Both have many products and services advertised besides horses.
How It Works
The horse exchange acts as a middle man in the transaction, and either advertises horses on consignment or through classified ads. The ad contains a photo of the horse and a description listing the sex, age, breed, height and weight of the horse, its pedigree, and the owner's asking price and contact information. When you sell a horse on consignment, you pay the exchange a percentage of the agreed upon price. Classified ads usually have a nominal cost, although some sites will advertise for free if you sigh up and become a member.
Many exchange sites offer a limited warranty for a few days until both the buyer and seller agree that they are satisfied with the transaction. Some exchanges sell horse purchase legal documents to assist in the process.
There are horse exchanges that advertise horse auctions, either on a regular basis, or just a few times a year. If you are buying a horse for the first time, an auction is not a very good idea, because you won't know if the horse is healthy or not.
There are sites that specialize in certain types of horses. Do you want to buy a race horse with a thoroughbred pedigree? Or perhaps you are looking for a horse to compete in dressage, or you want a pony for your 12-year-old. And there are exchanges that offer horses that you can rent; you pay for the board and ride the horse for a specified time at their horse farm.
Not Just Horses
There are lots of products and services that can be found on a horse exchange. Buyers can find a breeding stallion for their mare, or a horse whisperer for a sick horse. They can purchase tack, vitamin supplements, and equipment. They can search for a farrier or a vet, or a place to board their horse(s). Do you need a new horse trailer, or do you want to show off riding behind your horse in a neat carriage? You can even see ads for cats and dogs for sale.
Horse clinics, riding schools, breeding facilities, rodeos, paddock fencing, saddle racks and jumping equipment are all advertised on horse exchanges. You can find farm equipment or equitation events. There are real estate listings also: ranches and horse farms from just a few acres to hundreds of acres all over the United States. There are ads for artists who will paint a portrait of you on your horse. You can even find events listed like mounted cowboy and cowgirl shootouts, quickly becoming the rage all across the country. Whatever your need, you will definitely find it at a horse exchange.
