Equineed, a new website for the sale of Polo Ponies worldwide, has been launched by two university students studying a Degree in Digital Business in Barcelona.
Students and founders of Equineed, Estel Castellà and Caesar Crasemann hope to further develop the business model to include other areas of business over the years to come.
“Our mission is to connect members of the polo community to increase their productivity and their success”, explain the creators of the marketplace.
The platform is completely free for owners to list the sale, or rent of a polo pony, while on the other hand, users searching for opportunities are able to filter results by price, location, age and breed. There are other horse equestrian marketplaces available, however, Equineed is the first to specialize in polo ponies.
We only need a couple of photos of the horse, a brief description and some details such as height and location,”
says Estel Castellà.
There are no commissions of any kind, we only provide the seller’s contact to the buyer”
says Caesar Crasemann.
The project is working with polo ponies to sell, rent and also for breeding activities.
Additionally, we offer a space where people can find services such as referees, veterinarians or transportation, among others,”
explains Castellà.
Both Estel Castellà and Caesar Crasemann are knowledgable in the equine sector and, despite their youth, already have experience as entrepreneurs in different projects.
When I was 16 years old I founded an eCommerce, and now I am working as a marketing manager of a startup”,
explains Estel Castellà, 19 years old.
Caesar Crasemann, 22, says he is passionate about horses:
I have been riding since I was 8 years old, and I have been a professional polo player for some time now”.
Being an entrepreneur is not easy, developing and managing a commercial company while studying is a complex and truly worthwhile task,”
explains Paul Fox, academic coordinator of the Degree in Digital Business at La Salle-URL, Barcelona.
