Selling a horse can take time, but the more effectively you market your sale horse, the better your chance of finding your horse a new home quickly. These techniques can help you to market your sale horse more effectively.

Take Quality Sale Photos and Videos

Sale photos and videos of your horse are a necessity for marketing him well. If you don’t have good sale photos posted with your horse’s ad, you can be guaranteed that they will be the first thing that any interested buyer asks for. Before you begin marketing your horse, take the time to get quality sale photos and videos. Thanks to the power of DSLR cameras, getting good footage is something just about anyone can do, but if you doubt whether you’ll be able to get great materials, then consider hiring a professional photographer or videographer.

Enter Local Competitions

If you are marketing a show horse, then entering him in local competitions can be a good way to get him noticed and spread the word of his availability for sale. Of course, you want to be sure that the horse is well-prepared for the competitions so that there’s a good chance he will put in a positive performance. In some cases you may be lucky enough to head home from the competition with the phone numbers of interested potential buyers.

Take Advantage of Online Classified Ads

The internet has revolutionized marketing sale horses, and there are countless online classified ad sites which allow you to market your horse for a low cost. Research a few of the top horse classified sites and take a look at the types of horses advertised on them. When you find a site that you think your horse will fit in nicely on, consider taking out an ad.

Use the Power of Facebook

While there are plenty of paid online horse sale classified sites, there’s also Facebook. Countless groups have cropped up over the years which are dedicated solely to advertising – for free – horses for sale. These groups often have a geographic focus, so you can tailor your approach to target horse buyers who are most likely to be interested in your horse, rather than advertising to the entire internet.

The power of social networking is also evident in the number of horse owners who simply post a for-sale ad on their own Facebook wall. If you are well-connected with other horse friends on Facebook, your friends may share your post or tag people who they feel might be interested in your horse. You might be surprised at how powerful a networking and marketing tool Facebook has come to be.

When marketing your horse for sale, the more marketing strategies that you can put to use, the better. Hopefully your horse will sell quickly, freeing up an open horse stall in your barn.
