Some adverts make you wonder...

Dunno what you mean TBH.

Can't really see all that much wrong. Yes, not the BEST advert and picture, but I've definitely MUCH seen worse. What made you pick this one in particular?
 
I haven't seen the advert as link won't work and usure whethere you can get coloured's but he could of done 4yo BE classes last year and now BE100/N etc this year and won, could of done BSJA classes.Also novice level dressage isn't exactly hard. I don't understnad what you are trying to say
 
I think the horse seems to have done alot for its age TBH. It was out competing regularlly as a four year old doing indoor jumping (or the advert makes it sound that way).

Also says he is KWPN, fair enough but no indication of his breeding + he's a bit on the small side? (although i am definitly no expert on breeds!!)

Also his price seems a bit high for the moment.

I dunno, i think it seems like they are trying to make him out to have done more than he has. The wording is strange, his breed is listed under the contact address... The whole advert made me want to stay away.
 
Fiar enough the picture doesnt do the horse justice, but dont see a problem with what they have done. My horse was 4 and competing at Novice level in his first season out, and at 5 if he has the scope to jump thats fine. Doesnt look the height it states though - again, wonder if the wrong picture is with the ad. If it was the ad alone without a picture and I was looking, I would be tempted to call it!
 
First one on the page.. the kwpn coloured gelding.

Firstly can you get coloured kwpn's? Yes...

5yo and has won his first show jumping and eventing? With a good rider possably even fairly easily...

Novice level dressage this summer?as you'd hope from a 5YO...

Not great picture to be fair...
 
I know the owner and horse and it hasn't been hammered by any means - just done the odd show, dressage over the summer etc. Its a lovely horse and ok the picture isn't great but I've seen far worse.
 
I actually read the advert as it saying the horse had done Novice dressage <u>AND</u> won (at) its first show. The "show" being a showing class, rather than it meaning the horse had won its first Novice dressage. I tend view dressage as a 'competition', 'class' or 'test' rather than a 'show'.

Maybe that's just me, but I guess it depends on how you interpret wording. Goes to show you have to be really CLEAR when laying something out or a dumo like me is bound to read-it-wrong
