How I work Equ8

THE PROCESS

My aim is to produce the music that suits your horse in every way possible.

In order to do this, I visit your horse and play a range of pitches, sounds and rhythms.     This is what I call “Tonal Testing”.   The horse’s reaction will help me choose the right music and the right instrumentation (or a C.D. can be supplied for you to test on the horse).

I will observe your horse ridden at walk, trot and canter to note the tempo of each pace.    (Or please send a video of your horse ridden).     I can then prepare samples of trot and canter music, usually 5 of each, in your horse’s chosen key using suitable instruments at the correct tempo.    You can make suggestions if you have something in mind or I can supply a range of traditional or classical music from around the world for you to choose.     I then copy each piece of music onto a sample C.D. for you.     (Please allow up to 28 working days for delivery).   

Upon receipt of the sample C.D. and once you have chosen your favourite trot and canter music, we can begin the work on the music to fit your individual dressage test, i.e. approximately 3 mins. trot, 20 secs. walk, and 2 mins. canter.    Alternatively, I can arrange the music to fit your choreography pace for pace.

The result will be a complete composition that suits your horse in every respect.
