It is what it says it is! its basically freestyle dressage, so no written test, you just have to include everything you would in a test, just adapt it to suit the music!

Well thats what I thought but I have found a competion with specific tests...do you then have to match music to that test? Are you judged on your music choice as well as the actual test?

Now that i'm not sure of, i spose you would be wouldn't you, but along as your music matches what you do, then there shouldn't be a problem, obviously, you wouldn't do dressage to heavy metal, that would have to be one hell of a test, they do seem to like more classical music from what i've seen!

But yes you will be judge freestyle by your choice of music and interpretation of it and the actual test (it will be like of the the 'collectives' at the end)

Have a look at:
www.equimusic.com
They have loads and loads of music there, and it is sorted by walk, trot and canter paces.
You need to time your horses footfalls at all paces (just tie a bandage around one leg, and count how many times that foot hits the ground in one minute, and that is the 'bpm'.)
My horses trot is 76 bpm, so I just look through the lists for music which is 76 bpm.
Then I just buy the track off istore.
