Beginning this year Consignors will be able to provide walking videos of all of their yearlings to be displayed on the OBS Sortable Master Index.  Unlike past years where OBS contracted with one videographer to schedule appointments for shooting videos of the Selected Yearlings, Consignors will be responsible for procuring their own videographers to produce and supply videos.  Consignors should keep in mind the following:

1. OBS will pay a stipend of $125 for videos of SELECTED SESSION yearlings to be applied to the cost of a basic walking video.  Any added features to a video (catalog page, voice over, additional audio, etc.) will be the responsibility of the seller.
2. Sellers may provide OBS videos of open session yearlings at their own expense which we will include on the sortable master index in the OBS website.
3. OBS reserves the right to reject any video based on quality and its ability to enhance a horse’s marketability.

Our desire is to have video footage of all horses by September 27, and the videos posted on our website by October 1.  Any horses that are coming from areas other than Ocala or Lexington that may present time/logistic issues with scheduling may be videoed when they arrive on the sales grounds.

The link below is for videographers to download OBS branded pedigree and hip information for individual horses as video slates and lower thirds to add to walking videos:

OBS reserves the right to not accept any videos we feel does not represent the horse well.

Tips for shooting horse videos

• Photographer should keep the sun to their back and avoid harsh shadows on horses
• Shooting on a slightly cloudy day is fine and usually prevents shadows. Do not shoot if it is raining.
• The ideal shooting location should allow 40 or more feet for the horse to walk in a straight line. The area should be flat with a pleasing background that is free of distractions.
• When shooting with a cell phone maintain a distance of about 20 feet from the horse. This will ensure the entire horse is included in the frame.
• Walking on a hard surface shows the entire feet. If horse is walking on grass please make sure it is freshly cut. If walking on mulch or other material make sure it has been raked.
• If your phone or camera records in a format other than the required .mp4 file type it will need to be converted. The easiest way is to upload your video to Youtube. When the video finishes processing just click the download button. The file will be sent back to you as an .mp4.
