What Our Riders Say

I am writing to share my positive experience with the virtual horse show. The platform was incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to upload videos and view other entries. I appreciated the clear guidelines and the thoughtful, motivating and positive feedback provided by the judges. This virtual format allowed me to participate from home, which was a huge convenience since I'm still working on my confidence. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a flexible and engaging horse show experience.

This is my first time participating in a Virtual Equine Events activity, and it's something I'd definitely be interested in joining again. What makes this one different than other online shows is that there is something for everyone. I did the Heart Horse Challenge because of my busy schedule, but there are other options that I might try later on. It's a good way to spend time with your horse without the stress and commotion of shows. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I look forward to trying some other challenges/classes in the future.

My horse is a stallion and as such limited by rules to where we can go. Plus in my area of South Arkansas shows are few and far between. These virtual shows give us the motivation to continue to work and improve our skills both in hand and under saddle. I have entered two shows so far and plan on entering many more to come!

Very fun idea! I can show at a time that works for me and my horses and we do not have to endure long hot days at in person horse shows. VEE is responsive to messages and the judges feedback is excellent. VEE is fair and does not use the same judge every time.

I can't trailer my horse anywhere so this program gave me the perfect opportunity to get feedback and give me a chance to show and earn ribbons with my horse. It's also very affordable and the feedback is great.

"My kids loved the heart horse challenge last time. With the time change the kids slowed down in spending time with their horses/pony so I decided to enter them into the Heart Horse Challenge to give them that extra boost. They were so excited to do this again. They even begged me to join. So I decided to do it with them. We had a great time and it got us out even when it was dark. Thank you for doing these virtual events. They are wonderful!

I'm not able to take my horse to any shows because of his anxiety level so when I found these affordable online shows with great feedback and awards I was so happy. I have been doing them as much as possible and I have gotten so much better. Thank you VEE for this opportunity!

FAQ

What is a virtual horse show?

A virtual horse show is an online competition where riders and handlers showcase their skills by submitting pre-recorded videos of their class pattern. These events are judged remotely by qualified professionals, following the same standards as in-person shows. Participants can compete in a variety of disciplines, from the convenience of their home arena. Virtual horse shows provide an accessible and cost-effective way to gain feedback, improve skills, and connect with the equestrian community worldwide.

How does a virtual horse show work?

A virtual horse show allows riders to compete from the comfort of their own facilities. Participants record their performances following class specifications, then submit their videos for judging. Certified judges evaluate entries and provide scores and feedback. Results are posted online, and awards are sent directly to winners. It’s a convenient and fun way to showcase your skills, no matter where you are!

3. Submit Your Video – Once you have completed your online registration, you will receive a confirmation email including an upload link to submit your video.

Can I enter multiple divisions with the same horse?

Yes, you can enter multiple divisions with the same horse. However, you can only enter two conservative levels within the division.

Can more than one rider enter a class on the same horse?

Yes, more than one rider can be entered on the same horse. Each combination of horse and rider requires an entry.

Where do I find the pattern for my class?

After you submit your entry, you will receive the pattern for your class via email for download. The pattern can also be found on the class list on the website.

Do I have to wear show attire?

Show attire is not required; however, correct schooling attire appropriate for your discipline is expected.

How do I submit my video?

When will I get the results and score sheet for my class?

Is shipping of ribbons free?

Yes! We provide free shipping on all physical ribbons and rosettes for competitors located within the USA. There are no hidden handling fees at checkout for your awards.

Do you ship awards internationally?

Currently, we do not ship physical ribbons or rosettes outside of the USA. To ensure our global community can still participate and be rewarded, we encourage all international competitors to select the VEE e-Voucher and e-Certificate award type during entry.

This option allows you to:

Avoid international customs and shipping delays.

Receive your awards instantly via email.

Apply your winnings directly toward your next entry fee.

What prizes are awarded?

We pride ourselves on offering flexible award options to suit every competitor, whether you are looking for a physical keepsake or a digital reward.

Placings: In every class, we award prizes from 1st through 6th place.

1. Flat Ribbon - A classic 8" flat ribbon in traditional placing colors.

Best for: Competitors looking for a standard keepsake at a lower entry fee (entry fee $22).

2. Rosette - A premium 12" rosette featuring high-quality pleating and streamers.

Best for: Those who want a larger, more decorative display piece for their ribbon wall (entry fee $35).

3. Digital Bundle - A VEE e-Certificate and a VEE e-Voucher (entry fee $35).

Best for: International competitors or those who prefer instant rewards without shipping wait times.

How do the e-Vouchers work?

If you select Option 3, your e-Voucher acts as a credit toward future show entries. The value of the voucher is determined by your placing:

1st Place: $20 Voucher

2nd Place: $15 Voucher

3rd Place: $12 Voucher

4th Place: $10 Voucher

5th Place: $8 Voucher

6th Place: $6 Voucher
