Dressage Freestyles
Quality You Can Hear!
At Woodwind Studios, I edit dressage music that matches your choreography. The freestyles you’ll watch below are a mix of choreography and competition videos. When you work with me, the choreography videos you’ll be seeing are the exact product I send for music approval. I ensure that the music matches movements stride for stride and that every movement features its own phrasing. Trot and canter extensions are always a highlight in my work.
Downton Abbey, Grand Prix Freestyle
Iconic music from Downton Abbey highlights this freestyle for Eline Eckroth’s elegant mare, Daphne. The Downton theme is mixed with majestic piano music for a dramatic and eye-catching freestyle. I designed choreography for the ride.
Elvis, Grand Prix Freestyle, USDF National Finals
Lauren Sprieser won the Grand Prix Freestyle Reserve Championship at the USDF National Finals with her Elvis-themed freestyle. Her score was 74.5%, with one score of 77% from judge Lilo Fore. The commentator, Kathy Connelly, said, “excellent music choices” and “really beautiful, beautiful freestyle!”
Barbie Girl, FEI Young Rider Freestyle
Ella Fruchterman rides her mare, Isalitta Roos, to light, fun music from the “Barbie Girl” soundtrack and Taylor Swift. Contemporary pop music is a great match for this talented pair and very popular with audiences. I designed choreography, as well as edited music, for the ride. Choreography was filmed over different days with a few splices at the end of the video to accommodate a change to the design.
