We Need Your Help With Video Tips!


For those of us constantly doom scrolling social media videos to pass the time, instead of watching everyone else's videos, let's have some fun and MAKE SOME!


Each week I would like to include a tips and tricks section in The Vanner Banner, but instead of it being written content, let's do it with video! This is a wonderful way to get to know everyone, share those awesome tips you've learned over the years, provide education, and its a great way for everyone to participate in something fun from the comfort of your barn.


Are you on board yet? Here's the plan... Record your best tips and tricks with your cell phone. Tips could include: show prep tips, trail riding tips, training tips, grooming tips, tips on properly fitting tack and equipment, management tips... really anything you think is a great tip where Gypsy Vanners are involved.


Please keep videos to 90 seconds or less. If your tips are selected they will be featured in a weekly Vanner Banner edition and on the GVHS Facebook page! Please include your name and your Horse's name with your video submission.
