Flying Horse

A horse racing a drone across the Manx coastal setting

Watch Flying Horse, a film by DotPerformance.

Shot on location across a stunning sandy beach on the Isle of Man, Flying Horse follows a horse and rider at full gallop, captured using a combination of cinematic ground footage and FPV drone work that puts the camera closer to the action than any traditional rig could. The result is a film that feels as wild and free as the subject itself, fast, immersive and unlike anything you'd expect from equestrian filmmaking. Flying Horse went on to be featured in Horse & Hound magazine, bringing the Isle of Man's coastline and Dot Performance's FPV capabilities to a national audience.
