Every plan, in pounds
Horse people are used to budgeting. Hay, bedding, shoes, insurance, livery and the vet all come round with alarming regularity, and nobody enjoys a surprise bill. So here is every Horsey Lover UK plan laid out in one place, in British pounds, with nothing tucked away.
There are two upgrade tiers, VIP and VIP Plus, and five plan lengths for each.
| Plan length | VIP | VIP Plus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 week | £14.99 | £15.99 |
| 1 month | £24.95 | £34.24 |
| 3 months | £59.95 | £77.01 |
| 6 months | £74.70 | £128.31 |
| 12 months | £119.88 | £208.05 |
These are the full prices for each plan. What each tier includes is shown on screen before you pay, so you can compare them side by side.
What renews and what does not
This is the part people most often want to know, so it is worth stating clearly.
- One-week, one-month, three-month and six-month plans renew automatically at the same price when they end, unless you cancel before the renewal date. A one-month VIP plan, for example, renews at £24.95.
- Twelve-month plans do not renew. When a 12-month plan ends, it simply stops. If you want to continue, you choose a new plan at that point.
If you would rather not think about renewals at all, a 12-month plan avoids them entirely. If you prefer to keep things flexible, a shorter plan lets you stop whenever you like, provided you cancel before it renews.
Choosing a plan length around your horse year
The horse calendar has its own seasons, and they affect how much time you have for dating.
Winter is often the quiet period for competition but the hardest for yard work: short days, mud, rugs, haylage and frozen water troughs. Evenings in, though, can be good for messaging. Some people find a one-month or three-month plan over the darker months suits them well.
Spring brings turnout, the start of the eventing and point-to-point seasons and lighter evenings. Energy returns, and many riders feel more sociable.
Summer is show season. Weekends disappear into lorries, rings and early starts, while long evenings tempt everyone into the saddle after work. If you are competing most weekends, a longer plan lets you keep conversations going without feeling you must cram dates into a short window.
Autumn sees hunting begin in many areas, the end of the flat season's big meetings and the return of rugs and early darkness. It is also a natural moment to take stock.
There is no wrong choice. A one-week plan is a low-commitment way to see what the site is like. Three or six months gives you time to get to know someone properly. Twelve months covers a whole horse year, all four seasons, without renewal.
VIP or VIP Plus?
Both tiers give you a full upgrade; VIP Plus sits a level above VIP. Their features appear on screen ahead of checkout, letting you weigh one against the other. If you are unsure, start with VIP. You can always move up later.
Cancelling
You can cancel a renewing plan at any time before its renewal date, and it will not renew. Whatever time remains on the current plan is still yours to use. Twelve-month plans need no cancelling, because they end on their own.
Pop a note in your calendar ahead of each renewal, in the same way you might for a farrier visit or vaccination booster. It is easy to lose track of dates in a busy season.
Paying from outside the UK
Prices on this page are shown in British pounds because the site is for UK horse people. If you are paying with a card issued abroad, your bank may convert the charge into your local currency and may add its own fee. Check with your card provider if you are unsure.
Why we show prices before you sign up
Some dating sites only reveal their prices after you have handed over your details and built a profile. We think that is backwards. You would not buy a horse without asking the price, and you should not commit to a dating site without knowing exactly what an upgrade costs. Everything you need is on this page.
Value, honestly
A dating plan is not a guarantee of meeting someone, and no honest site would promise that it is. What a plan gives you is the chance to talk to people who already understand early mornings, muddy boots and why the horse sometimes comes first. Whether that is worth it depends on how much those things matter to you. For many horse people, finding someone who does not need it all explained is worth a great deal.
Budgeting tips from the yard
If you are trying to decide how much to spend on dating, a few rules from horse ownership translate surprisingly well.
Know your fixed costs first. Livery, insurance and the farrier come before luxuries, and so they should. Pick a plan length that fits comfortably alongside them.
Buy for the season you are in. You would not buy a heavyweight rug in May. Choose a short plan if you are heading into a busy competition spell, or a longer one if you have quieter months ahead.
Avoid paying for what you will not use. A plan that renews while you are too busy to log in is like paying for a lesson you never book. Set a reminder, or choose a 12-month plan that ends on its own.
Review it honestly. At the end of a plan, ask whether you enjoyed the conversations and whether you want to continue. If the answer is yes, carry on. If not, stop without guilt.
A worked example
Imagine you event through the summer and expect to have little time between May and August. You might start with a one-month VIP plan at £24.95 in March, while evenings are still dark and you are home by seven. If the conversations go well, you could switch to a three-month plan at £59.95 to carry you into the season. Alternatively, if you prefer to set and forget, the 12-month VIP plan at £119.88 covers the whole year and stops on its own. None of these choices is better than another; they simply suit different diaries.
Whatever you pick, the price you see in the table is the price you pay for that plan.
