Meet Mitch: Our Guide for the Day
Mitch was the man on the boards, ready to lead us through the trails. He’s got a knack for finding the best spots to film. With his enthusiasm, we knew we were in for a good time. He explained how we’d be getting different angles while riding, which sounded like a fun challenge.
The Plan: Getting Those iPhone Clips
We gathered our gear and hopped on our horses. The plan was simple: ride along the trails and capture clips with our iPhones. Here’s how we broke it down:
- Choose the Right Angle: We decided to experiment with various angles. Some shots were taken from the side, while others were from behind or in front of the horse.

The Ride: A Mix of Fun and Challenges
As we started riding, the excitement was palpable. The horses were energetic, and so were we! Here are some memorable moments:

- Beautiful Scenery: The trails were stunning. We rode through fields and along wooded paths, which made for some breathtaking backdrops.
- Teamwork: Mitch helped us coordinate our shots. He would ride ahead and then turn back to film us coming towards him. It was a great way to capture the thrill of the ride.
