Great post. Marketing and selling horses in the current economy is not a simple task. I have a couple of comments to add:

Under point #2, please change ‘confirmation’ to ‘conformation’. This is a common mistake found in many ads that should be avoided.

When taking photographs outdoors, the photographer’s shadow should not be cast onto the horse. The handler should be cropped out of photos especially if inappropriately attired.

The list could go on, but you have covered the basics well.

Thank you so much for your comment, I updated the list to reflect the this information.

If you know of any other sites for European or UK horse people, please let me know. Plenty of people there need to sell a horse too. 🙂

Nice article. Times are certainly tough and I’ve been seeing that with a lot of sellers recently. A couple notes about the websites you listed to use. Your users shouldn’t worry too much about oodle, that’ll come automatically for you when you create an ad with the others on the list.

Others on your list are really duplicates. The AQHA and USHJA are really just affiliates of equine.com and are the same site. For those who aren’t going to be selling their horses in Europe, horseforsale.co.uk isn’t needed. You should also add Equinehits.com and perhaps agdirect.com to your list.
