standing up correct and balanced. For videos, I just try to get them moving comfortably in a round pen. If they have a
big stop or a move across, I try to showcase that athleticism. Ideally, you want them not on a lunge line and just moving
freely to showcase their ability."
"I can't stress enough to anybody, good professional pictures are crucial to selling even a well-fitted horse. Your
horse could look fantastic in person, but if they're just tied to a trailer and you take an iPhone picture, you're really not
showcasing them to their potential. I see a lot of people will hire a professional photographer, but maybe not one who
specializes in horses and they just aren't set up correctly and it isn't giving that 'wow' factor. I think hiring an experienced
equine photographer, maybe even one that specializes in stallion or sale photos can set the photo up where the horse
is looking their absolute best, you can see all the legs and they're balanced is really important," Fantaskey explains.
