Buying and Selling a Horse

Featured Video: Photoshop Tricks

Maybe he’s born with it. Maybe it’s Photoshop.



This video, created by the South American magazine southarabians.com, shows how it only takes a few minutes and a working knowledge of photo-editing software to make a deceptive stallion ad. The same techniques used to make models look unrealistically perfect for the pages of beauty magazines can also make your Arabian look more refined or your Quarter Horse look beefier. You can even smooth out some conformation faults.



The takeaway? When buying or breeding a horse, it’s a good idea to go see it in person first.
