how it works… | music2ride

First of all, please contact me and I can tell you if I have time for any new projects at the moment. You need to tell me which class you want your freestyle music for and I will give you a few tips on what you should pay attention to in the choreography so the music will sound great at the end. If I know exactly what you want / need and by when, I can make you a concrete offer.

Ideally, I need at least (!) 6 weeks (from video submission on). I need much time to search music that suits you, your riding, your horse and the class you ride. For this I need a video of your riding exactly how you want to ride the freestyle at a tournament. If I have less than 6 weeks time, this means a lot of extra work for me, which I unfortunately have to add to the price (I do this only in justified exceptional cases – e.g. because someone unexpectedly qualified for an important series or championship – since it is no fun trying to be creative, when you’re under pressure).

At the beginning, I will try to find out more about your personal taste in music. I prefer not to be committed to certain songs because they often do not meet the criteria that a good song must have for a freestyle program – or they are so old hat that the judges are better off not getting bored with them. But of course I will try to find music that makes the horse / rider couple and the ride appear in the best light within the musical taste of my customers – and if you should not like the result, we will certainly find another solution.

I would be happy to advise you on the choreography – so much in advance: symmetries in the ride are important, if you want nice and stunning music, a clear structure and as few transitions as possible. Please get in touch before you make the video so that I can give you a few important tips.

after about 4-5 weeks you will get the music to practice. If you send me a video of you riding your freestyle with the music in training, I can make some last changes if necessary or I can give you a few tips on how to ride it more appropriately to the music, or where markers in the music that you can use as guidance.

When you have ridden your freestyle at a tournament for the first time, you can send me a video and I look at the ride and the judge’s rating and maybe again will adjust a few things if necessary. You can book a “competition series package”, so we will take a look at how we can position you even better compared to the other participants of the series.
