Video hints and tips

You will need a friend or colleague to help film your test. Ask them to follow these basic instructions to ensure your test can be judged online.

Film from behind the judge's position at the C marker, outside the school or arena.
If it's a sunny day, try to ensure the sun is behind the camera.
Start filming a short time before the rider enters at A.
Keep the horse and rider in the centre of the frame.
Avoid excessive zooming in and out - the judge will need to see the part of the arena the competitor is in and the whole horse and rider clearly.
Some zooming is acceptable providing the horse and rider and arena can be seen clearly.
If you can, mount the camera on a tripod to keep the equipment steady.
Sound must be turned on.
