There are free classified ads on the home page if that helps? ;-)

What kind of Pasos do you have for sale?
Trail or Show? It might help to know your target audience.

I am in the market for a good trail horse. :cooldude Anyway, I would move the hubby before I move my babies. ;-)

Woo Hoo! I believe bailey is starting to get serious about Paso shopping by her posts lately. :D

I have my farm advertised and mention thr babies for sale.


They are all show quality, but would be good for trail too. All raised in the wooded hills of West Virginia so they are already practally trail broke. They are all very nice babies.

Working on it. :lol:

The $50 ads - with a picture included - in the back of PFHW have apparently been pretty successful for some people.

right now I am not wanting to spend a lot of money on advertising, I am planning on taking them to Lexington and Asheville and showing them in bella forma. Hopefully getting them out and seen will help. I was having pretty good luck with the classified ads on the internet, I sold all the mature horses that I had for sale, but I am not really getting that many hits on the babies....except for the window shoppers that want you to email them numerous pics of everything on your farm and then do not even have the courtsey to email you back and let you know that they got your pics. (that makes me crazy!)

Right now I have them priced from $2500 to $3500, (which I think is underpriced but with no customer base I guess I have to start somewhere, the people up here thing $1000 is a high priced horse.)

personally me too but right now if I get rid of him I'd have to get rid of all the horses too, so I have to choose the lesser of the 2 evils :razz:

I have a couple nice trail horses just waiting for the right person to take them home. :lol:

Babies & yearlings can sure be hard to sell... Seems like everyone wants a broke horse ready to go.

All I can tell you, is it sure is different from the Quarter Horse Business.
I sold every foal I could produce...often with a waiting list...not so in Paso Finos, unfortunately.... ;-)

I use horsetopia.com dreamhorse.com agdirect.com equine.com and advertise in "Today's Horse Trader", Maverick Press, and Rocky Mountain Horse Connection.... local horse publications.
