The trusted home of horses in the UAE

The UAE is one of the world’s great horse nations — endurance weekends at Al Wathba, Arabian championships, Meydan nights, thousands of horses changing hands every season. Yet until Dar Faras, there was no real marketplace for them. On the generic classifieds, horses sit unstructured under “Pets” — no papers, no discipline, no registration fields. So the trade ran on Instagram DMs and WhatsApp forwards: stolen photos, unverifiable pedigrees, deposits sent to strangers.

Dar Faras (دار فرس — “house of the horse”) exists to fix that with a simple thesis: in a market where a horse can cost more than a car, buyers deserve car-market rigor. Structured listings instead of captions. Registry-checked papers instead of promises. Independent vet exams instead of a seller’s word. Verified stables instead of anonymous accounts. Escrow milestones instead of bank transfers into the dark.

Principles

• Every claim checkable. A badge without a date, document or registry record behind it is marketing. We don’t do that kind of badge.
• No commission on sales. Dar Faras earns from visibility and trust services, so our incentive is a market that works — not a cut of your horse.
• The buyer’s vet is the only vet. Pre-purchase exams are commissioned by and reported to buyers. Always.
• Bilingual by design. Arabic isn’t a translation layer here; it’s half the market and half the product.
