Future pros: How to get in front of the camera now
Many of you want to get on the path to scale your riding and your future business to the international level.
You’re putting in the work now. You’re working/riding for someone great. You’re seeing your horse(s) improving.
But unfortunately, some of the best horse trainers and riders don’t end up scaling to the international level. WHY?!
Because they need to market themselves. They need to bring others on their journey with them to get visibility and support ($$$). This means getting in front of the camera. Often. So start now…no matter where you are in your journey.

Here’s 4 TIPS to start getting in front of the camera NOW
Putting yourself out there is hard. Just do it. Get in front of the camera. You’ll get more comfortable with time.
An influencer teen once told me… “You don’t have to be perfect. You just need to keep showing up.” In other words… be consistent!
Afraid people are going to judge your riding? Then don’t focus on that…we are all at different stages in our riding and are improving. Focus on other things you enjoy or are knowledgeable about, such as how to clean tack, your morning feeding routine, etc.
Still feeling awkward on camera? Video yourself talking standing next to your horse! One of our Rising Equestrian Pro team members, Julia, reminded me of this one. In fact, research shows that we feel more comfortable talking in front of audiences when we have an animal with us!
Take short clips throughout your day and do a voiceover. You can quickly edit this in IG or TT apps or externally in something like CapCut. [By the way, future pros, I’d love to feature some of you on the platform, so let me know via email (emily@risingequestrianpro.com) or DM if you’d like to share ‘A Day in the Life of’ video with The Rising Equestrian Pro audience!]
Cheers to chasing the dream,
