hello happy dressage people!

I'm trying to compile an Elementary DTM entry and it looks like Depeche mode suits us quite well! Do you think it's not too mad to use it as a soundtrack? I thought of "Personal Jesus" for trot, "When the body sleeps" for walk and "It's no good" for canter :D also, I'm deciding on whether to do trot-walk-canter or canter-walk-trot, trot music having the most oomph, would you put the most exciting bit in the beginning or the end of the test?

thank youz :)
 
There is a dr rider, I think he is British, that uses a DM medley for his tests. Can't think of the name. He uses "precious" for a lot of it, and "Personal Jesus" if I recall.
 
Brilliant - the passage was totally on the button as if it was written specifically for dressage. Why oh why cant more dressage riders use interesting music like this - it would make the sport more accepable to non-horsey or non-dressage peeps.
 
phew I was fearing I'd be slanted :) hehee, will have a go methinks! but again - do you think it's better to put the puchiest bit in the beginning or the end of a test? thanks :)
