Where is best to advertise??

[nic85]

My friend is thinking of selling her daughters horse as hes not being used to his full potential.

Where is best to advertise and how does this sound for a brief ad??

Approx 15hh 13 year old(approx) bay gelding

Has competed in unaffiliated showjumping, schools nicely but can be lazy. Thrives with work! Need PC/RC home where he can be used to his full potential as is very much wasted at present
good to shoe,clip, box

£xxxxx

How does that sound? I know its brief but as advertising is not allowed on here i wanted it to be brief

Thanks!!

I'd try advertising through the local PC and local tack shops. I'd also ask farrier, there's bound to be lots of leggy 10 year olds wanting to move up.

I'd try the Pony Club website as I know someone who sold theirs within a week on there. I've had a horse on Horsemart since mid June & only had 3 calls despite a fairly competitive price.

Owner doesn't really want to sell him too locally as she doesn't want to see him at shows close by.. shed be sad as shell miss him ( I know shes a drip!! lol)

He can be a bit quirky so it would need to be a small adult, larger child, he is too much for her slight 12 year old daughter ( as in can be strong when jumping, especially as the jumps get bigger) Hes also hard to bit as he loves his french link hanging cheek but its not enough for 12 yr old to hold him in when jumping, but any other bit (read that as in stronger) he doesn't like, so it needs to be a fairly competitive kid who can and will ride him in his hanging cheek. I cna hold him in it jumping and schooling but then im alot bigger than the 12yro jockey!!

Are there PC/RC kids out there that are fairly capable and like a quirky ride??
