After
three weeks of
advertising my
pony she went
on trial and was
brought shortly
afterwards by a
lovely family and
has settled in well.
Brilliant!
Horsemart
Horsemart.co.uk launched in 1998 and is currently the number one equestrian
website in the UK for buying and selling horses, horseboxes, trailers, tack and
other equine goods and services, with over 5,500 live ads online.
The site pulls an impressive 110,000 unique visitors and 2.5 million page
impressions each week – figures that are continually growing.
Horsemart.co.uk remains in the top spot ahead of competitor equine sites, and is
consistently winning the Hitwise Top 10 Website award on a quarterly basis, for
the Shopping and Classifieds category.
In addition to the website we also have a hugely successful national monthly
magazine called National Horsemart.

Horsemart vs our competitiors
By advertising on Horsemart.co.uk you
can rest assured that this website is
used by more people than any other
equestrian website.
As you can see, not only is our market
share larger than the other main
equestrian websites, but our monthly
visits figure outperforms them by a
significant amount.
This means that literally thousands
more people will see your advert on
Horsemart.co.uk than if you advertise
on the other sites.
Compared to these other equestrian
websites, Horsemart.co.uk has:
95,820 more visits than
horseandhound.co.uk every month
292,109 more visits than
horsequest.co.uk every month
321,825 more visits than pcuk.org.
uk every month
453,022 more visits than
horsedeals.co.uk
And the secret behind our success?
Well there are several, but the main
one that brings people back time and
time again is our content. Horsemart.
co.uk is a marketplace for equestrian
enthusiasts, with thousands of horses,
ponies, and related products and
services advertised.
This means that people are visiting
the site specifically to browse, search
and buy. With websites such as
horseandhound.co.uk. for example, it is
more likely that they are visiting for the
editorial content – buying is not their
primary intention.
Our visitors are looking to buy and will
therefore be much more open to seeing
your advertising and marketing.
This is a huge benefit to you – you are
already preaching to the converted.

After placing
my advert on
Horsemart, I had
lots of interest and
the first person
who came to
view my horsebox
purchased it.
Horsemart is great
value for money - I
will certainly use it
again.

Because of
Horsemart, we
were able to
sell Spike easily
and able to vet
the people who
wanted to view
him. We have
brought our new
pony off Horsemart
as well, Horsemart
gave us excellent
service every time.

our figures.

When I placed
my ad with you I was
reluctant to spend
any more money on
advertising having
placed much more
expensive adverts
elsewhere without
reply. However i
am pleased to say I
would certainly use
Horsemart again. I sold
my mare to the first
viewer and following
that the response was
excellent! I received
well over 20 enquiries!
Thank you very much

National Horsemart Magazine
National Horsemart offers a different proposition to the other equestrian titles, with
a blend of both classified advertising and editorial content.
The classified advertising offers over one thousand horses and ponies for sales
across all breeds and disciplines. The wide price range makes our magazine
relevant for both readers who are new to the equestrian world and for experienced
riders who are looking for competition or performance horses.
There is also a wide array of related advertising for horseboxes, trailers, 4x4s,
pets, jobs and equestrian property. Editorial content is in the form of features, live
interviews, tried and tested and much more. Horsemart.co.uk will also hold a 10
page on-line version of each months edition as a downloadable PDF promoting
the magazine.
The editorial content has been expanded greatly over the past six months with
emphasis on Horsemart Meets, Tried & Tested, Shopsmart with Horsemart and
international rider profiles. This has now made National Horsemart a magazine
that is bought to be read as well as browsed for the classified content.

Target readership
Results from BETA’s National Equestrian Survey (2006) show that
demographically, equestrian participants are predominantly female (75%),
and aged 16-44 years (52%).
In terms of social class they are split fairly evenly across the broad groups of AB,
C1 and C2DE.
We would suggest that our target readership for National Horsemart reflects these
general trends, but doesn’t exclude those from the other groups.
