SWANA (Swedish Warmblood Association of North America) organizes an annual inspection tour across the USA and Canada with judges from the Swedish Warmblood Association (SWB), inspection committee in Sweden. The inspection tour is a possibility to get Swedish Warmblood horses presented and evaluated. During this pandemic year when international travel is restricted, SWANA takes matters into their own hands where the SWB-appointed judges will perform foal inspections digitally from Sweden via Ridesum’s LIVE video streaming app.
Ridesum gives you the ability to train ‘live’ – or in SWANA’s case, present horses live, which is a must when evaluating a horse. The foals, based in USA and Canada, will be evaluated just as they would be in an inspection; the breeder will receive instant feedback as the evaluation takes place live via video streaming in the Ridesum App.
The two appointed SWB judges, Jan-Ove Olsson and Christina Olsson from the Swedish inspection committee, will judge the horses live from Sweden.
“We hope breeders will grab this opportunity and have their foal inspected digitally this year. It saves time and money as it can be done on your home turf, and healthwise no worries about large crowds,” says Katarina Antens-Miller, president of SWANA.
“Digital inspections live give us the ability to still connect with the breeders,” says Jan-Ove Olsson, SWB judge.
