Winter Equestrian Festival Dressage Set to Begin this Week

Sunday's the Crowd Pleasing Musical Freestyles

Sunday the crowd pleasing musical freestyles will take place in ring one from 9:50 am until 1:00 pm. Here, rider’s literally dance with their horses to musical selections that match the horse’s every step.

This event is the first to sell our at all major competitions, as Grand Prix riders set their sites on the League Finals and World Cup for Dressage in Las Vegas in April.

Similar to figure skaters, these riders receive scores for both their technical and artistic abilities. The musical style competitions are well worth getting up early on a Sunday morning for. After the competitions spectators can enjoy lunch and shopping on the showgrounds while the tunes from the musical freestyles still dance in their heads.

Shown here are Grand Prix competitors, Suzanne Dansby Phelps and Cooper.
