We also continue to deliver the rolling programme of video competition.

Things to think about when filming your Virtual Dressage entry

Where possible avoid anything that provides personal or identifying information in the background or setting where the video is being filmed.
Ensure that you only have the horse and rider combination in the film that you are recording.
Do not share the video content with anyone else.
Please make sure you use your own device to record where possible.
Check the rules for correct competition clothing and tack.
Avoid filming into direct sunlight.
Think about the time of day that you record your video, low setting sun, mist etc can all have an effect on the quality of the video.
If your horse is dark in colour think about the background of your video. If your arena is surrounded by dark hedges your horse may blend in with the background.
The filmer must stand at C.
The filmer needs to always keep you in the centre of the screen, following you around the arena and zooming in where necessary.
Videos must be filmed in landscape (turn the phone on its side)
Can you see all the letters around your arena and is it the correct size (20x40m)
All videos must be started by filming the days newspaper that you are recording on
All videos must clearly state the riders name, horse name and which test they are riding
Videos can only be submitted via Youtube.
