Hello everyone 
I have made the decision to sell my new mare, and I'm after recommendations for the best places to advertise that get a lot of traffic, as I've not had much interest from adverts on Facebook, Preloved, Horsemart. All the free ones basically.
I'm not opposed to paying for an advert at all, as I had great success with Horsequest for my old 13.3 pony. However they are very expensive, and I managed to sell my previous bay mare on a free site very recently and got no enquiries at all from the paid adverts I placed.
Also, as I haven't had much interest, what are people's opinions on her advert/price?
I'll copy it below this so you can all see, and tell me if I've got her up for too much, or the advert isn't worded well. I have only had her for just over 6 weeks, but she has proved to be too forward going for my already very fragile nerves, so I've made the decision to give up owning horses slightly earlier than planned (mid-late 2017).
She is a brilliant pony, and hasn't done anything wrong at all, I have just lost my nerve completely recently from my bay mare that I sold 6 weeks ago, that another forward going horse isn't suited to me.
14.2hh
10 years old
Irish Cross
Grey
Mare
Been there done it type. Ideal second pony for ambitious child/teen, or equally a small adults ride.
Forward going ride, loves her jumping, speedy but careful jumper, point and go type.
Good to hack alone and in company, has seen lorries, tractors etc.
Good to load, box, shoe, catch.
Has done SJ, XC, Fun rides.
Perfect to handle on the ground.
Turns out with all horses, no fuss type horse, good doer and cheap to keep.
Can be left for days, then get back on and shell be no different.
Hasnt done much in the way of schooling, shes been used as a fun horse to hack/jump.
Ideal horse to jump on and go out and win.
No blemishes or lumps and bumps.
