What is Cantra?
Cantra is the social side of PaardPlaats. We're horse people ourselves, and we wanted a place to enjoy horses together, not only to buy and sell them.
It's for riders, owners, breeders, trainers and anyone who simply loves horses. Everything on Cantra is free to watch and play, on your phone or your computer.
- Free, with no catchWatching videos and playing games costs nothing. You only need an account if you want to save horses.
- Real horsesEvery video belongs to a horse on PaardPlaats, with the listing one tap away. No stock footage.
- Made by horse peopleWe know what riders look for in a video: how a horse moves, how it behaves and how it goes for its rider.
Where Cantra is today
Right now, Cantra videos come from horses for sale on PaardPlaats, shown the way you know from social media. This is only the start: more kinds of videos and more to do will follow, for everything to do with horses.
