Please could you kind people have a look at attached photos and give your opinions as to whether they are good enough to use in adverts.
These are not my horses, took pic for YO so wanted to get some feedback before passed them on to her.

Thanks

honestly? no, not really... they all have busy backgrounds and all ponies need a good brush and trim up for photos (to be really brutal also a bit of feed for the older ones unless selling very cheaply)

for the yearling I'd want to see it turned out a bit better, so well groomed or bathed (with the weather being nice), nice shiney white socks, clean feet, and a nice headcollar,
The poses of it stood correctly are nice but you might want to be a little more square onto him (like the one when he's facing the left) but make sure you've got all of his legs in!

Also if the YO can - stand him up on a really plain background - lawn is good if there's some (without a house/stables in) or if not chose the niceset looking place of the yard to take it and make sure he's not got a hanging basked coming out of his ears or anything!

For the foaly, the one with the dam is nice - could you get it with the sun on his back rather than taking the photo into the sun? - it'd probably show him off a bit better.

Hope this helps

Sure, a bit of a brush always helps but I wanted to say that I did not think the yearling was too thin. He looks in fine condition to me. I prefer to see a young horse which is well grown, but showing a little bit of rib. I agree about the back ground of the pictures being a bit busy, but if these are the only photos you have then I think the one of the yearling standing (lower row) is fine, and any of the foal photos.

thanks everyone for comments, will take on board about busy background, trouble is the yard is a working farm so difficult to find an empty space but will have a go.


Fenton - welcome to the forum
