A quickie please! Suitable photo for sale ad?

[Enfys]

I usually use side on photos but haven't got any up to date ones at the moment, and now, blast it, Isabella is looking decidedly fluffy and boringly milk coloured, she also has a sunburnt nose too right now, bit like getting a pimple on the night of an important date

.

I can't make my mind up. Action or still?

Should I use this?

Or this ?:

Thankyou.
Can I advertise her as pretty traffic proof do you think? That combine thingy was making the house shake and they all just took no notice.

still, i think. lovely filly. i don't think you can say "traffic proof" until they've been out in traffic (under saddle or in harness) a lot and not batted an eyelid, i think you could say something like "amazingly calm temperament" or sth. i'm sure she just took her cue from the others tbh, if they'd been terrified of the combine, she prob would have been too! she's very sweet, best of luck!

Still photo. But if you advertise on say Horsemart, you can use 3 photos. Unless she has been led out in all sorts of traffic, don't put traffic proof - put something like "is used to heavy farm machinery" after all you have the photo to prove it! She is lovely btw, best of luck selling her.

The still photo!

Oh yes, definatly traffic proof, those combine things are huge and if she wasnt scared of that she wont be scared of anything

The still pic is the best

Best of luck with selling her.

I like both, but probably the still one if you can only use one.

Want to Fedex her down to Georgia?

 

[Donkeymad]

She's a beauty. Still photo, has much more 'appeal'

The still....however I would actually try to take one side-on.

Actually, I put the traffic proof comment in as a bit tongue in cheek, but I should have put the appropriate smilie too

. Just goes to show doesn't it?
I wasn't surprised that she takes no notice of the traffic, for weeks in the summer we had the county digging up our road and she was practically hanging over the fence watching them. The workmen would go and say "Good Morning " to her every day!

Do Horsemart cover Canada too? (That is a serious question by the way, not sarcastic)

I have managed to lose my credit card, and OH isn't home so I can't put any ads in anyway. No chance of a decent side on session today because it's overcast and pretty dull here this afternoon.

Do you think a younger, summer time (with sleeker coat) would be OK? As long as I state the age it was taken at.

Enfys; I would never advertise any of my foals the way they are at the moment with their fuzzy foal coats....so no I don't think there is anything wrong at all with advertising her with her sleek summer coat. Foals all look incredibly scruffy at this time of year so an earlier photo would represent her far better I think.
