Videos may be submitted using Youtube, Vimeo or other video program. Video titles should include the Rider's Name, Level & Test and the show date (i.e. - Jane Doe - USEF Training Level Test 1 - January 2023).

Videos should be taken from the standard judge’s position behind “C" with the camera placed a few feet behind the letter "C." Keep the horse in the last 1/3 of the field of view with the horse's hooves in the bottom 1/3 of the field of view. This allows for more accurate judging. When riding centerlines, keep the horse in the center of the field of view. Arena letters must be visible in the video. These do not need to be professional grade arena letters. You can use milk jugs, cones or buckets labeled accordingly.

Videos should be filmed in landscape and zoom should be used when rider is at the other end of the ring. In the large ring (20m x 60m), zoom should be 3.5-4 typically. In the small ring (20m x 40m), zoom should be 2-2.5 typically. Reduce the zoom when horse crosses over X or when movements are performed at C. For movements performed at C, keep the horse's head/neck connection and feet in the field of view.

Judge reserves the right to decline any video due to poor quality. Please review your video for clarity and appropriate lighting prior to submission. Whenever possible, it is best to provide video with natural lighting. A request for new video footage will be sent to the registrant’s email address provided in the registration below if quality does not suffice for judging.
