Horsetopia Adds A Local Page
|
|
Until recently, Horsetopia.com was a great place to go if you wanted to buy a horse, but that was really the only service that the site offered. Now they've expanded to include several other local services and information and they've titled it “Horsetopia Local.” Because it's a new section, there's not much posted yet, at least in my zip code. I live in a relatively “non-horsey” area though, so that may explain it. You can access it by going to www.horsetopia.com then clicking on “New Classifieds.”
Local Services
This is an area that is particularly useful because it might be fairly easy to find vets in your immediate area but when it comes to finding services like hay providers, equine massage therapists and horse photographers, the search gets a little trickier. This section also provides links for equine dentists, farriers and horse transport.
For Sale
This is an interesting section because it's difficult to find local horse stuff for sale unless you go to shows or interact with a variety of other horse people on a regular basis. Usually the only choice that you have is ordering off of bidding sites and buying items sight-unseen. When buying used products such as saddles this isn't the ideal situation because you really need to see the condition and size of the item in order to buy what you need.
Miscellaneous
Other really cool things that are listed include local clubs and associations, boarding facilities, trainers and events. Having a resource such as this all in one place will be extremely valuable to people who are wanting to connect locally but don't have any idea how to get started.
Though this page doesn't have a whole lot of content yet, it could be an amazing portal if they promote it. Horsetopia Local may turn out to be a great way to buy and sell items, get information out quickly and promote club events and local horse businesses. Three-month text ads on the page are free so the site will bear watching to see if it fulfills its potential as a local one-stop place for all things horse.

If you look at the Help page, under HT local, it says it's just for the US and Canada, but that they may add further areas if there's a demand for it.
