## FAQs

Because we have a variety of riders and tests from the US and Canada, we can't guarantee that your division would have more than one person in it. Therefore, you are not placed based on other riders' scores, you are "competing against yourself." For each show you enter,

- [How do I submit my video?](https://betterdressagescores.com/faq/how-do-i-submit-my-video) - On the checkout page, simply paste the link to your video in the "notes" section.

Just send us an email and we'll find a solution.
- [Can a horse have more than one rider?](https://betterdressagescores.com/faq/can-a-horse-have-more-than-one-rider) - Yes, horses and ponies can be ridden by more than one rider in one or multiple divisions. We do ask that you do not overwork your horses.
