Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our exclusive memberships
What benefits do membership plans include?
Our prestigious membership plans include featured advertisements with priority placement, strategic social media promotions across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X (Twitter), comprehensive advanced analytics with buyer insights, and dedicated priority support from our expert team. What really sets our memberships apart is the distinctive visual styling—your advertisements and profile receive a premium design that reflects your plan's prestige level, naturally drawing more attention from serious buyers. This elevated presentation acts as a prestigious business card for both your horses and your business, helping you stand out in a crowded marketplace. Higher tiers benefit from geographically targeted advertising campaigns and exclusive inclusion in our curated monthly newsletters reaching discerning equestrian enthusiasts throughout Europe.
Can I place a free advertisement without a membership?
Yes! You can place your first advertisement completely free for one month with no membership required. Simply visit our sell page, create your listing, and it will be live for 30 days at no cost. This is perfect if you're testing the platform or only need to sell a single horse. You can upgrade to a membership anytime for additional benefits.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my membership?
Absolutely, you have complete flexibility to adjust your membership at any time. If you choose to upgrade, the new benefits activate immediately, and we'll calculate the additional cost based on the remaining days in your current billing cycle—you only pay for what you use. When downgrading, your current plan remains fully active until the end of your billing cycle, ensuring you get the complete value you've paid for. The downgraded plan and its corresponding pricing take effect from the start of your next cycle. This approach ensures fair billing while giving you seamless control over your membership journey.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards including Visa and Mastercard, as well as iDEAL and direct debit (SEPA) for your convenience. All transactions are processed securely by our trusted payment partner Mollie, ensuring your financial information remains completely protected with bank-level encryption and compliance standards. We offer flexible billing options including monthly and annual subscriptions to suit your business needs.
What happens to my listings if I cancel?
Your active listings remain fully visible and accessible to potential buyers until your current billing period concludes, ensuring you receive the complete value of your investment. After cancellation, you can continue placing advertisements by paying our per-advertisement fee, giving you the flexibility to list horses as needed without a recurring subscription. You're welcome to reactivate your premium membership at any time to regain full access to exclusive benefits and better value for regular sellers.
Do you offer refunds?
We provide a comprehensive 14-day free trial for new members, allowing you to explore all the benefits of your chosen membership without any charges. To start your trial, you'll need to authorize recurring payments through our secure payment gateway, but you won't be charged during the trial period. After the 14 days, your selected membership automatically begins, and regular billing commences. This gives you plenty of time to experience the platform risk-free and ensure it's the right fit for your business before any payment is processed.
How do social media promotions work?
We strategically promote your featured listings across our established social media channels including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X (Twitter), where we engage with a thriving community of passionate equestrian enthusiasts. Our Arion tier members benefit from geographically targeted promotions, ensuring your horses reach qualified buyers in your specific target markets. Our professional content creators craft compelling posts showcasing your horses with high-quality imagery and engaging copy designed to generate genuine buyer interest and meaningful inquiries.
What are featured advertisements?
Featured advertisements receive premium placement at the top of search results and category pages, dramatically increasing visibility with potential buyers actively searching for horses. These distinguished listings are adorned with exclusive visual badges that reflect your membership tier, appear in prominent positions on our homepage carousel, and receive priority inclusion in our monthly newsletters distributed to registered buyers throughout Europe. Featured ads consistently generate significantly more views and inquiries compared to standard listings, helping you connect with serious buyers faster and more effectively.
Is there a free trial available?
Yes! We offer an exclusive 14-day free trial for any of our subscription plans, allowing you to experience the remarkable benefits of premium membership features without any financial commitment. During your trial, you'll have full access to your chosen tier's features including advanced analytics, priority listings, and our intuitive dashboard. The trial can only be used once per user. Additionally, because we value quality and authenticity, we actively select users with exceptional horses and well-crafted advertisements to receive complimentary subscription plans as our gift.
