-------------------------------------------
Designing a freestyle can be a very time consuming and frustrating experience; investing hours of listening to and buying CD's, purchasing recording equipment, and learning computer technology. Finally designing and editing the music in a way that is creative while complying with the USEF rules and requirements. I have invested in the equipment and time necessary to produce professional freestyles. I can select music in a style that suits your horse and match it's tempo to your horse's gaits. I design your custom freestyle to match the level of your performance and can create interesting and judge pleasing choreography. On my retired Grand Prix dressage horse, Tierra's Luna and current horse Larisa, I have over a decade of experience designing, choreographing, and riding championship freestyles at every level. Although I do have music and dance training, my real training has been gained in the competition arena, in front of audiences and judges. As a rider, I have earned my
USDF Gold Medal
USDF Silver Medal
USDF Bronze Medal
USDF Silver Freestyle Bar
USDF Bronze Freestyle Bar
Dover Medal National Merit Award I was the 1995 USDF Second Level National Freestyle Champion with a median score of 74%. This was the highest national median for all levels that year. In 2005, I was USDF Fourth Level National Reserve Champion with a 73%. I was USDF National Amateur Champion four times. These include the 1996 Fourth Level, 1999 Intermediate I, 2000 and 2002 Intermediate II Championships, 2005 Fourth Level Reserve Champion. I have won numerous CDS, DASC, and USDF Regional titles in regular and freestyle classes. I have been on the USET Developing Rider List for several years. I am a USEF Dressage Technical Delegate. This role has given me further insight into the competition arena. I hold at Bachelor of Arts Degree in Liberal Studies and a California Teaching Credential. I was an Elementary School teacher in the Public School system for 16 years. I taught the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth grades during this time. Because of my extensive teaching experience, I am able to express ideas to riders in an easy and understanding way during freestyle sessions. I am happily married to my best friend Terry for 23 years.

While I am not a successful rider, I believe this is a display of lots of hard work. I would like to see the horse less bent at the poll. The rider's exemplary knowledge and use of music is evident. 5 stars for arranging and mixing. Your horse would surely carry you to battle and defend you well. Follow your instincts and leave the comfort of "the system".
