Put on your dancing shoes
Enter the dressage to music scene with a bang. Freestyle expert Kelly Jewell shows you how
A dressage to music masterclass to give you the confidence to give it a go
REMEMBER THE STIR created by the ‘dancing horses’ at the 2012 London Olympics? The nation couldn’t get enough of them, giving the sport of dressage just the boost it needed.
If you’ve not yet given dressage to music (also known as freestyle) a go, make now the time. It’s so liberating as a rider, as you can get creative, designing your own floorplan and choosing the music too. It’s interesting, fun and good to watch. There are classes at affiliated and unaffiliated competitions and at riding club level. From intro to grand prix level, everyone is catered for. You can even have a go at qualifying for the Petplan Equine Area Festivals or the NAF Five
Star Winter Championships.
