Rhythm Riding
A Guide to Riding with Music
Cece Maddlone (Author), Frank Maddlone (Author), Dr. Cesar Parra (Consultant)

Creating the perfect musical freestyle can be an overwhelming prospect, but this compilation provides a proven step-by-step process that makes learning to ride with music an enjoyable and achievable goal. With a guide for each level through Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI), this resource starts with the compulsory requirements and do’s and don’ts, explores the addition of music, and culminates with reinforcing exercises. Utilizing those new elements while riding can be applied immediately with the accompanying practice CD. In addition, the book provides a guide to available technologies, the best types of metronomes, as well as a music notation guide for beginners. Anyone who is actively coaching, teaching, or training will find this to be an invaluable addition to their curriculum or training program.

Book Reviews
"This book is a must-have for beginner freestyle riders."  —Horse Country

"This spiral bound book contains everything you need to know if you’re contemplating musical freestyle. It has directions focused both on riding and music, interviews with famous riders, trainers and even its own CD, so you can practice your musical freestyles, or kurs, in your own arena with your own horse. “ Ride with the Music, Not in Spite of It,” is the authors’ motto, and it shows." —Eliza McGraw, PhelpsSport.com
"Whenever I ride to this music, I feel like I am having a spa treatment. It definitely relaxes me!" —JR, Maryland
"I was riding in a training arena recently - it was one of those days; one horse was bucking, the other was spooking and we were all tense. The owner of the barn put this amazing music on and, within a few minutes, everyone was calm and going around the arena like nothing happened. I had to get it!"  —LR, New Jersey
