Which one of these horses would catch your eye the most?

Question

Basically we're running a livery yard and want to do up advertisements for it - obviously we'd get a professional photographer in to take the pictures - but which horse do you think is worth of the cover so to speak?

Shadow:

Answer 1

Saracen or Coco they are both very striking and pretty. Shadow is too but Saracen and Coco are more "photo material"!

Good Luck with everything,

Answer 2

Saracen! It would look really professional with Saracen I think.  

Answer 3

Saracen would be a great cover shot. It shows that your horses can and do compete. He looks very happy and it's the quintessential show shot.

Coco would be a good picture if you couldn't use Saracen's for some reason. Coco's picture is a happy horse just chilling out in the yard.

I wouldn't use Shadow's because of the awkward angle. Because the picture's taken of him standing downhill, it makes it look like his body's non-existant and he's just a reallly long neck.

Answer 4

Its between Shadow and Coco.

Im not sure which horse, but both are so cute!

=]

Answer 5

Coco shes so cute and she looks a bit like my horse sunny  

Answer 6

Well Shadows cute

but Im assuming Saracen is a Fresian, and you can always doll them up to look impressive and catch everyone's eye..

Answer 7

Coco definitely! Gorgeous

Answer 8

Tough call.  Saracen looks the best but it might be a bit unfair on Coco and Shadow coz he's had his hair done and everything!  However the ears look great so I think it's Saracen that's got the X Factor!

Answer 9

i think you should go for all three, shadow and coco dont have their manes done up, but Saracen has a real presence about him.

Answer 10

Saracen! gorgeous horse!

Answer 11

Saracen.  Love the plaiting of his mane.

Answer 12

I had trouble choosing between Shadow and Coco. But  though Coco seemed to have adittude and style some thing caught my eye about Shadow. I also asked anouther person in my house hold and they chooes Shadow. Hope this helps! ^.^  

Answer 13

Saracen

Answer 14

Id have to go with coco she looks very calm in her surroundings and has a realy random look on her face as if to say mummy is that you and what are you doing ? Oh right your taking a photo of me i could just imagine her saying that the oher 2 look great but shadow looks too babyish and plain and sacren looks too made up for the photo i like cocos shot caue its accsual its so adorable xxxxxx

Answer 15

All three are amazing ( I love how the ears are forward on all of them)

But I would have to say Saracen. All in All, he looks much more pro than the other 2, but like i said, all of them are gorgeous!

Answer 16

Saracen

Answer 17

Saracen, DEFINATELY

That horse is absolutely gorgeous! You know what would be a cool shot? A pic of him galloping through a nice pasture with no halter or anything on, that would be gorgeous! I absolutely love this horse, I'd say use him :]

Answer 18

Ooh I love Coco - his facial markings do it for me!

Would love to see the finished product - please do post it for us to see!

Answer 19

saracent has more of a profession look, which will work well with your professional photographer!  do you have any arabx's?! they are always stunning in pics

Answer 20

i deffinitely like Saracen the best.

He is built nice and seems like he has a good personality.

Answer 21

I like all three of them, really. Shadow's adorable, Coco is so cute, but I really like Saracen. But, I'm sure all of them clean up nicely. Maybe groom them while you're taking some shots and then look at the professional pictures and see which one you like best. I wouldn't necessarily pick one particular horse to do cover shots, ya know? Because if you get a couple of shots of each horse, you can choose which one looks nicest. But, I dunno. Just do whatever you think would look best.

Answer 22

Saracen the other two look the same...

BTW Saracen is a nice horse

Answer 23

Saracen. EVERYONE has bay or brown horses at shows. PLEASE SHOW THE 1THAT STICKS OUT AND ID BLACK. I think if you showed the other two, then they wouldn't stick out. And Saracen is VERY beautiful and VERY well groomed. and i looked at his other pics and he has a beautiful tail very good conformation. HE IS a born show horse. And his head set is awesome. If you could e mail me how you got him to keep it that would be awesome.

Answer 24

I definatly think Saracen has a comanding presence about him, he demands attention. He sure did make me look twice at him!

A beautiful example of a healthy happy horse, and he looks to have a great relationship with you (or whoevers riding him in the pictures).

Answer 25

They're all gorgeous, but I think Saracen is the handsomest.

:)

Answer 26

If you are getting a pro. photographer then I'd go with shadow.. he is adorable. But if it were between these pictures Saracen.

Answer 27

shadow but saracen also stands out.saracen looks groomed better

Answer 28

We like the first 2 to.  THey look 1/2 Clydesdale

We love saracen.  He looks 1/2 Percheron

The 3rd though is the best eye catcher.

xxoo bunnie and mandy

best friends forver

Answer 29

I would have to say Saracen; he's a beautiful horse with a strong name that appears to fit him--

Answer 30

I think Coco defintely has the cutest face - she just needs to be cleaned up a little, and get some better pics :)

Shadow is also super cute, but his face is more common.

Saracen is gorgeous, but doesn't have that "jump out and grab you" look to him. The unique markings make a horse stand out.

That being said, it's hard to pick a horse without seeing pics of their whole bodies. Are any of them more conformationally correct than the others, or maybe have white socks? Maybe one is super shiny, or has a gorgeous full tail? Fat and muscular vs lean and less flashy? I would make your decision based on the whole picture, not just these headshots.
