A fantastic 3rd place for Annie and Roy in the Grand Prix Freestyle at Aintree International Equestrian Centre High profile 71.8%. Annie rode to a Bon Jovi theme in a very high quality, large field. Roy really excelled against more established horses, showing his total power and potential to become a  top Intermnational Grand Prix performer.

samantha bloor and ELASON

Sam and Hugo's first outing in an Inter 1 Freestyle, and what a venue to try out her new Pink themed music. Not only did Hugo cope with the terrors of a knight in armour, diners by the arena and cheering, he came away with a terrific 2nd place rosette.

How the unique music is created for you.

It is scored, and then recorded one instrument at a time, and is unique to you and your horse. In over 31,655 routines over 42 years Gaynor has composed, created music for, none are the same. There are no 'playlist' restrictions as your music is recorded from scratch, thus you can have ANYTHING you want, any genre. No limitations, and no one will have music someone else has. The music is scored and played with every instrument recorded individually matching every dnamic and every nuance of your test, the tempos, the transitions all perfect. This isnot music patch and pasted from the Permitted Recordings List, but music played and composed by real musicians.

Dressage to Music Clinics. 

What to expect at the Clinic. You will have a one hour session, during which Gaynor will be playing live for you while you ride. This means whatever she plays for every pace will be exactly the right speed, and always suits the horse. You can have any music you want, Gaynor can play anything, but if it doesn’t suit the horse, then you can discuss what else you can use. 40 minutes will be devoted to you riding to music, and Gaynor will be assessing what you are good at, what needs to be accentuated, and what needs to be avoided or disguised. Based on this, she will design an artistic floor plan, which you will ride, and Gaynor videos.

Having done thousands of clinics over the years, Gaynor is very experienced in putting even the most nervous rider at ease. In 38 years, only one person has fallen off during one of Gaynor’s clinics, ( the rider was on her mobile phone)!! Gaynor always provides her own top quality sound system, so it sounds great.

What happens next

 Gaynor will create your tailor made music from scratch one instrumement at a time back in her recording studio. You will be send a draft copy of your music to your email, and a dubbed youtube video to your facebook page. She is very much in demand, as she has a very high success rate, 10,936 winners worldwide since 1980, 441 winners in 2018 and 23 wins in January 2019 alone.  Her turn round time is 5 – 6 weeks.
