I own very few equine related DVDs. I simply am not willing to pony up the dollars for something I might watch once or twice.
Now, I don’t have to. There are (at least) two companies who are offering DVD rental programs akin to Netflix.
Horseflix offers three membership categories:
- 1 DVD at a time costs $9.99/month.
- 2 DVDs at a time costs $14.99/month
- 3 DVDs at a time costs $19.99/month
You can keep the rentals for up to 21 days. Shipping is free both ways. Videos returned more than 7 days past the due date will be charged a replacement fee of $50 per individual video. If the video is part of a series, the replacement cost will be higher. The replacement fee will be refunded if the videos are returned.
BarnSweetBarnDVDs offers a similar service at a slightly higher price:
- 1 DVD at a time costs $9.99/month.
- 2 DVDs at a time costs $17.99/month
- 3 DVDs at a time costs $25.99/month
There is no limit on how long you can keep the rentals (no late fees). Shipping is free both ways. BarnSweetBarnDVDs offers a 14 day trial period during which they will send you two DVDs.
Both services are enticing. I may start with the BarnSweetBarnDVDs to get the trial period (I’m a sucker for free!) and because I might want to keep a DVD more than 21 days. However, I’ll be browsing their titles list to see which service is a better fit.
