Phil,
A shotgun mic would be great for this kind of video recording, but you won'=
t get any directionality (the horses going to the side) without stereo. My =
recommendation would be something like the Rode Stereo Vidmic Pro: http://w=
ww.sweetwater.com/store/detail/VideoMProST?adpos=3D1o1&creative=3D556739407=
21&device=3Dm&matchtype=3D&network=3Dg&gclid=3DCPz-_aC-nsYCFY81aQodqncFIg
The good news is that Rode is located in Australia, so you shouldn't have t=
o go crazy on shipping.
Keep in mind I'm new to this myself and others will likely have better sugg=
estions.
