How do I place a listing?

Please follow these steps to place a classified listing on Starquine.com:

  1. Log In
  2. Select "Create a Listing" which is a blue button at the top of your screen
  3. Select "Add new Classified"
  4. Choose a Category (ie Yearling, Broodmare, Stallion Season)

  6. Attach the photo or photos. Attach the link to a YouTube video if applicable.
  7. Decide if you would like to upgrade your listing.

Once you have completed those steps, Starquine will be alerted that a listing has been placed. Once alerted, we will attach the pedigree for the horse. Depending on the time of day the listing is created, you may see the pedigree attached within several minutes or within 24 hours.

What do I do if I am unable to attach my photos?

If you have any issues at all uploading your photo or photos to your listing, please email them to [email protected] and we will get them added to your listing on your behalf. Please be sure to clarify the name of the horse along with the photo(s). You are welcome to email the photo(s) at any time but Starquine will add them to the site during business hours which are Monday through Friday 9am EST to 5pm EST, excluding holidays.

How do I attach a video to my listing?

In order to include a video to your listing, the video must be a YouTube link. Once you have that YouTube link, just copy and paste it to the attach video screen when creating or editing a listing.

How do I find what I'm looking for?

You have several options:

  • We offer a quick search form on the front page for you to enter keywords to search.
  • We offer an Advanced Search page for you to refine your search criteria.
  • We offer browsing filters when you are browsing by category.
  • If you already know what you are looking for you can browse the categories listed on the left side of the site's pages.

How do I sort by state or region?

On the home page, scroll to the bottom left of the screen. There you will see a blue bar "Browse Your Region". In that box, select the region you would like to sort by with United States being the top option. Once United States is selected, scroll back down then to further sort by a particular state.

Please be reminded, that after you have selected a state, you will only see horses or items for sale that are located in that state. To return to seeing all items or horses for sale, you must "Clear Selection."

Can I save items to revisit later?

Yes. You can maintain your own "favorites" list within your account. Each listing on our site has an "add to favorites" link. Simply click that link and we will add that item to your favorites list.

What if I can't find what I'm looking for?

You can set up search filters within your account area. Our site will then screen all new listings, as they are placed on the site, and if an item is listed that meets your filter (search) criteria, we will automatically send you an email notification.

How do buyers and sellers communicate with each other?

We provide buyers with the ability to contact the seller through a form that is accessible on each of the seller's listing pages. The seller will then be notified by email of the buyer's questions and the seller can either reply by email or log in to their account and reply through our onsite messaging system. The seller can choose to keep their email address anonymous.
