You will need a friend or colleague to film your test for you. Ask them to follow these instructions to ensure your test can be judged online. For an example video see our YouTube page.
Filming position
- Film from behind the judge's position at the C marker, outside the arena
- If it's a sunny day, try to ensure the sun is behind the camera
- If you can, mount the camera on a tripod to keep it steady.
Technique
- Start filming a short time before the rider enters at A, e.g. as the rider passes the E or B marker
- Keep the horse and rider in the centre of the frame
- Complete filming as the rider leaves the arena at free walk on a long rein.
Zooming
- We require some zooming to be able to see the horse and rider clearly at the end of the arena, but avoid excessive zooming in and out - the judge will need to see the movements of horse and rider clearly
- Sound must be recorded.
