Show ring videos and photos receive the best results.
Professionally shot videos and photos receive better results. We strongly encourage Sellers make use of professional photographers and videographers at horse shows.
Please take care to present the best impression in terms of horse and rider turnout if submitting schooling video. We encourage boots and breeches, collared shirt (i.e.: polo) or sweater of solid and conservative color, and neatly adjusted hair with an approved helmet of show quality. The horse should be dressed in the necessary equipment with conservative colored wraps and pads, if not traditional leather boots and a shaped pad. In short, dress in a manner that ensures the quality of the horse is the most apparent aspect of the video.
Listings with multiple quality photos receive greater attention than those with only one picture. Please send any photos you feel may advertise your horse well, we will carefully choose those we believe showcase him best, and will return all photos.
Your horse’s picture is the first thing a buyer evaluates, and his sole representation in print advertising. Each horse should have at least one quality, high resolution photo for this purpose. Pictures pulled from videos do not produce well in print and are not suitable. The same holds true for pictures pulled from the Internet.
Whenever possible pictures over fences should be submitted. Good flat shots (usually of the trot) and quality conformation shots are most beneficial when submitted with a quality jumping photo.
To ensure quality of photos is preserved we recommend mailing them with your video so we may scan them into our system. We return all media.
We are happy to transfer your VHS tapes to DVD but note VHS degrades rapidly with every transfer, including conversion to digital. If digital video is not available please submit first generation VHS tapes to ensure the best quality.
