Decided I cant keep dragging it out and ive just gotta do it...So this is my ad:

Excels dressage and in the short space of time competing has won or been placed unaffilated at every Prelim/Novice test, achieving scores of 62-78%. Recently competed first affiliated Prelim coming 2nd with 60.41%. Won and been placed local showing. Has been XC and sponsored rides, jumps all things. 100% to shoe/load/handle, hacks alone and in company - can sometimes get spooky when alone, fine with traffic, really sweet mare. Comes complete with full wardrode of rugs/GFS Saddle/2 bridles and other bits. Sadly selling up due to financial reasons. 5* home required. Please contact for further details.

Right can only have 1 pic so which one (or should i pay and put a few different ones on):

Which site is best to advertise, Horsemart or Horsequest (apart from H&H that is lol

Thanks
 
I would go for either of the two bottom pictures, but I am about as far from being an expert as you can get, so don't take my word for it ! She looks absolutely beautiful, if i had the wherewithal I would buy her in a heartbeat, I really would. How much are you planning to ask for her, if you don't mind my asking?

I would put the big oxer pic, and maybe the dressage pic. Personally prefer Horsequest from a viewing point of view.... Ohh, use the last flatwork pic in your siggy!
 
I think either the first or the last, depending whether you want to put a dressage or SJ emphasis on her....
The second jumping pic is nice, but not that clear. And I think she looks a bit untidy over the XC fence, which doesn't do her justice (Don't hate me for saying that!) And again, the confo shot doesn't do her justice either (ducking before I get hit!

).
 
dont be silly..the XC was her first time so dont deny its a bit pants - want to push her as an allrounder really for a slightly more competent rider. And i know the confo shot was pants - its the only one I have so thought i may aswell show you guys..lol
 
Having to sell isn't great at the best of times, I wouldn't blame you for being sensitive about someone criticisingyour pics of her, which are obviously lovely memories that you have of her.
I hope you find her a wonderful home. X
 
I like the last jumping one (in the field) as she looks nice and sane or the cantering one from your signature. Perhaps you could explain the "spooky when alone" comment - does that mean in the field (forgiveable), hacks or stable (can be less easy to deal with....)

Good thinking - can just be a bit spooky alone hacking on windy days etc

Im not pushing it too hard at the moment, just gonna put an ad on and see what interest i get.
 
If you can only use one - I would go for the cantering pic (last one in your siggy) - she looks fantastic in that one. If you can have two, you should put in the one of you jumping the big oxer (second siggy pic)....

If I were you i wouldn't put 'can be a bit spooky' as it's not a vice... all horses can be a bit spooky unless they are 'bombproof' and as long as you are not putting that in the ad, you are not misleading anyone.... when people call up and want to know more about her you can go into detail i.e. she can get spooky when it's windy etc

It's very sad but i'm sure you'll find her a lovely home with someone who loves her to bits
 
If you're putting an emphasis on dressage I'd go with the last one in your signature. Otherwise I like the bottom one - shows she has a lovely jump.
 
i love the one of her jumping that big oxer, i think it really shows off her talent. The other fences look quite small in comparison.

Personaly i would leave out the bit about her spooking when alone - most horses do that anyways if they are fit like she is.
 
i wouldnt mention the spooky on hacking personally if they are a decent enough rider to want her then they will easily be able to cope with a bit spooky !!!
