What we do
Find quality second-hand equestrian gear for you and your horse in a secure marketplace, connecting the equine community with preloved items and trusted sellers.
Our Story
Horsing Around was founded to address a significant gap in the equine industry—the lack of technology to solve common problems. The second-hand marketplace for equestrian equipment is a major part of the horse world, yet there is no reliable platform to facilitate these transactions. Many equestrians currently rely on Facebook Marketplace, which is unregulated and full of scams, leading to frustration and a loss of trust. Communities have even formed to warn others about scammers, creating an overall negative experience.
Additionally, attending second-hand sale events to sell gear can be time-consuming and inefficient. Some equestrians don’t have enough items to make it worth the effort, leaving them without a suitable way to sell their preloved gear.
Recognising these challenges, we saw an opportunity to create a platform with a mission to:
Bring the equestrian community together to create a secure second-hand marketplace, enabling more people to enjoy equestrian sport.
We aim to empower the equestrian community by offering easy-to-use technology that makes it simple for people to buy and sell second-hand products, helping them save or earn money whilst contributing to a more sustainable planet.
We also understand that life can be busy, and even the simplest tasks can take too much time. That’s why we offer a service to sell items on your behalf, allowing you to benefit from Horsing Around without the hassle.
