Registration

  1. To submit adverts you must first register your email address and then login using your email address and password. To register click Register
  2. If you forget your password then click Forgot Password and you will be asked to enter your email address and a new password will be emailed to you.
  3. You can change your password at any time by clicking My Account.
  4. Passwords are encrypted and no-one, including the Administrator can see your password.
  5. If you are having problems logging in, it may be due to your internet browser not supporting cookies, or an internet security setting has disabled the use of cookies. Usually the easiest solution is to upgrade to the latest version of your internet browser (eg. download Firefox or Internet Explorer).

Submitting Adverts

  1. To submit a new advert, click New Advert.
  2. Note that some of your user login details will be added automatically to your advert. However, you can change these details before submitting the advert, or in the case of email address, simply click the checkbox to exclude the email from your advert. This is designed to save you time when submitting adverts.
  3. New submitted adverts need to be approved before being made available to the public.
  4. Within a category, your advert will be listed in the reverse date order of when the advert was first created or last modified (if after 7 days).
  5. To avoid duplicates and make the service fair to everyone, adverts for the same horse or item must not be submitted as a new advert within 7 days. Please edit your existing advert and if you do this after 7 days the date on the advert will automatically change to the current date (and hence move back up the list).
  6. An advert can be cancelled at any time, either by yourself or the Administrator.
  7. Cancelled adverts and very old adverts will be deleted automatically after a period of time, at the discretion of the Administrator.

Advert Content

  1. Inappropriate or offensive content will not be approved. The site is moderated.
  2. Make sure your content is consistent with the category. The Administrator reserves the right to make judgement on this, and may in some cases decline content.
  3. The Administrator reserves the right to decline adverts without the need to provide reason or explanation, although normally an explanation will be given.
  4. Horses For Sale category: Be aware that this is for Horses for Sale only - Strictly for that and not related goods/services!
  5. Clothing category: Appropriate for your advert if a rider wears it (chaps, jackets etc).
  6. Saddlery category: Appropriate for your advert if a horse wears it (saddles, bridles etc).
  7. Wanted adverts should be put into the wanted general category unless they are specific to horses, agistment and property.
  8. It is not permissible for advertisements for browband makers, non sponsoring saddlerys etc to be advertised in the personal saddlery sections. As you are performing as a business, your advertisements will be posted in the Business Directory section. These Directories have been created to ensure your appropriate advertisement will remain, without the need to constantly resubmit and clutter the personal sections.
  9. Do not submit items you are selling at the same time on e-bay. You are paying them for a service.
  10. If you need to communicate with the Administrator then you can use the Chat Notes input box. Theses details are not included in the advert.
  11. Spell checking is available in the latest versions of the popular internet browsers. Spelling errors are underlined in red and usually a simple right click can correct the spelling. (eg. download Firefox or Internet Explorer)

NOTE: These rules may seem strict at times, but are designed to protect against personal liable and respecting the viewing time of all website visitors.

Photos

  1. You can add up to 2 photos per advert (add one at time). There are limits on the size of your original photo file that you can upload. The photos will be automatically resized to a maximum width and height (currently set at 400 pixels).
  2. If any more than 2 photos are required you will have to make your own collage, but be aware that too many photos in a collage may make them very hard to see.
  3. You can upload only JPG or GIF format files. The format of the file is determined by the file name extension.
  4. You cannot upload BMP format files. Instead, convert to JPG format using an image editing software (a simple Save As and choosing JPG normally does the trick). BMP files are often too large and slow to upload or email, so it is a good idea to avoid using this format.
  5. If you dont have any image editing software, or are having trouble resizing your photos try the free service provided by www.picnik.com
  6. Photos must not be embedded within a word document or PDF file.
