The Horse-trading web Site has been in existence for some twelve years when it was started by Justin and Ali Le Hoon in 1995. From its conception then
it was always intended to appeal to the professionals as well as the amateur involved with horses and ponies. It was designed to cover all aspects of the
equestrian world and to offer not only the sale of the animals themselves but include the other areas that are associated with the industry.
For a period of time the site was associated with another firm “Equestria” and formed the classified section of that Company, but still performing in
much the same way as before. After some three years the association with Equestria was terminated and the site then returned to the full control of Justin
and Ali. However in the meantime they had developed other business commitments when meant they were unable to devote the time that the site required.
And for this reason I was fortunate to be able to buy the site from them in July 2003. I had been aware of it’s operation for several years while I
too was associated with Equestia, it had always impressed me then with the wide equestrian field it covered and the tremendous response it received from
visitors to the site.
During the time I have owned the site, I have with the help my Web Designer endeavoured, using the improved design facilities now available, to make
the site much easier to use both for those visiting it and especially for those wishing to use its advertising facilities We have always considered the use
of photographs with the item for sale whether it be live stock or other goods or services to be of paramount importance and it is in this area the site has
been progressively improved, the advent of Broadband making this even more possible.
During the many years the site has been operative it has consistently received high rating form the major search engine’s that visitors may use to
link to it and we work consistently to maintain this enviable position.
