My Vote Sovereign No 2 (Trotting) Fearn No 7 (Decapitated rider) Better profile than 8. Based on instructions in H&R  |

I would say take some more - your photos are lovely mementos of the horses, but if I were looking for a horse for sale I wouldn't automatically be drawn to your horses by the photos.
I would get a good, side on photo of each horse standing up properly, with just a bridle/headcollar on, and a nice photo of them doing ridden work - also a good clear jumping pic if they jump well. Sorry to be a bit negative, your pics are lovely but just not what I would personally use if I were selling a horse!

We are waiting for the weather to get a bit better to take better ones, can't really get any of sovereign jumping as his owner doesn't have the confidence to jump  |

I agree with Laura....
Re Sovereign - clean him up, scrub the mud off his hooves and take his boot(s) off. Also - does he need that bit? If he's the horse the ad says he is I'd expect to see him in a plain snaffle.
Re Fern - there are some nice pics, but make sure they're sharp.

He has always been ridden in a gag (even before my friend brought him) although isn't particularly strong

Me personally, I'd ditch the fuzzy photos. Even if it proves she can jump, it doesn't show her in the best light. Bad photos can kill a sale. For myself, I love to see clear photos from the side, and if possible backs and fronts and I prefer to see the horse/pony standing as natural as possible rather than posed. With Sovereign I adore photo 1 as it shows what a good natured boy he is, plus giving the benefit of a side photo au natural. Photo number 2 gives the 'offside'... always a bonus in my books. I aslo love the one of him with his rosie.  Fearn's pics, I love the very first one (fell in love with her from that pic), ....okay I'm naff...I'm totally smitten with Fearn, and I admit it, I love all the pics of her.  |

When I was looking for a horse and showed my instructor pics she ALWAYS checked out what bit the horse was in....and what bit was used when we went to try them. Now it's the first thing I look at....LOL |
