Video / Photography Service

Do you need a good video or photos of the horse you want to sell? No problem, we can help! Providing buyers with high quality photographs and videos is essential in selling a horse online. Not only do the photos and video have to be clear and bright but they also have to be taken in such a manner that shows the horse at his best. Getting professional marketing materials is a small cost and more than pays for itself in the end. Not only will your marketing materials be taken with top of the line equipment but they will be created by an experienced professional that can guide you through the process.

Be Prepared for Your Video / Photo Appointment with HOC

Please have horse brushed, trimmed and looking tidy when 'HOC' comes to video and photograph.

• Have ready clean tack, saddle pads and boots/wraps for riding.
• Have ready a set of 4 white wraps for the lunging, free jumping and free moving sections as well as for the riding sections if this is your preference. White wraps help to highlight the horse's movement and jumping form, this is especially important if the video is being done in an indoor arena.
• Make sure the riders attire is appropriate for the video as well as the person who is going to lead the horse for the in-hand sections as they will be on the video. The more professional you dress ie. boots, breeches, coat or sweater, the more professional the video and pictures are going to appear.
