As some of you now i am having to sell my Project horse a little early and wondered which photos to use. He is nervous and only up at 900 pounds, unkbroken, 6years. so no jumping/ridden photos!

Here are some i have

I also have a few before photos, so not sure if i should put them up? Here is one

I wouldn't use the last one as he doesn;'t look as well "groomed," the top pictures he looks a nicer/glossier colour, quite like the 2nd and 3rd as they are side on and give a generally good overview, the trotting in the field he has lost a leg but he does look like he moves well. Could just say he is unbroken but bitted in the ad but depends how many pics you can use?

He looks a really nice type/kind eye and head, how tall is he? I don't think you'll have a problem selling him!
 
I found him very thin and a nervous wreck basically.
I have got some wieght on him and you can fly repellant, brush and pick his feet out etc and bit him.
I just dont have the time or facilities to take him futher - or the experiance really. its a shame as i think he may make a lovely RC type, maybe even a show horse for someone
 
I would only use picture No. 3.

What a stunning horse.

I would be very concerned where he would end up.......

Thats the problem Amy. I dont really want to sell him but i dont really have a choice. He does deserve a good home as i am sure he has had his fair share of beatings already

I have done as much as my experiance/facilities allow. I cant afford to put him in livery so he is down a rented field at the moment with no stables/work area so cant really back him myself anyways.
Also have the builders breathing down the neck of the land owner so not sure how long i may have the field for as well
 
He is on horsemart at the moment and a few free sites like Horse hunter.
Turn 3 people down for him as they wanted to now how he was to ride, grrr dont think people read adverts!
 
He looks very like my boy

You could try www.projecthorses.co.uk it's a great site for people who are actively seeking a project, you can be totally honest in your ad on there,specify you want a perm very experienced home,maybe retain part ownership at that price so you can have some input over his future,or at least be kept informed. As AmyMay said, there are concerns where a beautiful horse but with a sad past could end up..if you need any help at all I'd be very happy to help, I placed my youngster thru the project horse website in the perfect perm home and he was another who could have ended up going from pillar to post if I hadn't been very careful.You will get interest in him but you will have to do a lot of research to make sure he finds the right loving home, it will be worth it to see him progress.
 
I like the 2nd pic, just personal preference but I think you should trim his feathers if he'll let you.
 
Are you sure about the unbroken part? A lot of these TB's do go into training but never race, then get sold, get chucked out into the field for years then sold again, so somewhere along the line the owners loose track of wether they actually went into training or not. He could have done a couple of months training at 2/3 years old.
 
He has no name on his passport so cant of been raced but not sure about in training.
He is DNA tested and Microchipped tho.
Thanks for the advice everyone!
