I'm thinking of selling my two horses as with college and work I just don't have enough time for them, but I have absolutely no idea what to write in their ads. I want them to go to exactly the right person for them but it's really hard to get across exactly what I mean, like Colorado is forward going but if I put that people might think he's crazy, which he is far from.. Argh. This is what i've got so far: (apologies for length of post)

Colorado:
14.3 bright bay Criollo gelding. Forward going, loves being ridden. Neck reins, ideal for teenager wanting to have fun. Jumps up to 3ft, nice paces, pleasure to ride. Hacks out alone/company, good to shoe, prefers to live out. Quick learner but needs firm hand. 8/9 years old, from Uruguay.

Sapo:
14.1 dark bay Criollo gelding. Neck reins. Novice ride, suitable for someone wanted a quiet, slow pony. Doesn't get fresh if not ridden. Good to hack/shoe etc. Lives in/out. Uncomplicated. 9/10 years old, from Uruguay.

?? :/
 
oh forgot to say that Sapo jumps up to 3ft too, but with a lot of leg haha

What about:
Passports;
Vet;
Load;
Travel;
What have they done;
Snaffle mouthed?
Jumps?

Those are just a few for now

. They sound nice, can you not keep one, or both and loan or share? When you say 'neck rein', is that because you do some Western or Polo with them?
 
Thanks!
They both have full passports, fine with vet, only been loaded once actually so might have to do that again just to check, they used to be working horses in Uruguay, no they have typical western bits, and yes they both jump. No unfortunately I can't as they are kept at my house and no one lives near us for miles. Yes they are both western horses and have done a little bit of polo.
(another long reply, so much to say..)
 
Pricewise..Not really sure as I want them to go to the right home, rather than for the best price, so haven't decided yet. Not ridiculous money that's for sure.
I have pics but how do I post them on here? :S
Swindon.
 
I assume everything for sale has a passport and find it strange if it is added in the ad as you shouldn't be selling one without one.

I would like to know when they were imported from uruguay I otherwise think they are quite nice descriptions, the first one I think gets the point across, maybe but forward going but never silly? doesn't buck/rear etc? would that be about right. (We have one similar!)
