Everything you need
to buy or sell a horse

With a paid plan, you see the details and can act on them.
Buying a horse

A feed built from your search profile, with unlimited scrolling.
% match

Frequently asked questions
Is Astride free?
Creating an account and browsing horses is free. Buyers need a subscription to access the buyer features included in their selected plan. Sellers can upload and publish horse listings for free. During the beta, every plan is free — the prices in the app show what it will cost later.
What is the difference between Explore, Connect and Pro?
Explore is free: a personalised feed, basic search preferences, a match score with a short explanation, saved horses and horses up to €100,000. Connect adds any budget, the full match explanation, seller profiles and the possibility to get in touch and chat with sellers. Pro is Connect for people who search for several riders — up to five people with their own preferences, feed and saved horses.
Can I use Astride as both a buyer and a seller?
Yes. One account allows you to browse horses, save favourites, communicate with users and create horse listings, subject to the applicable subscription requirements. You switch between the buying and the selling view on your profile page.
How does horse matching work?
Astride compares your preferences with the information provided in horse listings and recommends horses that may suit your requirements. Horses that don't match your discipline or exceed your budget never appear in your feed.
Does it cost anything to list a horse?
No. Sellers can upload and publish horse listings for free.
Does Astride charge a commission when a horse is sold?
No. Astride does not charge commission on completed horse sales.
