| If the stallion is unproven, yes I would like current pictures.
If the stallion is Judge Cash who is 27 yrs old, I don't care what he looks like now, I am still happy he is alive and breeding |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | If the stallion is aged, I don't want to see pictures from when he was a 2 or 3yo. If he is a mature adult in the pictures, I don't care if they are several years old. If he is OLD, pictures from when he was younger are OK. (Meaning when he was in his prime, not a "colt".)
The MAIN thing is I want NO PHOTOSHOP! I want to see what he REALLY looks like, not the skills the photographer has using photoshop.

Location: Oklahoma | I agree with what you are all saying. I've seen some of stallions that are the same photoshopped photo year after year and by now they've got to be 6-7 year old photos. |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | Yep. I HATE looking at 78978459 stallion pictures that ALL LOOK THE SAME other than the color and markings. Then you see a video (or see him in person.) and he looks NOTHING like the picture. That's why I am such a fan of candid pictures. (Not on a stallion ad, but on a website or FB page.) |

Location: Oklahoma | I agree about facebook pictures. I have a younger stallion and I haven't really offered him publically yet other than through word of mouth. I have zero problem sending people pictures of him just turned out. I'm too computer stupid to figure photo shop out... so my pictures are "what you see is what you get" |

Thank you! I'm afraid if I photoshopped him it would ruin his "look" |

I'd like to see a pic that they made happen. I hate the Stallion tied to a trailer or such. If they can't take the time to take a good pic, I won't bother to use them. |

| I agree that the age at which the pictures were taken determines whether pictures should be current or not. And I think it would be in the owner's best interest to get a professional to take the pictures, and I'm talking about a professional horse photographer. They just seem to have a knack for getting the right angles and making the horse look its best. |

And going crazy with photoshop! LOL I would tell them I want the "straight from the camera" pics. Not "post photoshop".

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I want to see pictures of a stallion in his prime. Stallions age and break down due to injury related problems (track/barrels) so when I am stallion shopping I don't want to see a picture of a stallion 18yrs old, sway backed and bow legged from a bad knee from 15yrs previous. I want to see one 3-8 (showing maturity) and looking like a fine piece of horse flesh. |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | BUT if they still look like a million bucks at 18yo, I like to see that!! (Not disagreeing with you, just making a statement.) I would prefer them to be 8+ yo in the picture if they are aged. They can look a LOT different at say 8yo than they did as a 3 or 4yo. And it SHOULD be for the better! |

If they are aging well, then yes seeing older guys is good. FG is one. That boy looks nice in his old age. Panther Mountain was one I just couldn't get enough of in his photos from the 1st year standing. He was in race shape and HOT!! Then as he aged, he just lacked something. Can't quite put my finger on it though. (maybe a good photoshop lol) |

| I hate it when I see yearling and 2yr old pics....
And ones that are photoshopped.. I've seen some that their leg markIngs are on opposite legs in candid photos than in the photoshopped ones |

Location: Oklahoma | This is all very informative. I personally like to see a good conformation shot (not photo shopped) as well as a movement shot or a video showing how the horse carries himself. |

Location: Planet Earth.... | I like to see a "job" picture as well. Unless they've been hurt and can't compete. If they are ride able, they should have a job. I don't care if it's a horse racing pic, barrel racing pic, roping, etc. While talking barrel racing pic, I hate seeing a stallion photo with them going around a plastic barrel. bleh |
