Amateur show jumping clips to feature on video website

There are alot of horse lovers where I live and I think this idea is great. From Horse and Hound.

"A new online video channel enabling amateur show jumpers to show clips of their finest — or most embarrassing — moments is to be launched later this month.

The 'Grassroots' website, which will be part of the community website ITV Local, is inviting clips shot on video cameras or mobile phones to be submitted for inclusion on the site.

TV Local's director of content Lindsay Charlton said: "Limited television airtime means that only a fraction of what goes on at equestrian events actually makes it to the screen. Grassroots will create a window through which amateur sports people can show off their talents — and their bloopers."

Ms Charlton added that the aim of the site was to raise the profile of local show jumping events and to provide an informative and entertaining service. "We're also interested in coaching tips, and even the antics of supporters," she said. "
