Advice needed re you tube "how to showing guides"

[rushyj]

Ok need some input. I know there are loads of these videos out there but we have been asked by a really well known equine company to do a range of showing "how to" video guides that will be available on you tube and all collected together in one website "being really careful how I put this lol"

Well we are going to be doing the obvious ones (listed below) but wanted to know what you guys thought on what subjects to do. Remember it has to based in showing and I am no good at handstands lol.

Ones we have already.

Plaiting the mane with thread
Pulling mane and tail
Hogging and trimming a cob
Quarter marking and sharks teeth (with combs)
Razoring a tail (to make look pulled)
Stain and scurf removal (product based)
Make up application
Basic show
Advanced show
In hand show
Trotting up in hand

I am sure there are loads I have missed out on

 

[shadowboy]

choosing tack appropriate to the horse/class?

 

[Jericho]

correct turnout for handlers / riders or various classes ??
trimming in general e.g. M&Ms etc?

 

[rushyj]

Oh brilliant thank you..

 

[royal]

ring craft...how to catch the judges eye, what to do if someone keeps cutting you up etc...maybe show a couple of ridden examples...
The strip down/confirmation part - what is required, what you have to do, what not to do etc..

 

[rushyj]

Ring craft is one I have been working through in my head how to do. I have been thinking how to break it all down. I will do a few run throughs so people can have a look and tell me what they think. Luckily (well sort of luckily) I have been on the recieving end of some fairly dartardly moves in the ring so could be uselful!!! Also well done ringcraft is a joy to watch.

How about plaiting and trimming with a view to improving/hiding conformational faults?
Choosing tack to do the above - use of different style saddles, numnahs, bridlework etc.
How to correctly school a horse for a judge ride, what they are looking for etc.
A grooms role in the ring?

What about what to do in an individual show? Maybe one for adults and one for the children when they're showing their ponies.

 

[Onyxia]

Examples of horses and explanation of why you show them in the class/classes you do.
Always thread on here asking what class their horse is best suited to.

 

[Irishlife]

How to stand a horse up properly.

Whether to use square or open stance.

Showing unpredictable youngstock

 

[scrat]

Tips for turnout classes, often a question on here.
Show prep for Traditional Cobs (coloured). How to deal with those feathers, mane and tail.

 

[Fabforester]

Ooh yes def one on correct turnout, ie right attire for appropriate classes. Look forward to seeing them.

 

[jessamess]

I don't know whether this has already been said as haven't read through all the replies but what about other classes Such as

mountain and moorland
arabs
spanish
all the other breeds that never really get that much notice on 'how to vids'

Also about kids ponies/lead rein

what about feed and condition ideal for show horses and each breed/type

Side saddle?!???!

[rushyj]

That all sound brilliant. I am furiously making notes and rough ideas on each. I will keep you all updated just seemed a really good idea to have them all in one site and same format like a library sort of.

Thank you all xx
