DC Howdy Perks, “Ned”

Watch his video: https://youtu.be/KJX8IE2e8RQ?feature=shared

Ned is a 6-year-old, 15.2-hand AQHA gelding with real ranch experience and the kind of miles that cannot be manufactured in an arena.

Raised outside in Idaho, he has been ridden extensively in rough country gathering and herding cattle. He has also been packed, led pack strings, sorted cattle, and is started on the barrel and pole patterns.

Ned is described as kind, quiet and sure-footed, with enough motor to cover country. He crosses creeks, bogs and logs, and handles steep terrain comfortably.

✔ Ranch raised and ranch used
✔ Gathered and sorted cattle
✔ Packed and led pack strings
✔ Started on barrels and poles
✔ Good to catch, shoe and load
✔ Sound with good feet and bone
✔ Sun Frost on his papers

A strong horse listing should make it easy for a serious buyer to decide whether the horse may fit.

Before reaching out, buyers usually want to know:

• What is the horse trained to do?
• Who is the horse best suited for?
• Where is the horse located?
• What is the asking price?
• Are the photos and videos current?
• Are there any important limitations or considerations?

When those details are missing, buyers either spend time asking basic questions or move on to another listing.

A good listing does not need to be long. It needs to be clear, current, and honest.

The easier you make it for buyers to understand the horse, the easier it is for the right buyer to take the next step.

Buyers Notice What Sellers Leave Out

A good horse can still lose attention when the listing leaves basic questions unanswered.

Buyers are looking for clear information:

• Price
• Location
• Current photos
• Useful video
• Suitability
• An honest description

Serious buyers compare listings quickly. Missing details create hesitation and make it easier to move on to the next horse.

The goal is not to say more. It is to make the right information easy to find.
