I actually got a bit emotional watching this. Phantom’s owner did so well, and they look lovely together. He seemed calm, and also seemed to be listening to and responding to her well. Cheers to you both!

Congrats to his owner. I know how that feels. The first ride on Sabre was awesome.

I remember that !!!! Exciting day!

Wow, what a difference in that bad boy! You are worth whatever they pay you, sir.

The owner must be thrilled!!They look good together.

That was so lovely to see the owner get on her horse for the first time ,looks like she will do just fine , but credit to all your hard work with this one Tim👍

I declare today: Owner’s first ride day. 😂 We have a rescued mare. We only know that she got abused and was completely petrified on many levels. She was in panic when I got the first time on her. Many months of ground work and weeks of me just standing next to her on the mounting block, finally she was relaxed that I was able to get on her and walks off and stops. TODAY The owner mounted the first time (the owner also did a huge amount of ground work with her). The horse was completely relaxed. Yeah! It is such a huge step forward if the first ride for the owner goes well and gives them a good starting point to continue the training. ❤

I have a soft spot for this horse. He's come so far so fast. He's such a good boy. I feel kind of sad to see this one go home. I've loved watching him. I know that Phantom must have loved being there on your beautiful place and having you and your team work with him because he's turned into such a good horse so fast. I hope that he has a wonderful life and I hope that we get to see him again sometime.

Phantom is coming along so beautifully 💖

You can get an omni mic with low sensitivity in that rumble, low end range. That would ignore most of the noise. You could also baffle it on the side where the noise comes from and position it carefully while listening to the output to exclude the Fan and not the floor of the arena. Baffle it from the top as well or you'll get nothing but Rain noise when it's raining. Using any kind of directional pattern will exclude a lot of the arena, but maybe a Figure 8 mic or a sub-cardioid could work as well, but each will have space that's outside the pattern.

I don't want to mic up a person, I want to mic up an area. I just don't know enough about mics to know which one to get.

Thank you for that specific excellent information.

I bet she was so excited! He’s a gorgeous boy!

Always thrilling to get that first ride and the owner seems to be a good match. Phantom was really well behaved and quiet. I am sure you were thrilled it went so well too.

Great job! Looks like they will make a great team!

so typical Arabian 😊when they love you you can do anything with them and they do anything for you ❤️❤️❤️

nice work! He's turning into a lovely horse! On another note, check out the DJI Mic 2 for your audio. It's super easy to use, and has amazing quality. It's made for people who "vlog". We have it and love it. The noise cancelling will help take out a lot of the distracting noises like your exhaust fan. I really enjoy watching your training videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

Excellent so happy for all three of you ❤ 😊

He’s doing well with his owner. What a difference from day one. I would love for the owner to continue to take riding and training lessons from you for a few months before she goes home with him. I don’t know her experiences with him or riding, but making sure she can handle the leadership role consistently is so important. Great job!

Tim, I can see that you’re a patient, experienced trainer. But, why oh why do you and your owners/helpers not wear helmets? As a neurosurgeon once told me: “you can fix most broken bones but you can’t fix the brain.”

Gayle usually does wear a helmet...I Guess she accidentally forgot it this time!

Helmets are at the owner/riders discretion. He doesn't require them and leave the choice to the owner of the horse.

Discretion, choice...what about the families who will be obligated to care for the person who chose not to wear a helmet in the event they suffer a catastrophic non fatal injury? It's not just the life of the person who didn't want to wear a helmet, it's the future of everyone around them.

I work with and owned young thoroughbreds all my life and never wore a hat to handle a horse.who thought up this idea. I will of my own accord wear one to ride

Dedicated audio recording would be the best way to go - it just requires sync in editing. Curtis Judd here on KZread has some fantastic tutorials.

That's great for a studio, not for this situation.

Re. microphone, maybe try one that clips on to your shirt? Just might be fiddly to set it up. Or set up the camera at the other end of the yard 😂

Phantom just might be one of those horses who prefer women. They looked great together!

It's like he knew there was a woman riding him for the first time and needed to be gentle. Smart horse, and great training!

Owner's leg and seat show she's a beginner. Her hands and contact are iffy at best. Dismounting was not well done! This lovely, green horse is not suitable for her skills AT THIS TIME. Phantom will be back!

And no helmet?

Make sure to turn subtitles on. It should catch your voices

If you cant afford the expense of proper training for a green horse, so its a safe horse. You probably should not own a green horse. You cant rush training.

Ummm ... this video IS training. 🤔

Too much horse for this owner. Phantom needs an experienced rider and even then, Arabs are on a whole nother level. She needs to sell him to someone who's not afraid and is experienced!!

Helmet?

Green rider on a green horse with no helmet is risky.

Why don't you wear helmets?

What a fabulous first ride! Congratulations to Phantom and his owner! ❤❤❤

She looks the only riding she has done is on those nose to tail horses at a dude ranch. Why did she get an Arab and a green one to boot. What is the future for that beautiful horse.

I don't know what the hell that noise is but I got to go I can't sit here and listen to that

It's an attic fan that keeps the barn cool. It's automatic and he can't cut it off. Using the down volume on your phone or computer will help as will muting the sound if it's offensive.

Buy a head mic.

Can you not turn the sound off and do a voice over ? I know it takes a little more time and effort but may be worth the time so people can hear what’s going on . Just a suggestion not to be mean . I love watching your videos but would like to be able to hear you .
