Im going to be "properly" advertising my gelding and need a price, also how does this advert sound

Darsey 15.3hh 4y/o irish tb, registered and passported with weatherbys, professionally broken. schooling nicely, jumping a course of 2-2'6'' and will be doing xc schooling and local shows in coming weeks. great to catch,load,travel,clip,shoe ect. up to date with vaccinations/teeth/worming. has loose jumed 1.30m with plenty of scope. Lovely paces, fab temperamant. hacks out alone or in company and not fazed by any amount of traffic ££££ ono inc rugs only for sale due to lack of time and new job

he comes with hw rhino+ turnout rug, hw stable rug, masta fly rug, wb fleece, and leather headcollar.
 
I might be trying to improve the photo's a bit, he has a lovely shiny coat in 2nd picture but his stance is a bit peculiar.
Not sure on price, some of the tack gadgets he has on would put me off - possibly £2-2500, more if you were based down south!
 
i do have more better quality pics but cant find them, he dosent normally wear a martingale, i just like something to grap on to when im jumping! and is snaffle mouthed
 
I agree on getting better pics - make sure he stands square as they can look a bit deformed even if they aren't if you know what I meen. He looks a lovely horse - why are you selling him?
 
Aww thats a bit sad - dads are so mean!! I'd be tempted to get him doing a bit more - so you can say he's done a dressage test etc. Then he might be worth more. He's only a baby though isn't he so you don't want to rush him. Good luck!

Are there any evening things you could go to? It's a shame for TB's becasue any other horse is worth more as a youngster but I suppose there are so many young TB's about they have to be a bit more proven to be worth more compared to other breeds.
 
I agree with the post about taking the tack extra's off.
He has a flash on in 1 pic then a grakle in the next, martingle in both.
Could you perhaps present him without some bits and bobs?And have some schooling shots to back up your add? Ie a pic of him loose jumping and a general trotting with rider on board??
Just my opinion- looks a nice sort though!
 
he goes without a noseband and martingale but he shares my tack with my other horse so thats the only reason he has them on. will defo get some pics of him standing roperly and jumping nicely and gadget free!
 

I bought my Irish TB as a four year old. And I paid £3700 for him without any tack, rugs or anything. Irsh horses are great and have good heads, so I dont think youll have any problems selling him. If I had the time at the mo, Id prob be interested in him. Young Irsh horses are a real pleaure to school and bring on. Ive taught my boy pretty much everything and he is prob one of the best jumping horses Ive ever had.

i think alot of people are put off by the fact hes a 4yo tb but he is sound as a pound! he is very quiet and id love to keep him, i fell in love with him and bought him whn he wa just 3yrs old so im sure if i hang on someone else will fall in love with him
 
He looks right up my street too...mmmmmmmm!!!!!

(Goes to chat up OH!!!!!)


Agree totally with others about the gadgets. They wouldnt put me off but they contradict what you are saying in the advert so it could come over as untruthful. I know thats not the case at all but its just the message it gives. Hope that helps.
