First attempt at advert pics, opinions please

[madhector]

Had a go at taking some advert photos of Spooks today, not sure if I am going down the right lines, so I thought I had better ask on here, did a few confo shots in tack, to show he is broken in etc.. will only get to use one picture so want it to be perfect.

What do you think? Any useful comments appreciated

1.

2.

3.

And then some more ridden ones just because he is such a star

Opinions please

I just had to say i love the look on his face on the first pic. Could do a competition for what he is thinking/saying. Its his eye lol

 

[moneypit1]

I like the first one. x

For an advert I would go for the first jumping pic, assuming you are selling him as child's pony. I like the first confo pic too, except saddle swamps his shoulder.

 

[stormyhorse]

I like the first one, hes cute!

 

[amabelscott]

yeh he looks very sweet in the first pic and i would choose the first jumping pic from the other two

 

[Elise]

I really like the first pic. He is SO cute

How big is he? A little kid is just going to fall in love with him!

 

[marieE]

i like the first.

Its a shame about that, dont have anything else that remotely fits him unfortuently.

11.2hh

What a dude!
Definately the 1st pic.

 

[Booboos]

He is wonderful! Especially the first picture! I am so tempted (11.2hh probably not quite right for me, but I never had a pony as a child so I am due one!).

Pic 1 def the best

The problem is that by putting up a confo pic, you're advertising to a very limited market. It probably is your target market (M&M pony?) but you're missing a huge chunk of the market who want a smart pony who is also safe and fun.
As a baby, you are unlikely to attract pony club type homes anyway I'd have thought just through an advert. Therfore, if he's for showing the confo pics are best but to be brutaly honest, I dont think he's a very typey section A (correct me if I got the breed wrong!)
I think he'd be a super fun M&M cradle stakes pony for a child that wants to do a bit of PC too, so maybe the jumping pic would be best.....

AAAAhhhh!!!

Pic 1 for me!

I'd use the 1st jumping one. Shows he's a snaffle mouth and rideable by a child.

 

[madhector]

Your right, he isnt a very typey section A, would be selling him more as a PC pony as he has the best temprement, so ridden pics would be best I suppose

The saddle with the massive irons makes him look anything but a child's pony! I would rather see him without the saddle if you are not going to use a pic with someone on board.

I don't really like the ridden pics though. Could you borrow a local child and get some pics with someone of the proposed age group riding him? Even taking him to a show and grabbing the nearest competent jockey would do the trick! But you would need to borrow their saddle as well!!!!

I have a little synthetic saddle but thought that wouldnt look great. Must go in search of a small child then...
