RIDDEN Activities

Musical Ride

A Musical Ride is a choreographed equestrian performance set to music, blending elements of dressage with creative flair.

Typically performed by a team of four riders, each dressed in themed costumes, these rides are designed to entertain both participants and spectators alike. Precision timing and synchronised movements are key components, requiring extensive practice and coordination among team members.

Under the guidance of a coach, teams meticulously plan their routines, incorporating various manoeuvres such as synchronised turns, formations, spins, and crossings. The goal is to execute these movements with seamless precision, showcasing the team’s unity and skillful horsemanship.

What Opportunities Do I Have?

Participating in Musical Rides offers Pony Club^® members a range of exciting opportunities. Beyond the enjoyment of performing to music and wearing themed costumes, riders gain valuable teamwork skills and improve their horsemanship abilities through disciplined practice and rehearsals.
