Back to topYes. You can create your listing and either Save for Later or Confirm & Finish your listing. If you choose to confirm & finish, we can load a temporary photograph for you, which can be replaced with a photo of your horse when it is available.
Back to topDigital photos taken by a professional are worth the cost and Gavelhouse highly recommend you engage a professional photographer. A quality digital photo of your horse will optimise your listing for the best results. If you are unable to use a professional photographer, a minimum 2 mega pixel camera set at the highest quality would be preferred (See below for more information). Your photo should: * be in landscape orientation * 640 x 480 pixels * have a neutral background, on green grass * fill the frame so you can see the entire horse * ensure your horse is groomed prior to being photographed
Back to topPhotos need to be a certain size before loading into your listing. The ideal size is 640 x 480 pixels, the minimum size is 520 x 390 pixels. If your photograph is a very large file (2000 pixels and above), you may experience some delay in the loading process. We recommend you either resize your photo before you upload it or email it to us (info@gavelhouse.com) so we can resize and load it into your listing.
