What the judges want to "hear" when they listen to your dressage horse's musical freestyle!

HOW TO POLISH YOUR BOOTS TO PERFECTION
HOW TO POLISH YOUR BOOTS TO PERFECTION
Ok... I admit I am a little OCD... but its part of my routine when i am getting ready for a show or class... i use the quiet time to go over my test and think about my plan... and boy do my boots shine!! Ruth

Having a hard time getting my head around the fact riding is lifelong quest for improvement as I am an immediate results person (or else I dont go there) Good thing nobody pointed that out before I dove in.......

- Saw the video, just a few moments and the imporatnce of good music is defined.
The horse in my photo is 7/8TH/1/8 AQH, he would need something quite glammy and rocky as he has a big almost warmblood movement 18 months on from the photograph.
The video did make me smile.
