There are also simple, intuitive video editing apps you can use.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, try to catch people\u2019s attention with a short video of no more than 60 seconds (film your horse trotting and galloping freely, then harnessed or saddled). Avoid long texts at the beginning of the video and resist using every transition frame available in the editing app!<\/p>\n<p>You can also make a longer video (max. 5 minutes) to be provided upon request.

The ground should be level and clean.<\/p><br \/><p>The day of the photo session, clean and groom your horse, and brush out its mane and tail. Use a nice clean halter or a shiny leather bridle.<\/p><br \/><p><strong>Looking for a photographer near you?<\/strong> Check out our list of partners who often generously provide us with beautiful photos for our website and magazine.<\/p><br \/><p>Be aware that most buyers will want to see a video of your horse before travelling to see it. Be prepared! A cell phone video will do the job. There are also simple, intuitive video editing apps you can use.<\/p><br \/><p>Ideally, try to catch people\u2019s attention with a short video of no more than 60 seconds (film your horse trotting and galloping freely, then harnessed or saddled). Avoid long texts at the beginning of the video and resist using every transition frame available in the editing app!<\/p><br \/><p>You can also make a longer video (max. 5 minutes) to be provided upon request. This one can showcase more things about your horse \u2013 show yourself brushing it, picking its feet up, leading it in a straight line to show its conformation, saddling it, etc...)<\/p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=\"R\u00e9digez un contrat de vente\" admin_label=\"R\u00e9digez un contrat de vente\" _builder_version=\"4.10.7\" _module_preset=\"default\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]<p>It\u2019s important to sign a sales contract for every transaction.
