Just curious really, I took my ipod with me the other night and I found having the music really helped me to concentrate!! Did have to shove it down my jods though as no where else to put it lol!
Who listens to music whilst schooling?

Me too! I have the concentration span of a goldfish (and that's probably doing the goldfish a disservice!
) and I find I stay in the school much longer when I have my ipod to listen/sing along to. (I only sing when I have solo use of the school, the others haven't done anything to deserve listening to me howl along to my cheesy choons!
)

what sort of music - did you find it interfered or helped with rythm?

I'm afraid I can't help you with the technical side of it, I just use it to keep me in the school longer than 15mins before I go "stuff it, let's hack" or "that feels long enough now"!
I guess it probably subconsiously helps with rythymn if you were to find suitable music, but I just stick on whatever my favourite album of the moment is. Recently that's been Will Young, Rhianna and Avril Lavigne!

bows head in shame now, mostly dance music!!!
I just found I was a lot more relaxed and consistent, then schooled a couple of nights later without and we didn't get along nearly as well (but that may have had something to do with a couple of cows sticking their heads through the school fence
)

I do to - plug whatever MP3 player into my ears and happily trot round. I find i'm more dedicated to what I'm practicing, find a stronger better rhythm, and everything becomes a whole lot more fluid. I listen to pretty chilled out stuff normally but to be honest it doesn't really seem to matter - it all has the same effects. When I teach I try and get the people I'm teaching to think of their favorite song and sing it in their heads - if I'm feeling really mean I make them sing it aloud

We have a full music system in the indoor school, I have to admit I don't use it lots as it almost distracts me, although it does seem to perk Pickle up a bit. We have HUGE speakers, DJ deck the lot
bit excessive really!

I listen to heavy metal
My mare is quite spooky sometimes and I do find that when riding along I will think "she will spook at that noise" or "she will spook at that bag" and she will do that. With music in I just find that I concentrate on her way of going rather than if she is going to spook, therefore ignoring the spooking which in return nearly erradicates it if you get me?

i do. schooling/jumping/hacking in fields (not on road obviously!!!)
have done since i was about 13!!! i also find it helps the horse go better as i am less intense on what i am trying to achieve and so they respond better.

oooo, now I was thinking about this the other day and whether it would help, going to give my s huffle a try, its small enough to stick in the pocket

Sometimes. I then ride around and alter the pace depending on the beat of the music etc.

i do it i love it i only wish i could have a permanent soundtrack to life. i found it really helped jumping my horse when i was having trouble with him cos instead of thinking about him stopping i just listened to the music and i also find it can rev you up or calm you down whatever you need at the time. we've got an old racetrack on a beacon near us and i have in the past been known to have a nice canter round it with black beauty playing on my mp3
or airwolf thats a good one too
. schooling i normally like something with a good beat to ride to and i find it alot easier to do half pass and all that dressagey nonsense
with music
