๐Virtual horse shows have exploded in popularity over the last decade, giving equestrians around the world a chance to compete without leaving their own farm!! ๐
WHO IS THIS FOR?? โก๏ธ YOU!!
โก๏ธ From casual enthusiasts to seasoned riders, thousands participate globally in online competitions every month. Busy work schedules, weather, location, health limitations, or even skill level are no longer barriers. Virtual competitions are designed so ANYONE can participate, making the horse world more welcoming than ever before. At any given time, there are dozensโif not hundredsโof virtual shows running, including breed-specific, all-level, and open-entry events.
ACCESSIBILITY
โก๏ธ One of the biggest advantages of virtual shows is accessibility. For many virtual series riders no longer need expensive show clothes, equipment, trucks and trailers, or hours to travel to events.

*Pictured is an empty template to draw on, a filled template example I made right on my phone and a video showing the course!!
*Remember that judges can only score what they can see. In this particular video it is too dark to see the box on the ground. Using the zoom function on the camera AND videoing at a better time of day would be very helpful here.
*Always keep Safety First. No prize is worth injury of you or your horse.
*Always read the rules/regs/specifications for the show you're entering
*Plan your course on paper and walk it out in your arena, pasture or backyard!
*Match obstacles to your horse and riders skill level, and add creative challenges for extra points! ๐จโจ
