Ride to grand prix freestyle dressage music
Have you ever wanted to try riding to grand prix freestyle music?
You can now buy the composition created for Michael Eilberg’s grand prix kur with Monet from Sound Schooling, a company selling audio downloads for riders.
The track “Vanquish” was created by 26-year-old composer Tom Hunt and costs £1.49.
“Riding to background music can be a really rewarding experience, helping your rhythm and giving you a focus during your schooling sessions,” said Rona Willicott from Sound Schooling.
“And you don’t have to be a grand prix level rider to enjoy riding to this iconic music, with sections for walk, trot and canter.”
Tom also arranged the music for Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro’s gold medal-winning test at the 2012 Olympics, as well as the piece used by Carl Hester and Uthopia at the British National Dressage Championships last year.
The download is designed to be listened to on your MP3 player while you ride.
