Horse Training in Harmony

In this episode I talk with Sandra Beaulieu, the award-winning author of FREESTYLE: The Ultimate Guide to Riding, Training, and Competing to Music. Sandra is a USDF Bronze & Silver Medalist, a USDF Freestyle Bronze Bar recipient, and a USDF "L" Graduate. 

She saw a need in the dressage world for do-it-yourself freestyle information and is passionate about helping riders begin the dance with their horse. 

We’ll talk about why you might want to ride to music even if you don’t want to do a competitive musical freestyle… and how to start creating one if you do. She has a free download for you with some great tips…
