Imagine being able to source and buy your dream equine partner, fast, stress-free and with total confidence. Or, find a loving new home for your horse that you can trust – without it taking over your day job.
It might sound like a pipe dream for everyone who has struggled to buy and sell horses in the past, but it’s a reality when you buy and sell the Whickr way.
So, what makes the Whickr marketplace so uniquely effective when it comes to fuss-free buying and selling of horses?
Well, Whickr is designed to facilitate the way we like to buy and sell horses in 2023 – not 2003. This means that as well as letting you list and browse horses on a website, you can stay on top of your purchases and sales on the go with a slick, user-friendly app. Horse people are busy, so it’s designed to make life easier for everyone, buying or selling – just ask the 50,000 people who have already joined the Whickr movement.
The geolocation feature connects buyers with horses close by, wherever you are. So, whether you’re hunting from home or heading out on a horse-viewing road trip around the UK, you’ll be shown horses within your chosen distance. And there will always be horses that fit the bill, thanks to Whickr’s time-saving array of filters.

Whickr connects buyers directly with sellers, via the secure and speedy in-app messaging service. There’s no need to worry about giving out personal information, because no email addresses or phone numbers need to be shared, however these options are still available if preferred. You’ll get a handy notification when you receive a reply – and you can easily match each chat with the horse in question.
It means fast-paced communication and no time-wasting, either – no more lengthy phone calls or disjointed email chains before realising the horse isn’t for you, or the buyer isn’t quite suitable.
When it comes to advertising, with Whickr, video is king. Buying a horse is a big deal, and we all know how tricky it is to get a sense of what a horse is really like through photos alone. This is why Whickr allows sellers to upload three one-minute videos and up to five YouTube videos, as well as images. And, with the app, you can upload your content straight from your phone to your advert in just a few seconds.
How does Whickr work?
Whickr is completely free for buyers to view horses for sale on their website, or by downloading the Whickr App available on both app stores.
Adverts cost £29.99 to run for six weeks and include the following:
Five photos
Three one-minute videos
Five YouTube videos
Advert featured on both the Whickr and H&H platforms
Customer service at your fingertips
Advert shared across social channels
