What is and is not real on Mount

The listings are invented

All 45 listings and all 12 sellers were written for this demonstration. No horse named here exists, none is for sale, no price is a real asking price, and no yard, trainer or breeder named here is a real business. Nothing on Mount should be taken as an offer to sell a living animal.

Every seeded row carries a flag in the data marking it as demonstration content, so the whole set can be removed in a single step before Mount ever handles a real listing.

The photographs are real, and of other horses

Photography comes from Wikimedia Commons under free licences. Each photograph shows a real horse that has nothing to do with the fictional listing it illustrates. Every listing names its photographer and licence. Full credits.

Nothing is verified

Mount has not run any verification process on any seller, horse, veterinary record or ownership history. No listing carries a verified badge and no seller has a reputation score, because neither has been earned. The filter for verified sellers is wired up and correctly returns nothing.

Your activity stays in your browser

In this build there is no shared database. Your account, watchlist, saved searches, messages, offers, trial requests and any listing you create are stored in your own browser on this device. They do not reach a server, they do not appear on your other devices, and a message you send does not arrive in anybody else’s browser. Clearing site data erases all of it.

To see both halves of a deal, sign in as one of the demonstration sellers from the sign-in page: your own offers and messages then appear on their side.

No money moves

Mount takes no payment, holds no escrow and has no payment provider connected. An offer here is a message about a number, not a contract.
