What kind of pictures do I include in a horse for sale ad?

The dressage community should particularily be drawn to it since that is his specialty. I was thinking some action shots, a head shot and a body shot but then that all seems like way too much. Also how long and how in depth should the text be?


Thanks!What kind of pictures do I include in a horse for sale ad?
At least a conformation/body shot of him just standing there, side on. Pics of him in action under saddle and maybe a head shot. Maybe even you could include a video link (and upload something to youtube of him in action).


Text should basically be all the info you want people to know. I know from looking at ads online some people only write one paragraph, some write like 4 paragraphs. The more detailed the better.


Should include (if these things don't apply then don't include them), name, age, breed, colour, sex, height, how long he's been broken, how long dressage training, what he's learnt (can he do lateral and all that), stuff that he's learning at the moment, good to shoe/float/catch, never bucked, reared, bitten, for intermediate rider (or whatever), would suit dressage (and Adult Riding Club, showing, hacking, or whatever), sound, good conformation, vet check welcome, email and contact details, contact for more photos/info.


Basically everything you want people to know (what you're comfortable with), don't worry about being too detailed, I know personally I'm more interested in the more detailed ads, if they're too brief then it doesn't really tell you much about the horse.What kind of pictures do I include in a horse for sale ad?
Confirmation shot and a few action shots. Have some shots of him riding, preferably in a show, if possible. I will look more at a horse under saddle than one at liberty - being under saddle shows the horse really is broke to ride.





The confirmation shot is important to show how nice the horse looks and how well it will fit into the sport intended.
the text should be long enough to convince people that he's worth buying but not too long that they get bored and think you're desperate. for the picture, i would suggest a conformation pic of the horse of one side, and extras would be an action shot and a conformation shot w/ tack on.
HAve shots of him riding. We are in the market and my mom will not buy a horse if no one is riding it. Action shots are good , it shows how your horse moves. The text should be pretty in depth but, not so much it bores the reader. Good Luck and I Hope your horse finds a nice ,healthy home.
A conformation shot and some action shots. This link is amazing and really funny. Found it on FHOTD. It basically highlights everything you should NOT do when you sell your horse. Good luck!

i'd start out for one add to put up one side shot photo of the horse, and if there's room a head/head photo. then put in you have more photos and anyone intersted should email you for them.


but that's just what i'd do. good luck
I think a head shot a full body shot (from the side) would be a good idea.


Put as many pictures as you want!


People would see all the good things about it and may be quicker to buy. ;D
You should include as many pics as u can do because the people will get a better idea if they want 2 bye him!!!!!





And in my opinion all pics of horses and ponies are cute and gorgeous!!!!!


LOL
