Do you need to create a musical freestyle on a quick timeline? Or perhaps you are having a creative block looking for music for your horse. This online resource might be just the help you need! I am not an affiliate of this company but I have recommended them for years.
Marvin's Music
This website offers pre-made freestyle music and choreography for a decent price. The prices range from $23-$57. I have had a few clients use this website to purchase music and choreography. You may need to re-arrange the choreography to better highlight your horse's strengths and weaknesses but their pattern will give you something to start from. I encourage you to visit their website and spend some time listening to the music. It will help you get into the creative mindset.
Options Available
You can listen to each piece of music for the walk, trot, canter, entrance, ending halt and passage if it applies.
If you love soundtracks they have music from Star Wars, Zorro, James Bond, Harry Potter and more!
If you want to try something unique try their new Game Music (Mario, Angry Birds, Sonic).
Choose music from popular bands like Coldplay, the Beatles, Abba, and Madonna as well as Classical, Spanish and Violin music.
They have a Tailor Made option where you can mix and match music from different themes. It costs extra but would be a good option if you wanted something more unique. They can also match their music to your own choreography.
