Frequently asked questions

Create an account, add your horse, then open the competition and choose a class. The entry form checks your eligibility before you submit. Your submission (photo or video) is uploaded with the entry.

Yes. Competitions are open internationally unless a class states otherwise. All judging, results, certificates and rankings are delivered online.

No. Ridden tests specify a preferred space (typically 20 × 40 m), but our tests can be ridden in any safe, suitable area, and markers may be improvised. Class pages state the space requirements clearly before you enter.

Yes, subject to the entry limits published on each competition. Each entry is a specific horse and rider combination in a specific class.

Each class publishes filming instructions covering camera position, framing and what must be visible. In short: film in landscape from the position stated, keep the whole horse in frame, and film in one continuous, unedited take. See our filming guide for the full checklist.

Only cropping, straightening and modest exposure or colour correction are permitted. Cutting, splicing, speed changes, AI generation or any material manipulation is prohibited and leads to rejection. Every competitor accepts a media declaration before submitting.

You'll be told why. Common reasons are the horse leaving the frame, an edited or incomplete video, or the wrong test being performed. Depending on the class rules you may be able to resubmit, and you can request an organiser review of the decision.

Entries are scored by the judge assigned to the class, against the criteria published on the class page. Judges cannot score entries from horses they own, train or coach, and where multiple judges are used they score independently.

Each class publishes an ordered tie-break sequence. If a tie still can't be broken, an authorised organiser resolves it on the record, or a shared placing is awarded.

Every placed entry receives a digital certificate. Ranking points and achievements are awarded where the class is ranking-eligible, and physical rosettes can be ordered for eligible placings.

If your entry is eliminated, rejected or marked invalid, you can request an organiser review — normally within 48 hours of being notified. The outcome may be to uphold or overturn the decision, or to allow a new submission.

Yes. Junior entries require verified guardian consent through a secure, single-use, expiring link before the entry can be submitted. Junior personal details are never shown publicly, and guardians can withdraw consent at any time.
