Creating the perfect dressage musical freestyle can be an overwhelming prospect. EquiChord, a professional music studio that provides creative musical arrangements and choreography for amateur and professional dressage riders alike, has authored Rhythm Riding - a book that provides a proven step-by-step process that makes learning to ride with music an enjoyable and achievable goal. Covering each level through FEI, the book begins with the basics of the compulsory requirements with a lists of do’s and don’ts, explores the addition of music, and then culminates with reinforcing exercises. In addition, the book provides a guide to available technology, the best metronomes, and a primer on the elements of music for beginners.
Best of all, the reader can immediately apply what they’ve learned while riding with the accompanying Rhythm Riding Practice CD. It supplies 60+ minutes of originally composed and arranged music from set to tempos that fit the average gaits of small medium and large horses.
