Following on from listening to iPod.

What type of music do you listen to when riding and how does it affect your riding?

For example if the music is fast with a quick tempo do you find yourself riding to the beat in the music????

I stick my iPod on shuffle so my music can go something like this:

Britney Spears --> Marilyn Manson --> Pendulum --> Gunther and the Sunshine Girls --> Steps --> Black Eyed Peas --> Bob Marley --> Chase and Status --> Enter Shikari

Whatever I listen to has no effect on my riding at all I still pop along at the same pace, I think my horse would die if I tried to ride to the beat of drum and bass

They say that people drive faster while listening to heavy metal etc and i just thought that subconsciously it might do the same thing when riding....Lol

Personally it doesn't effect me, only time I try and stick to the beat is when I listen to my mates kur music from the Junior(or U21, I forget!) euro's last year which is on my iPod.

For the first time yesterday I listened to music when I rode (playing with new phone

) and was listening to Green Day/30 Seconds to Mars
Found out that we can trot perfectly to the rhythm of Boulevard of Broken Dreams, it amused me

I think it helped - with horse focusing on the rhythm more, he payed less attention to the harder stuff I made him do, and so didn't get as stroppy! Don't think it changed the way I rode though really, except that I sang more
