Hi All,

As mentioned on a previous post, I'm looking at putting my boy out on loan - initially for a year but possibly for longer. If anyone could look at my ad below and let me know what they think I'd be very grateful. Its been difficult writing it as he's 98% brilliant but just has a couple of little quirks - think tis the welsh in him! They are not bad or difficult quirks but I wanted to flag them up and be honest - I also don't want peeps to think he's a nutter imagining there's more to it than what I've written - aghhh. Anyway, any advice will be very gratefully received!!!


For Loan (approx 1 year)
15hh, 10yr old, Chestnut Welsh Cob Gelding. Very handsome boy with good paces. Good to hack alone, in company and good in traffic. Suitable for all RC activities, fun rides etc and has a lovely temperament. Ideal mother/daughter share, a really easy horse to ride and handle from the ground. I don’t really jump so haven’t done much with him in this area but he will pop a pole and logs out hacking – would easily do more. Good to catch though sometimes requires a polo! Good to box in a trailer but will take 10-15mins to load in horsebox as not used to them. Good to shoe – currently only shod in front as has very good feet. Can be a little ‘snatchy’ if being shod behind but a scoop of nuts normally keeps him happy – he is quite food oriented! Would live in or out – currently in at night in the winter and good to clip, pull mane etc. Very good doer so need to watch the waistline in summer! Vaccinations, teeth, worming etc all up to date and he is freezemarked. Not suitable for total novice as can be a bit spooky but anyone competent in walk, trot and canter would manage him perfectly.


Thanks

I'd keep the advert simple, for an ad you kinda go into stuff that you can talk about over the phone or when you meet them in person, some people can't bothered reading really long ads, speically if its one your sticking up on notice boards etc

Saying approx. 1 year, this may put people off because they may think less than a year because you have not stated exactly how long, so I'd just say a year, then you can talk/arrange if you want to extend the loan for longer.

Apart from that I think it pretty much covers the basics :)
 
Sounds great to me, very honest and has all the important bits in it. Sounds exactly like what i need!

I wouldn't put 'not suitable for a novice' as he sounds like he is suitable for a competent novice, just not someone just off lead rein and that would put me off if i was going to ring up.
