Maximize your consultation by supplementing the Animal Profile Form with a short video (3 minutes max) of your horse in motion. Your horse may be ridden under saddle or worked in hand. Please include the following:
- Animal walking away from the camera for 30 yards, turning, and walking back towards the camera.
- Animal trotting away from the camera for 30 yards, turning, and trotting back towards the camera
- Animal walking from right to left, then left to right, filmed from the side - 30 yards each side
- Animal trotting from right to left, then left to right, filmed from the side - 30 yards each side
Remember: Videos must be no longer than three (3) minutes. I will study the profile form along with the video before we speak to help provide you with the most complete assessment possible.
