How to Upload Your Horse Coaching Video

Alternative Horsemanship™ with Samantha Harvey — The Remote Horse Coach

Step-by-Step Video Upload Guide

Would you like to participate in an Alternative Horsemanship™ remote horse coaching video assessment, evaluation, and instruction session, but feel unsure about filming or uploading your video? Don’t worry — it’s simple! Follow the steps below, even if you’re not “tech-savvy.”

🎥 Step 1: Film Your Horse Session

• Use your phone to record your video — a tripod works great, or have a friend help you film.
• Wear light-colored clothing so you are visible in the video.
• Keep the sun or light source behind the camera (not behind you).
• Stay within about 100 feet (30 meters) of the camera for clear visibility.
• Video length: around 15–20 minutes. You can film several shorter clips if needed.

✂️ Step 2: Edit Your Video (Optional)

Many students like to combine a few clips into one video. You can easily do this with the free app YouCut Video Editor:

• Open YouCut and import your clips.
• Trim or combine as needed.
• Mute the sound before saving the final version.
• When saving, choose at least “Medium” quality (1080p or higher).
• When finished, YouCut will give you the option to upload directly to YouTube.

📺 Step 3: Upload to YouTube

1. If you don’t have a YouTube account yet, create one by following Google’s instructions: Create a YouTube Account.
2. Sign in to YouTube and click the plus icon (bottom center).
3. Select “Video.”
4. Choose your saved video file and wait for it to upload.
5. Create a Title.
6. When asked about visibility, choose “Unlisted” (so only people with the link can view it).
7. Click “Upload.”
8. After the video has uploaded, click "You" in the bottom right corner.
9. Click your Channel (profile) Icon (top left of screen).
10. Click on the uploaded video. "Share" and click "Copy Link" and paste the link on the Sign Up form below.

💾 Step 5: Receive Your Recorded Session

After your consultation, you’ll receive a link to download the recorded session, so you can rewatch it anytime for ongoing learning and reflection.

💡 Final Tip

Don’t be intimidated! Many students who thought they “weren’t good with technology” have found this process much easier than expected — and incredibly valuable. Reviewing video together allows you to focus more deeply on your horsemanship awareness without the distractions of riding in the moment.
