Services Designed to Support Your Freestyle Goals
Whether you are looking for a fully custom musical freestyle, freestyle education by Zoom, or an in-person clinic focused on choreography, presentation, and performance, my services are designed to help riders and trainers create work that feels both personal and effective in the ring.
Custom Freestyles
A custom freestyle should feel like more than music layered over a test. It should reflect the horse’s movement, flatter the team’s strengths, and create a performance that feels polished, expressive, and unmistakably your own.
I create custom musical freestyles for dressage, western dressage, and exhibition riders who want music that is thoughtfully designed around the horse, the rider, and the goals of the team. Some clients come with a clear theme, favorite songs, or a strong creative vision. Others begin with only a general feeling or style in mind. Both are excellent places to start.
Every freestyle is approached as an individual collaboration, with careful attention to rhythm, expression, energy, suitability, and the overall impression the ride creates.
This service is ideal for riders who want:
A fully custom freestyle built around their horse and style
Music that feels polished, cohesive, and memorable
A collaborative creative process
A final product that supports both artistry and presentation
The Custom Freestyle Process
Creating a custom freestyle is a collaborative process designed to bring out the strengths, personality, and style of each horse-and-rider team.
Define the Vision
We begin by establishing the goals for the freestyle and the overall feeling you want it to create. This step helps shape the style, theme, and performance identity from the very beginning.
Design the Choreography
Choreography is developed collaboratively, with close attention to the horse’s strengths, the rider’s goals, and the overall flow of the performance. The result is a pattern designed to feel both strategic and beautifully suited to the team.
Shape the Music to the Ride
With the choreography in place, the music is edited directly to video of the choreography so the finished freestyle feels aligned with the movement, character, and exact timing of the ride.
Refine the Final Product
The final freestyle is polished for smooth playback, strong sound quality, and a professional finish, creating a performance-ready product that is both expressive and ring-ready.
EDUCATION AND CONSULTATION
For riders, trainers, barns, and organizations looking to deepen their understanding of freestyle design, I also offer educational services that focus on music selection, presentation, suitability, and the creative choices that shape an effective performance.
These offerings are ideal for those who want thoughtful guidance, deeper discussion, and a stronger understanding of what makes a freestyle both cohesive and memorable.
Zoom Education
Zoom education offers a flexible way for individual riders, trainers, and larger groups to explore freestyle design, music selection, and performance planning in greater depth.
Sessions may be broad in scope, focusing on general freestyle education and the principles that shape an effective performance, or they may be tailored to the goals of a specific rider, trainer, or project. For some clients, that means developing a stronger understanding of music choice, suitability, and presentation. For others, it means using the session as a more customized planning opportunity to clarify ideas, shape direction, and prepare for a future freestyle.
Whether the focus is educational, strategic, or highly individualized, each session is designed to offer thoughtful guidance and a deeper understanding of what makes a freestyle feel both polished and intentional.
Zoom sessions may include:
General freestyle education for riders, trainers, or groups
One-on-one planning sessions for future freestyle projects
Guidance on theme, musical direction, and overall feel
Discussion of suitability, presentation, and performance goals
Customized support based on the needs of the individual or group
In-Person Clinics: Mounted or Classroom
In-person clinics provide an immersive opportunity for riders, trainers, barns, and organizations to explore freestyle development in greater depth. Clinics may be offered in a mounted format, a classroom setting, or as a combination of both, depending on the goals of the group.
Mounted clinics focus primarily on choreography development, with attention to creating patterns that highlight the horse’s strengths, support the rider’s goals, and contribute to a more cohesive and effective final performance.
Classroom clinics allow for a more in-depth educational experience, with detailed discussion of music selection, choreography, judging criteria, and the creative and technical elements that shape a successful freestyle. These sessions may include theme exploration, examples of different musical directions, and comprehensive case studies focused on music suitability and the relationship between the music and the horse.
Whether the emphasis is practical, educational, or a blend of both, clinics are designed to give riders and groups a stronger understanding of how choreography, music, and presentation come together to create a performance that feels both polished and intentional.
Clinic formats may include:
Mounted clinics centered on choreography development
Classroom sessions on music, choreography, and judging criteria
Theme exploration and examples of different musical approaches
Case studies on music suitability and overall presentation
Customized formats for barns, trainers, and organizations
