Ride and film your test
Make sure the person filming stands at C, where the judge would usually be.
Filming tips
- Start filming shortly before the rider enters at A.
- If using a phone or tablet, hold it in a landscape orientation to make sure the judge will be able to see the horse and rider clearly.
- Apply a little bit of zoom when the horse and rider is at the far end of the arena.
- Stop filming once the rider moves off from the final halt.

Upload from the Entries Page direct to the Dressage Anywhere website. You can set your privacy settings here and choose whether your video is visible on the scoreboard or not.
