her horse on several sites and only had 1 phonecall?we are really confused by this as he is an amazing little horse and is very reasonably priced considering what he has done!Any ideas on the best sites to advertise?She cant really afford HHO,and the fact she has had no interest is putting her off shelling out that amount of money on an advert!
 
IMHO it would depend on what she is advertising, where they are and what sort of home they are looking for.

If you give us a little bit more info someone may be able to help to put them in the right direction.
 
Unfortunately there are a lot of good horses out there.So her advert really needs to stand out from the rest.I think I woul be tempted to put an advert on HH. Presume you have used horsequest/deals/mart. If it hunts/pony club maybe their newsletters,tack shop.
 
If he's out competing how about over the loudspeaker when he's in the ring? Or a decent local tack shop - one near me has some cracking horses advertised and a friend had more calls from there than any of the websites.
 
Not really sure tbh guys...all input greatly appreciated though!
He is 16hh Tb,BE to novice...Hunted...showjumped discovery...Dressage...qualified ROR Hickstead 2010(she couldnt take him due to uni commitments) hacks alone and in company...can take him to a show and he will stand tied to trailer all day long,a perfect gent to do in every way,hacks alone and in company,good in traffic etc etc!
He is up for £6.5k atm...originally up for £7.5k but dropped price thinking he may be overpriced...i dont think so :)

He isnt competing atm due to her being at uni,(he is in work but not comp fit)and sadly we live in Scunthorpe which isnt the best place on the planet to sell a horse locally:D Thanx though
 
Maybe he should be pitched at the competitive junior market - many RCs and PCs have free advertising and he could be exactly what someone there is looking for? They usually make good money too if they can be competitive in a number of disciplines and have a decent track record.

That could be a good option tbh,Thanx Cazzah...he would certainly suit a competitive teenager/mum partnership:)
