Consignors Responsibilities

 

To ensure your horse is presented at its best and attracts potential buyers, follow these guidelines for photography, videography, and footnotes:

 

Professional Photographs

​

You need high-quality images from a professional equine photographer. At a minimum, provide the following views: 

 

Mane Side Profile 

Off-Mane Side Profile

Front View (to show conformation of front legs)

Hind View (to clearly show hind legs)

​

Ensure at least one photo is taken within 30 days of the sale. If you're using older professional photos, include a note indicating the date of the profile photo.

 

Videos

​

Videos should highlight the horse's best qualities. For riding horses, showcase their abilities. For younger horses, videos of them moving or walking are acceptable.

Quality Tips: You don't need expensive equipment. A smartphone with basic editing software can suffice. Capture exciting moments early in the video, as buyers typically only watch the first few seconds before deciding.

 

Additional Important Information

​

Brief History:

Write footnotes that summarize the horse's history, highlighting unique traits, pedigree, training, and achievements.

 

Disclose Defects:

Be transparent about any vices, defects, or soundness issues. Buyers appreciate knowing about these beforehand.

 

Accurate Height:

Measure the horse's height at the wither with a measuring stick. Misrepresentation can lead to returns.

 

Veterinary Exam:

Ensure a licensed vet conducts an exam and that a current Coggins test is completed within six months of the sale. Submit the vet form by the specified deadline.
 

Following these guidelines will help build buyer confidence and potentially increase your horse's sale price.

​
