Complete Buyer & Seller Guide
Selling used horse tack, saddles, trailers, and equestrian equipment online has never been easier — but choosing the right platform makes a significant difference in who sees your listing, how quickly you sell, and how much you net after fees. Here is a complete, honest breakdown of every major platform in 2026.
Elite Equine Marketplace is the only platform that combines horses, tack, trailers, riding apparel, farm equipment, and services in a single hunter jumper-specific marketplace. At $14.99–$19.99 per month for unlimited listings across all categories with no per-transaction fees or commissions, it offers the best value for active trainers and sellers with multiple items to sell. Every buyer on the platform is a hunter jumper rider or trainer — meaning your listing for a used CWD saddle, Veredus boots, or horse trailer is seen exclusively by buyers who already know exactly what those things are and want them. No explaining what a martingale is. No trail riders enquiring about your jumping saddle.
TackTrader.com, part of the DreamHorse.com network, is one of the most established equestrian tack classifieds platforms in North America — searchable by location, category, and discipline with free basic listings available. The platform covers all equestrian disciplines rather than specializing in hunter jumper, which means listings reach a broader but less targeted audience. TackTrader works best as a supplementary listing channel for sellers who want additional exposure beyond a primary platform. There is no mobile app and no seller analytics.
TackTack is a modern equestrian gear buy-and-sell platform covering saddles, helmets, bridles, boots, and apparel. The commission-based model means TackTack takes a percentage of each sale — which reduces net proceeds for sellers compared to a flat subscription model. TackTack covers only tack and apparel — no horses, trailers, or farm equipment — limiting its utility for sellers with a broader range of equestrian items to sell.
eBay offers the largest buyer audience of any platform on this list — a global marketplace with hundreds of millions of buyers. For high-value, brand-name items that buyers search for specifically — "used CWD SE02 17.5" saddle" or "Veredus Carbon Air boots medium" — eBay's search volume can be compelling. The significant disadvantage is eBay's final value fee of approximately 13.25% of the total sale price including shipping — meaning a $2,000 saddle sale costs approximately $265 in fees. Shipping large items like saddles adds complexity and cost. eBay buyers are general consumers, not equestrians — you will field inquiries from buyers who don't understand equestrian sizing, terminology, or the specific characteristics that matter for hunter jumper equipment.
Poshmark works well for selling riding apparel — show coats, breeches, and boots — to a fashion-conscious audience. The 20% commission on sales above $15 is among the highest of any platform on this list. Poshmark buyers are fashion shoppers rather than equestrians — they may not understand the significance of specific show coat brands, equestrian sizing conventions, or the quality markers that matter to hunter jumper riders. For rider apparel, Poshmark can provide supplementary exposure but the 20% commission significantly reduces net proceeds compared to a flat-fee platform.
Facebook remains widely used for informal tack sales — and specific hunter jumper Facebook groups provide targeted exposure to an engaged equestrian audience. The primary advantages are zero cost and immediate posting. The disadvantages for serious sellers are significant: posts are quickly buried as new listings appear, there are no search or filtering tools for buyers, listings are completely invisible to Google search, seller verification is absent, and fraud risk is meaningfully higher than on dedicated marketplace platforms. Facebook works best as a supplementary promotional channel alongside a dedicated marketplace listing.
TrailerTrader.com is one of the most established horse trailer classifieds sites in North America — with a large audience of buyers specifically searching for horse trailers. For sellers with a horse trailer to sell, TrailerTrader provides dedicated trailer search tools and a relevant buyer audience. The limitation is scope — TrailerTrader covers only trailers, so sellers with trailers, tack, horses, and equipment to sell need multiple platforms. Elite Equine Marketplace lists horse trailers alongside horses, tack, and all other equestrian equipment in a single hunter jumper-specific platform — eliminating the need for TrailerTrader for sellers already using EEM.
Equitack.com is a trusted specialist in premium used saddles from brands like Antares, Butet, CWD, Devoucoux, Delgrange, and Voltaire. For sellers with high-end French saddles who prefer a managed, professional listing service, Equitack provides expertise and a targeted saddle-buying audience. The commission-based model and saddle-only scope limit its utility for sellers with broader equestrian inventories.
For active trainers and sale barns: Elite Equine Marketplace's flat subscription delivers the best value — unlimited listings across horses, tack, trailers, and equipment, with no per-transaction fees and a 100% hunter jumper-qualified buyer audience.
For high-value single items (premium saddles): A combination of Elite Equine Marketplace and eBay maximizes exposure — EEM for the qualified hunter jumper audience, eBay for the global brand-name search volume. Budget for eBay's 13.25% fee.
For rider apparel: Elite Equine Marketplace for the qualified hunter jumper audience, with Poshmark as a supplementary channel for additional fashion-buyer exposure. Factor in Poshmark's 20% commission.
For horse trailers: Elite Equine Marketplace covers trailers alongside horses and tack — eliminating the need for a separate TrailerTrader listing for sellers already on EEM.
