Terms & Conditions

What Horses.ie Does

Horses.ie is a marketplace that brings buyers and sellers of second-hand horse tack together. We provide the platform, but we are not a party to any transaction between users. All sales are directly between the buyer and seller.

Buyer Beware

As with buying anything online, it is very much a case of buyer beware. Always satisfy yourself that the item is as described before committing to a purchase. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Ask questions, request additional photos, and where possible inspect items in person before paying.

Payments

We strongly recommend only exchanging funds through trusted platforms such as Revolut or bank transfer. Avoid sending cash by post or using untraceable payment methods. Where possible, pay on collection so you can inspect the item first.

Prohibited Items

Horses.ie is a marketplace for second-hand horse tack and equestrian equipment only. The following items are strictly prohibited and any listings will be removed immediately:

  • Firearms, guns, and ammunition - including starting pistols, air rifles, and any related accessories
  • Prescription or controlled medications - including veterinary prescription drugs, sedatives, and controlled substances
  • Live animals - horses, ponies, dogs, cats, or any other living creature
  • Stolen goods - any item you do not have the legal right to sell
  • Counterfeit or fake branded goods - knock-off saddles, bridles, or clothing bearing brand names without authorisation
  • Knives, blades, and weapons - including hunting knives and any item primarily designed as a weapon
  • Hazardous materials - chemicals, pesticides, or any substance that poses a health or safety risk
  • Recalled or unsafe safety equipment - helmets or body protectors that have been recalled by the manufacturer

If you're unsure whether an item is permitted, contact us at [email protected] before listing.
