Selling a pony: Pony Search vs Facebook & Preloved
Facebook groups and general classifieds have their place, but they weren't built for selling a family pony. Here's an honest comparison to help you choose where to advertise.
Reach the right buyers. On a dedicated pony marketplace, everyone browsing is looking for a pony — and they can filter by stage, height, temperament and county to find exactly yours. In a general group, your advert competes with tack sales and lost-dog posts and vanishes within hours.
Structured, honest detail builds trust. Pony Search adverts answer the questions families ask — temperament, experience needed, catching, loading, shoeing, clipping — so buyers arrive informed and serious. That means fewer time-wasters and quicker, better sales.
Safer, and no commission. Honest structured adverts, safety guidance and genuine buyers make for a calmer sale — and you keep every penny, because we never take commission. List from just £1 with our launch offer.
Loaning out rather than selling? That's completely free — no fee, no commission. See ponies on loan.

Common questions
Is it better to sell a pony on Facebook or a marketplace?+
For most families, a dedicated marketplace wins: your advert reaches buyers actively searching for a pony, with structured honest details that build trust and cut out time-wasters. Facebook can work but your advert is quickly buried and attracts more time-wasters.
Does Pony Search charge commission like some sites?+
No. There's a single advert fee (from £1 with our launch offer) and never any commission — whatever your pony sells for is yours.
Why do I get so many time-wasters on free sites?+
Free, unstructured adverts attract casual browsers and scammers. A small fee plus honest, detailed listings filters for genuine, suitable buyers.
