse Share Website

Listing Details

In the equestrian world, sharing is a practice where horse owners lend out their horses for riders to ride and help look after them. Owning a horse is expensive, with a 24/7, 365 days a year commitment. Horse owners often need financial and timely contributions to help take care and exercise their horses. 

Horse owners solely advertise their horses on social media, therefore to find a share horse, sharers need to scroll through endless groups and posts to find an advert, and often then find that the advert is out of date. We set out to build a website that connects horse owners and sharers in an easy way - mainly through our own experience of finding a share horse!

This project connects horse owners and riders in an easy and simple way, with messaging and advertising capability it has never been simpler to find a share horse.

The website itself is split into two accounts, owners and sharers - each pays a different one-off charge to either advertise their horse or find a horse. To advertise your horse it is £20, to find a horse it is £10. There are numerous fields to advertise your horse, and owners/sharers can communicate via a messaging capability.
