I'm selling my boy...best way to write an advert help

[mpicton101]

Had to make some big and (very) hard decisions over the past couple of months and it seems that now is the time I'm going to have to sell my boy due to a few reasons.

Now I've never written an advert and don't want to miss anything out.

This is a heart wrenching decision

, but it now gives me the time to find him the best home possible

. And I shoud be looking for a youngster september time.

write about breeding, what hes done, age, reason for selling, temp, good for farrier/load etc, good to hack, stable manners, sj/event/dressage, whether hes strong/suitable for novice, where you are, good around children/dogs, whether he can live out or not, height, about jump/paces, what type of home you'd like him to go to, etc. you can include whatever you want and as much or as little as you want.

The advert description has been addressed but consider what photos you want to use. If you use Horsemart you can use 3 photos. Select one of him standing square so his conformation can be seen. If you've advertised saying he jumps i.e. 3'00 course, then have a photo of him jumping 3'00. Some people say this & the picture shows him jumping an 18" cross pole. Forget that he is your horse, put yourself in the position of a buyer & give information & show photos that you would want to see. Good Luck
