British Dressage is delighted to announce the launch of the new-look BD Classifieds portal. The original go-to dressage selling platform is back – and it’s better than ever before. Easy to use, with more features and new categories, the site is the ideal location to sell, buy or advertise your dressage horse, equipment or services.

Horses are of course the main feature as we’re recognised as the best place to reach the dressage market, but we’ve also added new features to cover breeding and stud, alongside youngstock and competition horses.  Tack and Equipment and Yard and Stable are the ideal outlets for all your must-have or must-sell items and services, and we also have a section for horseboxes and trailers where you can advertise boxes or transport services.

With room for unlimited photos, the  facility to embed a YouTube video and a clear location map if you wish, the new platform provides a far more visual way to present your horses, goods and services.

BD CEO Jason Brautigam commented, “Since we launched our new website last October, we’ve been constantly asked when the BD classifieds will return.  It was important that we spent time identifying the most cost effective solution that would also provide the best service for our members.  While we have been in lockdown the team have been busy working on developing, building and developing the site, so we’re delighted that BD classifieds is now ready to make an eagerly awaited debut.

“Furthermore, it’s come at a time when training and participation is getting back underway and people can start viewing horses again, so we’re pleased to be able to provide an effective advertising platform for all dressage enthusiasts to use as the equestrian sector and retail market sets out on the road to recovery.”

As an introductory offer, all two-week ads placed until midnight on Wednesday 17 June will be free of charge. After this, prices range from just £16 for two weeks, up to £260 for a whole year, and BD members will receive a 25% discount on all advertising rates. Please note that all users will need to make a new account, as the system operates independently of our member database – so even if you have an existing login to the main website, you will still need to provide the basic details required.

Visit the classifieds hub where you’ll find a step by step guide to placing an advert, the BD classifieds FAQs, plus further advice for both buyers and sellers and the all-important Terms and Conditions.

We hope you enjoy our new and easy-to-use platform. You should find the process straightforward, but if you have any queries or questions in relation to placing your advert, please contact the BD team on 02476 698839 or email classifieds@britishdressage.co.uk
