Ad ideas for the chestnut boy - any help would be much appreciated!!

[icklemadame]

Trying to write up an ad for our chestnut boy and I'm struggling describing him well enough to actually get a phonecall but without having a million & one calls from inexperienced people hoping for a cheap n' easy horse. Any ideas?? these are links to my posts regarding him for any ideas...

Also which photos do I use? I know none of them are great but I'm struggling to get photos of him as he's not at our yard at the moment and I'm working during the day... I keep pestering for more photos of him but I appear to be banging my head against a wall, especially with this bloody weather...

Just the top photo i think, none of the ones with draw reins on tbh.
and i think "really not novice ride" should warn off the hopeful but inexperienced ones, Just be as honest as possible, really. Hope you find a lovely home for him.

I would say advertise him as a young talented horse who needs work, and is not easy, therefore not an easy ride. Personally I think he looks like a lovely fella, and just say in the ad he has some issues so a competent ride is essential, but would suit all spheres of equestrian.

Photo wise I would put the ones of him jumping cus he gives quite a nice shape over them and hopefully you could get some showjumpers/eventers interested in him.

Best of luck.

I would take a brand new photo of him - one stood up in his bridle for a confirmation shot, and one over a fence (without draw reins).

I would describe him as a young horse that needs bringing on by a competent rider. I'm not sure I agree that he has issues - as all you've ever said really is that without consistent work he's a bit of a bugger.

Good luck - he's super.
