Hey y'all!
I'm trying to sell my horse, Mona and I've had her on the market for a while - not a horrible long time, a bit over a month and all I have gotten was one phone call and she just called asked her age and if she was a gelding or mare and never called me back.
What I don't understand is Mona is a very nice horse. Shes bred nice (by Mattie's Tavern), never raced. Shes a nice big horse (16.3) has been a 4-h/pony club horse and even showed the A/AA circuit in childrens hunter/eq.
I think I was offering a very competitive price at $3500, and now have lowered it to $2000, because she has to be gone by mid-june so I can bring in my equitation horse.
I've advertised her at Equinehits.com, equine.com, I think dreamhorse.com. I have a video on youtube. I have even advertised locally, at the shops in town and even traveled to the closest city to post some ads.
She sounds like a nice horse. Seems that you should be looking at the way you word your ads. Maybe there is something in the ad, or not in the ad that is causing such a small response.
Placing several ads in the same papers also gets you more exsposure. make sure your ads are different in content.
Try national advertising too. The nifty nickel is where my family turns when they need a good horse, or boat, or whatever.
Hope I gave you somethings to consider. If you need anything else, please ask!
