I've advertised my pony for full loan and have 2 people coming to see her at the weekend.
This probably sounds like a stupid question but when they come what should I show them?! I'm asuming if they like her they'll visit another few times, so what do you expect from first viewing?

Thanks, I dont know whay im so nervous!
 
I'm guessing pretty much the same as if looking to buy.
For me that is one visit and I would expect to see the horse in the stable and watch it being tacked up, see it ridden at the level it is advertised at (ie, if sold as competed novice dressage or gone clear at discovery I would expect to see some evidence of this work) unless it is out of work. Then I would expect to ride, perhaps a v short hack if this is relevent. Then untacked, see what the horse is like to deal with on the ground. If the horse lives out then I would expect to catch in from the field. I think usually you would see the horse in the stable as if people know you are coming to view the horse will often be in and tarted up first!
If you are unsure then you could always call those coming and ask if there is anything particular they would like to see/do then you can set the day up?
