At Right Horse Right Home we are passionate about transforming how people can find the right horse and indeed the right home for their horse. Empowering those who have these long term and costly decisions to make by providing transparent information by which users can make informed choices.
Our Founder - Rebecca Evans
Rebecca established and launched Right Horse Right Home in April 2016. Having worked in the equine charity and commercial sector for over 15 years previously she is only too aware of the problems that result when horses end up in the wrong homes. Having previously set up an online equine rehoming charity from concept she was driven to take lessons learned from this experience and transform how horses are sold whatever their value for the wider, more commercial sector.
Right Horse Right Home was launched in April 2016 and was set to empower owners by providing them with considered online applications from buyers and loaners and not the bombardment of phone calls, messages and texts. In return the system would provide prospective buyers with accountable, up to date and reliable information about the horses from which to make informed choices.
Unlike other horse advertising platforms, Right Horse Right Home insists all owners answer important behaviour questions about their horse in order for their ads to be published. Owners have to state whether their horse is “suitable for a novice”, “is good to hack alone”, “is good to catch”, “has no vices” as well as how long the horse has been in its current home etc. So much information can be omitted on other platforms and Rebecca wanted to create a safer, more responsible, transparent way to for horses to find the most suitable long term homes. All adverts are meticulously screened by equine professionals prior to publication and any seller or buyer who is found to be dishonest will have their ads removed. With the honest sharing of information from both parties this goal is more easily achievable and everyone benefits, especially the horse.
Rebecca has owned horses for well over 30 years, initially being a keen pony clubber and then moving into affiliated showing, predominantly of Mountain and Moorland breeds. Her favourite breed is the Connemara pony due to its docile temperament, versatility and elegance and she has owned Connemara Ponies for over 25yrs. Rebecca is also Chair of her local Riding Club.
Since its inception in 2016, Right Horse Right Home has gained over 160 5* reviews on Google, has rehomed / sold / loaned 1000s of horses and to this day provides a unique, safer, more accountable and transparent horse advertising platform.
“Given the vast horse population, where supply exceeds demand, it is more important than ever to revolutionise the buying and selling of horses. Providing a tried and tested system that empowers the decision makers can only be a great thing for the horse.”
