Build a horse classifieds website riders trust.
Yclas lets you build a horse classifieds website with the details riders search for: breed, height in hands, age, gender, colour, discipline and the level of rider each horse suits. Tack, trailers and livery in their own sections, verified sellers, and featured listings that pay for the site.

For people who know horses.
Horse buyers read every line before they drive three hours to try one. The site should make that reading easy.
A horse classifieds website, page by page.
Real screenshots of Pasture, a demo farm and animals site made with Yclas. The horses and sellers are made up; the pages are the real product.
Breed, hands, age and the rider it suits.
Set up the fields once and every seller fills them in the same way: breed, height in hands, age, gender (mare, gelding, stallion), colour, discipline (dressage, show jumping, eventing, western, trail), experience level, and whether the horse is registered. Buyers filter on any of them, and a height range like 15.2 to 16.2 hh is one slider.
- Your own words: hh or cm, "happy hacker" or "schoolmaster".
- Categories: horses, ponies, for loan, tack, trailers, livery and stallions at stud.
Verified sellers and honest listings.
Sellers can send an ID or business document to be verified, and buyers rate them after a sale. Public questions on a listing let a buyer ask about vices or vetting, and the answer stays for the next buyer. AI checks hold listings that look like scams, such as a cheap horse with a deposit asked up front.
- Safety tips in the chat when a message looks like a known scam.
- Reports queue for listings and conversations.
- Your own rules for the AI, in plain words, such as "No horses under three for sale as ridden".
A page for every yard, and memberships for busy ones.
A yard's page shows all its horses, its rating and its badge. Busy yards pay a monthly membership instead of per listing. Stallion owners list their stallion at stud as a service with a fee.
- Business accounts you approve, on Professional.
- Featured horses on the home page and in search.
Everything a horse sale site needs.
Starter is $19 a month for up to 5,000 listings; Professional adds business accounts, memberships and auctions.

How a horse classifieds site earns.
Horse sellers pay for visibility because a horse is a big sale.

How do I build a horse classifieds website?
Sign up, tell the wizard you sell horses, check the fields it writes (breed, height, age, discipline), choose the Equine look and connect your domain. Then invite a few yards to list first.
Can buyers filter by height in hands?
Yes. Make height a number or a range field, in hands or centimetres, and buyers set a range.
Is it a horse sale website builder or a full platform?
Both: you build it without code, and Yclas hosts it, with search, messages, payments for paid extras and moderation included.
Can I list stallions at stud and livery?
Yes, as categories with their own fields, such as stud fee or livery type.
Can horses be sold by auction?
Yes, as timed online auctions on Professional and up.
Can it be one breed only?
Yes. A breed society can run a site for one breed, with fields for registration and breeding.
Do you check horse passports or papers?
No. You can ask sellers to state them in the listing and verify sellers' identity, but Yclas does not check papers.
