Australia's go-to marketplace for buying and selling quality horses
Making every transaction simple, secure and successful.
Why Manebid
Galloping into the future
Manebid - a better way to buy horses.
We're building the future of horse buying and selling online - today. Manebid started with a vision to build a better way to buy and sell horses.
Our mission is to put transparency at the heart of equine sales - helping buyers and sellers to make confident, informed decisions and connect the right horses with the right owners.
The easiest way to find and buy quality horses in Australia
Built on real experience, backed by industry expertise.
We’ve all been there - scrolling endlessly, juggling websites, chasing sellers, or dealing with timewasters. Manebid was built to fix that, with one marketplace designed for genuine buyers and sellers.
Manebid sets a new standard
No more chasing details or second-guessing descriptions. Every listing follows a standardised structure with pre-vetted information so you can quickly assess suitability.
The right horse. The right details. No guesswork.
The information you need, instantly.
Manebid helps eliminate misleading ads and hidden surprises with detailed health, training and pedigree information so that buyers get information that actually has meaning.
Our commitment to equine welfare
Doing right by the horse always comes first.
We believe every horse deserves respectful treatment and transparent representation. That’s why we have clear welfare policies which aim to protect the horses being sold, guide responsible sellers, and give buyers confidence that they’re supporting ethical practices.
