Curious where people do their online horse shopping/browsing

Warmbloods for Sale - for dreaming of when I hit the lotto

Equinenow - not usually, but I found some horses to look at on this site when I went up to Alberta on a shopping trip.

Dreamhorse - standby for browsing

Craigslist - browse locally for a diamond in the rough. Sellers are usually non-responsive or unhelpful though (Q: how tall is your horse? A: IDK, like normal size??)

Facebook - see WfS. Not usually very conducive to real shopping due to the inability to set search parameters.

Other - CANTER
Keep calm and canter on.

As I’m now shopping in Ireland I’m trolling the FB pages, and it’s a real PITA!

Obviously I’m not shopping but when I feel like looking, I browse FB Sport Horses for Sale, and Dressage Horses for Sale. I also look at local horses on the FB page Northern Illinois Horses.

I'm not buying anything, really I'm not, at least one horse has to die first and all of them are making it hale and hearty into old age (which makes me very happy I might add!) but I do tend to keep an eye open for diamonds in the rough just to keep my eye in. So Facebook "dressage horses under 10K" pops up on my timeline, and I also look at KSL.com, which is our local equivalent to Craigslist, and sometimes has hidden gems--(though most of them you just want to take home and give a decent meal and a good trim.) I also look at Dreamhorse occasionally, because there is a particular bloodline/breed I like to keep track of.
