Freestyle Course
Learn how to create a dressage musical freestyle you LOVE from start to finish. ❤
Turn your dreams into reality…
Inside this Freestyle Course, you will learn how to turn your ideas into a complete musical freestyle, from choosing the right music and planning your choreography to editing the final track and preparing for a show.
You do not need advanced music-editing skills, professional choreography experience, or an extravagant horse. You need a clear process, practical guidance, and support at each stage.
By the end, you will have a polished freestyle that reflects your partnership, highlights your horse’s strengths, and feels completely yours!

Sandra was an answer to my prayers in creating my first musical freestyles. I tried on my own for a year and just kept hitting roadblocks. Finally, I found someone that would teach ME how to do it; including the music editing part!

Meet Your Freestyle Guide
Sandra is an award-winning author and freestyle designer who has been helping riders reach their goals with custom freestyles, DIY resources, and now this comprehensive online course.
"It brings me so much joy to see a rider finally make it down the centerline after years of dreaming. I want to make sure that no one misses out on the opportunity to experience the pure joy of dancing with their horse!" ⭐️
Twice a month, you can join me live on Zoom for live coaching calls. Bring your questions, share your progress, or simply listen in and gather new ideas.
These calls are a wonderful way to stay motivated, brainstorm music, build momentum, and connect with other creative equestrians.
You can submit riding videos for personalized feedback on your music and choreography. I can even edit your music and demonstrate skills during the call.
You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I’ll be there to guide and encourage you along the way. ⭐️
You’re not alone. I’m here to help!
You don’t need competition goals to enjoy the magic of riding to music! This course will help you create a freestyle that celebrates your horse and the things you love doing together. The bonus Exhibition Riding section offers ideas for costumes, props, tricks, and liberty work to bring even more creativity to your routine.
You can also create what I like to call a Legacy Freestyle: a lasting memory of your partnership, set to music that means something to you. Enjoy it together, perform it for friends, or capture it on video to treasure for years to come. ❤
What if I don’t want to Compete?
Do I need expensive music editing software?
No! I’ll show you how to edit your freestyle music using Audacity, a free program you can download to your computer and use offline.
For Mac users, I also include tutorials on GarageBand, so you can choose the program that works best for you. I’ll guide you through the process step by step!
