How to take a video to help sell your horse

Friday 06 January 2012

A horse is a living, breathing beautiful creature, so make sure you show it off to its best potential for prospective buyers with a video clip when trying to sell your horse.

The ideal horse video composition

Here are our top tips for taking a video that's going to really show off the horse at its best:

Position the horse centrally in the frame - try not to chop off the head or hooves!
If possible film outside on a bright day otherwise it may be very dark when viewed
If you're hand is a bit shaky holding the camera, then consider using a tripod. This will give you a much smoother film, and is ideal for following a horse around a sand school for example
Try to show the horse off from all angles - either move yourself or ask the rider to change direction
Use your horse's technique to its best advantage. If it's a dressage horse then show its paces, if it's a show jumper then get someone to take a video of you jumping it
