I don't need to be told the that horse is "stunning" "gorgeous" "amazing" "typy" "exotic" "extreme" all in the same sentence!
Ha Ha......it's so ridiculous!
1. PICTURE/PICTURES......current.
Show me some good ones......not pro photos......but good pictures. Pictures are worth a zillion words. I am throughly convinced that most people don't have a clue what a good picture is. If someone starts with the "AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, AWESOME, BLA, BLA, BLA" it just makes me laugh. I am perfectly capable of knowing if a horse is amazing or not. Then, worst of all, I look at the horse that they are using all those "descriptive" words for and my jaw falls to my feet. Better to just let people make up their own mind.
I am truly amazed by the constant use of terrible photos with the horses face in the grass, a filthy ungroomed animal, or one running across the back forty. (a running blob as Liz put it...LOL) You always have to ask yourself the question "Would I buy that horse from that picture?"
2. Give me the PRICE.
3. Give me a SHORT, simple description on pedigree and what nots, (height, registration where you live, etc
Then I will call or email for more information.........and if you have a horse for sale DON'T tell me that you can't email me more photos or photos of the parents or photos of past foals if it is a mare, or photos of a horse driving if that is what you claim it to be. In other words....show me what you are advertising.
If you are selling the BE PREPARED to sell. To many horses out there for sale to play stupid games. I can't tell you how many times I have asked about a horse and they tell me they will take more pictures NEXT SPRING!
Don't even get me started.
OH!
