Sometimes you have to put the spurs on, even when you'd rather keep on trotting. Dream Quarters is growing — and with that growth comes time for a straight-talking update: what's changing, why — and what stays exactly as it always was.
Dream Quarters is a personal project — built by Simon and his sister Esther, out of genuine passion for western horses. No bidding wars for the top spots, no algorithm deciding who gets seen. Every listing is treated the same, because we believe every horse deserves to be seen and find a good home — whether it's standing in Bavaria or Tuscany.
What's Changing — and Why
Let's be direct: horse listings were free until now — that's the real news. We're not going to bury that or dress it up. Dream Quarters is growing, and to do what we've set out to do — better design, wider reach, native apps — we need a solid foundation. We hope you understand, and we're grateful for your trust.
From June 2026: horse listings are credit-based. No hidden costs — here's everything at a glance:
🐴 Sale Horses — Credit-Based Listings
Horse listings still run for 90 days and can be extended for €5. Buy credits however suits you:
| Package | Price | Saving |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Credit (single listing) | €10 | – |
| 10 Credits | €85 | Save 15% |
| 20 Credits | €160 | Save 20% |
Breeders and dealers with multiple horses benefit most from the 20-credit bundle. Credits don't expire — use them at your own pace.
📱 All listings are also visible in our upcoming native iOS & Android app.
🏆 Premium Breeder Suite — €29 / month
For breeders who want more than a single listing. The Premium Breeder Suite is your digital home on Dream Quarters: follower functionality, foal announcements, an enquiry form, a stats dashboard, and embeddable widgets for your own website. Included: 1 free horse listing per month.
Your breeder profile is fully SEO-optimised and links directly to your own website — meaning more search engine visibility, more visitors to your site, more enquiries. A backlink from Dream Quarters isn't a nice extra; it's real, measurable value.
📱 Breeder profiles and foal announcements are also visible in our upcoming native app.
🐎 Breeding Stallions — Monthly Subscription
A breeding stallion deserves a stage that matches his quality. With a stallion subscription, your sire gets everything he deserves: pedigree, show record, photos, covering terms — permanently visible to mare owners across Europe. Monthly, flexible, no long-term commitment.
📱 Stallion profiles are also visible in our upcoming native app.
🎓 Coach Profile — Monthly Subscription
Trainers and coaches get their own profile on Dream Quarters: disciplines, course listings, and a direct way to connect with the community.
📱 Coach profiles and courses are also visible in our upcoming native app.
Our Promise: Equal Treatment for Every Listing
One principle we hold to and always will: every listing is treated the same. No algorithm favours dealers over private sellers. No listing gets automatic extra visibility because someone pays more. The spotlight on our platform is always random — quality and chance decide, not the wallet behind it.
That's not a marketing line. That's how we think.
Where Does the Money Go?
Short answer: back into the platform — and directly back to you.
Every euro goes into:
- Design & user experience — a platform that's a pleasure to use, especially on mobile
- Social media presence — so Dream Quarters shows up where horse people spend their time, and your listings reach an even wider audience
- Native iOS & Android apps — we're building them now and genuinely excited. A beautiful new way to discover horses — and to be notified the moment your dream horse arrives in our stable
- Servers & infrastructure — fast, stable, and secure as the community keeps growing
We keep improving — and honestly, we're quite excited about what the native apps are going to mean for you. They're going to be really good.
We're not a corporation with shareholders. Every euro you spend goes directly into the work that puts more eyes on more horses.
