The music

The music - or rather, the musics... Every style can be used, but music written for dancing on foot is generally the best suited. Waltz, tango, salsa, latin, classical, slow numbers, rock: everything is possible, each with its own degree of difficulty.

Every rider will find the style and the music that best suits the partnership of rider and horse.

The music may be shortened, but not modified. The length is from 3 to 4 min 30 max.  Some online competitions set the music, which calls for imagination in the choreography.

Recommendations and tips:

Choose slow music for your first attempts; as your horse moves up a level, you can take on bolder music..

Watch the tempo as well. Your horse has a rhythm it prefers, and if your music is not in its rhythm it will be harder to hold a rhythm that does not suit it..

Choose music with clearly marked musical phrases, so that you have time to make your transitions more easily and do not lose the beat of the music.
