Eventing Nation's Sport Horse Classifieds

ponyConsequences.jpg

The greatest strength of Eventing Nation is our wonderful community of readers; most eventers in the US and Canada visit Eventing Nation at least once a week, many of you once a day, and some once an hour.  A natural development has been the desire for an Event Horses for Sale section of EN where members of our community can find and market event horses.  An EN classifieds has been our most requested new idea over the past few months, and, as part of our ultimate desire to provide a fun and informative service to the eventing community, I present...


Sport Horse Nation is the classifieds extension of Eventing Nation--an EN colony if you will--and Sport Horse Nation is the place to buy and sell event horses in North America.  Event horses of ever size, shape, personality, and price are welcome.

Posting an classified for a horse is extremely simple:

1. Email the following to classifieds@eventingnation.com:

-A title of less than 50 characters
-A description of less than 200 words
-A short story about the horse (optiona)
-3 adjectives that describe the horse
-A picture of the horse in .jpg format
-The location of the horse
-The price of the horse or a price range in alignment with a, b, c, d, or e price categories in the SHN sidebar
-Suitable contact informaiton
-A link to a Youtube video (optional)

2. Mail a check for $15.00 payable to "Thier Media LLC" to 1605 Greenleaf Ln, Charlottesville, VA 22903

****OR just use the handy-dandy secure credit card payment system we have established through PayPal.

Of course, the mayhem and ridiculousness of Eventing Nation will continue on Sport Horse Nation, as you can already see with the three fake advertisements we have posted today.  The fake ads up now are only temporary and real advertisements will begin being posted in the next few days.  At $15 dollars per classified, I hope that literally almost every event horse for sale in the US and Canada will be posted on Sport Horse Nation.  We will also be posting funny fake ads and articles about buying and selling horses from time to time, and I expect Sport Horse Nation to be an entertaining destination for all eventers, especially if you want to keep an eye on what's for sale out there.

We built Sport Horse Nation for our Eventing Nation community, so please let us know if you have any questions or comments in the discussion section of this post.  Also, please notice the SHN box in our Eventing Nation sidebar that will show the most recent horses for sale on Sport Horse Nation.  I'm definitely nervous, since this is only the second website that I have launched, but I'm also extremely excited and proud that we are providing a great service to the eventing community.

I should also mention that we are working hard on EN swag.  We have a fantastic team of wonderful people helping us to design everything and get bumper stickers, hats, and t-shirts printed, so stay tuned for more info on that soon.  Now, more than ever, go eventing.

Good one, John

Jeeze John, finally! Why did it take so long? :) The new site looks great (of course) and I can't wait to see all the horses for sale. Thanks for putting it all together for us, this is going to be the best place to sell event horses anywhere.

This is great. Will you have other categories of "for sale" for instance, I have (4) Eventing Series WEG tickets for sale. Really good stadium seats (section 104, Row 3 Seats 7/9/9/10. I bought them in 08 during the first offering and sadly, won't be able to make it...
Thank you
Heidi

Hey Heidi, thanks for the question. I'm a big fan of the KISS (keep it simple stupid) philosophy, especially early on with an endeavor, but I think it's a great idea and would be really simple to work other categories in. Thanks for the great suggestion.

Awesome! I am unbelievably thankful I'm no longer horse shopping, so I ask purely out of curiosity: Do you have some kind of expiration date for the ads? One of the problems I ran into with some horse classified sites was ooooold old postings -- they just never got taken down or updated. It was frustrating as a buyer to be carefully combing through ads and to suddenly realize they're all from three years ago.

This is superb! I am horse shopping and selling at moment, and was just wishing that there was some sort of of comprehensive website event horses for sale. the USEA classifieds are pretty good but for some reason not many professionals list their horses there. Hopefully with as this will take off the same way EN has! (I check EN at least 1x per day, and sometimes 3X ;) )

>>Rachel: Thanks for the question. The plan is to post classifieds as we receive them, just like posts on EN, but we will have at least 30 on the page at once. So, the most current classifieds will be visible, and each and every classified will be treated equally and get a maximum amount of attention. We will also put "Sold" in the title of horses whose owners let us know they have been sold.

PAYPAL!!! PLEAAAASSE?!

Hey Lauren, we spent some time talking about this, and decided to start simple, but would PayPal make things easier for anyone else? If so, I can definitely work on adding it.

Paypal absolutely. I would pay an extra FEE just to save the hassle. It is nice to have an instantaneous *done*!!! I don't even own any stamps!

Paypal is it!

Wow, I didn't have to stay tuned for very long. This will be great!

I was thinking of publishing or posting online some of my articles I've written for school but can't afford to copyright them. If they are in my school paper, do I hold any ownership over them or are they protected by law?.
