Advise on placing adverts, taking photos and wording adverts. As the saying says "a picture tells a thousand words" and this is definitely the case when you are looking to sell your horse. By using a photograph with your ad you'll be able to show potential buyers straight away what the horse looks like. Here are our top tips for taking a photograph that's going to really show off the horse at its best:

Use a plain background - if the background is too distracting the horse won't stand out as much.
Use a digital camera - photos can be scanned and used, but a digital photo will be clearer and sharper. Position the horse centrally
Put the horse in the middle of the viewfinder so you don't cut off its ears, tail of even whole head!
Lighting - if possible take the photos on a bright or sunny day. If it's too dark or cloudy the picture won't look as good.
Angles - if you're only using one photo then take the photo side-on. If you can use more than one then take another from the other side, plus a close-up of the head. NB. You can use a maximum of six photos on Right Equine 
Use your horse's technique to best advantage. If it's a dressage horse then show its paces, if it's a show jumper then get someone to take a photo of you jumping..
Also it is important to show a picute of your horses confirmation Naked!- Make sure the horse doesn't have any tack or boots on.  Ensure you include all the information about your horse Name is always work including as it familiarises the potential viewers with your horse.  Indude Behaviour details, capabilities, details of winning and affliated winnings and points and the level at which the horse is currnetly competing at if appropriate.  Also include details of the trial facilities and your reason for selling.
