When creating a horse for sale add...?

What details do you include?


I know, age, breed, gender, height, color, markings, discipline, what else do I need?


Also a picture.





I've never made an add before, so any info at all would be much appreciated.When creating a horse for sale add...?
Take a photo according to this guide:

You need a really good photo if you expect to sell the horse quickly. The horse must be standing on level ground in good light with no saddle on.





I like to hear...


-any injuries or unsoundnesses the horse has (cribbing, weaving, etc encluded)


-if it loads, clips, ties, hauls, stands for farrier. You can just say ';clips, ties, loads, stands for farrier';. The shorter the better.


-what training it has had, and if the training was done by a professional.


-show record if applicable








A SHORT ad is the best ad. People don't care what your horse's favorite treat is and they don't want to hear every boring detail of its life. They just want the facts, pure and simple, in an easy to read format (so no long paragraphs). Long ads tend to bore people and they move on without reading all of it.When creating a horse for sale add...?
Describe the type of work you have done with the horse, the type of rider it would suit, ie young adult, child, lead rein pony, suitable for an experienced/novice rider. State whether the horse is good in traffic, to shoe, to box, to clip. If he's good around dogs, spooky or not spooky. You are more likely to get responses if you put down the price you're looking for also. After the price say 'no offers' or 'ono-or nearest offer' or 'ovno-or very near offer'. State whether tack/rugs etc are being sold with the horse (if they are) and if he's newly shod state that too.





And DON'T forget to say 'no dealers' and 'to good home only!' =]





good luck!
Price, temperament with other horses and people, bloodlines, showing experience, potential disciplines, skill level, housing requirements (stall, pasture, both, etc.), health (try to put the good things :D), if he is registered, and general location.





I hope that this helps :)
First of all remember to be honest :) Also you should include why you are selling your horse, health (problems and good things), bloodlines, show experience what their temperament is like, some special qualities or abilities, and the cost of your horse.
Really try to put in a profile shot (from the side) for the photo. It shows a horse's conformation, which is important to a lot of people. When I'm looking at horse adds, I always appreciate a good profile photo with the horse's head up!
a cleaned up, conformation picture and a picture under saddle in action. training level, experience of person needed to handle (good for beginner's, experienced, ect.), show record
Those are all really good. I would also include what experience the horse has, any vices, anything he really is great at (clippers, loading, etc), and if he has been shown or won anything.





Good luck
give some details about his temprement, previous and current health, accomlishments, what type of rider he/she needs (beginner, advanced, etc)
It's really easy, all you have to do is put as much information about your horse as possible.
why she is being sold her temperament and anything else that's necessary
