#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well, first off, the market for horses is just starting to pick up (spring), so you may get some more action soon.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#But, the ad is very NEGATIVE! Don't point out all his faults, build up what he is good at NOW, don't worry about what he CAN'T do now. Don't state he's under priced, you could say something like..."a steal at $3000".#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#When the people come to look at him, and ask questions, or point something out, then you cam comment, nut to put all that "negative" stuff in an ad is justing asking people to over look him. This is what I'd say.....#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#13 year old TB perfect for intermediate or higher rider. Great dressage, hunter/jumper or eventing horse. Willing to please, and very athletic. ready to do training level dressage, and low level hunters. Very fluid gaits, quiet, sensible and doesn't spook. Sadly for sale, a STEAL at $3000.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Then when you get the REAL interest in him, you can talk about his cribbing, and what he needs to work on. But, if you state 95% of your ad negative, then yeah, I'd pass it up as well.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Hope this helps a bit, and like I say as the weather warms up, more people are going to be looking for horses.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
