Q. What should I wear in my video?
A: Some members choose to wear the same attire that they would at a live horse show, but it is not required at HorseShow.com.

A: If there are any restrictions on the type of tack or equipment that can be used it will be specified at the top of the class description on the class page.

A: Yes. Members can choose to attire their horse in whatever way they feel is most appropriate, keeping in mind that they will want to present their horse in a way that the judge can clearly see the performance and compare it to the other entries.
Q. Can my video have edits?
A: Some classes will allow a video to be a compilation of several pieces, but all classes require that video footage is from the same performance. Otherwise the judge would need to disqualify the entry. Each class page has a description of the class requirements and specifies whether edits are allowed.
Q. I tried to upload a video and nothing happened - what do I do?
A: Some video files are quite large and, depending on the file format, can take almost 20 minutes to upload! If a member leaves the upload page before a video completely uploads, the process will stop. Members should not leave the upload page until a pop-up box appears telling them the upload was successful.
