Free adverts are standards adverts that the administrator has approved without the normal £8.99 payment. 

Low value equestrian, agricultural, small holding & countryside related ads up to £174.99 (non-animal) may be approved without payment, providing that they qualify, and entirely at the administrator’s discretion.

Free ads are provided to allow our users to advertise low value unwanted inanimate equestrian items without payment. Free ads use the same system & categories as paid ads therefore must qualify or the standard payment will be required.

All horses, ponies or other animals offered or wanted for sale, rehoming regardless of value, full loan, part loan, share, riding offered/rider wanted, do not qualify as free ads so will not be approved without payment.

There are no special free ad categories, but they must satisfy the criteria stated in the guidelines & price list, so please read the rules & guidelines before accepting them. No Price = No Free Ad.

All ads free & paid go through exactly the same system, so the payment button will be seen. If the advert qualifies as a free advert & you do not wish to feature the advert, you can ignore the payment section & it will be approved on the next update. 

The NFED & it’s sponsors are funding free adverts by allowing free use our resources, support & benefiting from the considerable amount of money, time & effort that we spend on running & promoting the site.

If you appreciate the NFED and the work that goes into the running of such a unique site, you are very welcome to ignore the free offer and pay for the advert. Any contributions towards our running expenses are greatly appreciated. In return, suitable adverts will be featured.

*All users are fully responsible for monitoring their own usage which does depend on trust. Adverts will be checked frequently, if we find that an advertiser is abusing the system, all future & existing ads will be checked from that advertiser.

**To keep the NFED running as a viable business whilst making it possible to offer free ads & services does depend entirely on a sufficient number of paid ads. Anyone involved with, promoting, administrating a website, social media group or page offering a similar service, allowing advertising or in competition with the NFED will not be eligible for free advertising.
