CADS 2025 Winter Hybrid Show Series

CADS will be holding a Hybrid-mix of Virtual Shows this winter starting in January 2025.

These shows will take place in January, February and March and will be treated as a Series.

Series awards being presented at the annual CADS Banquet separately from the Spring/Summer season.

You must participate in at least 2 of the series shows to be eligible for the series awards.

There will be 2 options to show for each month.:

Option 1:  IN-PERSON video shoot at Brecksville.  Option 2: Traditional video submission.

Video recording equipment using a SoloShot v3 tracking system will be available to rent

at the Brecksville facility for $10/ride.  

 

Both options will result in a video that will be uploaded to YouTube to be judged.

Score sheets and tabulated results will be sent to you by email.   

Placing Certificates will be sent to you as well.  No ribbons will be awarded for this series.

Entries for the January show are being accepted now under the Show & Clinic Entry TAB

We will close entries for the January show on January 10, 2025.

Please send us an email at cadsrider@gmail.com if you have any questions about this series

or if you need any clarification of the process.  

Once again, CADS is innovating to provide the best experience for our members!

 

Video Guidelines for our Winter Series

  1. Videos of tests must be unedited from start to finish. They must be one continuous recording with the horse and rider visible at all times.

  2. Videos must be filmed in LANDSCAPE orientation.

  3. After entering the arena, before beginning the test, a sign must be held up showing the show's name, the date of the show, the horse’s name, and the test. Remove the sign just before beginning the ride. Please ensure all information is clear and easy for the judge to read. The videographer can hold the sign and then move back to behind the camera or hold the sign in front of the camera at arm’s length while also holding the camera.

  4. Keep the horse in the frame, paying close attention to the near corners. You may zoom in slightly on the far corners. Videos must be in focus.

  5. Make sure to keep the letters in the frame that are elements of the test being performed.

  6. The test must be videoed from C, where the judge would normally be seated. 

  7. When complete tests must be uploaded to Youtube and links emailed to cadsrider@gmail.com on or before the due date (the virtual date listed on the CADS Calendar).
