Attention Chapter Members!

Please join Ventura County Chapter - CDS and Spirit Equestrian  for a FREESTYLE clinic

Rescheduled to January 28th - 29th

with

Cynthia Collins - Luna Tunes Freestyles
Top Designer and Choreographer


Designing a musical freestyle for dressage can be a very time consuming and frustrating experience; investing hours of listening to and buying music, purchasing equipment, and learning the computer technology necessary.  Finally, it can take years to learn how to design and edit the music in a way that is creative while complying with the USEF rules and USDF/FEI requirements.

    With 15 years of experience, I produce professional freestyles.  I can select music that suits your horse, or use your selection, and match the music's tempo to your horse's gaits.  I can design your custom freestyle at the level of your performance as well as create interesting and judge pleasing choreography. The original music will be rearranged so that in matches the movements you will be performing in a 20 x 60 dressage arena.

  • Choreography
  • Music selection
  • Tempo Matching
  • Computerized Editing
  • Custom CD's
  • Freestyles for all levels

Rides include 2-day 45 min instruction and lecture Saturday evening -$150.00 per horse/rider (includes lunch both days, and dinner Sat evening)    Auditing is free of charge.  Rides begin at 10:00am

Trailer in fee -$25.00 day, Stall fee -$ 35.00 day, & Full Services stall fee - $50.00 day

 

These musical freestyle clinics are fun and educational for all who participate.  Riding to music that fits your horse can be one of the most enjoyable experiences rider's can have in dressage.

Jan Ebeling emigrated to the United States in 1984 after growing up in Germany and apprenticing for late German master Herbert Rehbein for many years. In 1998, Jan became an American citizen and competed for the United States for the first time. From 1998 to 2003, Jan won several titles of champion and reserve champion at our national championships held in Gladstone, NJ on horses such as Gucci, Ricardo, Liberte, and Feleciano.
In 2003, Jan won a spot on the Pan American team in Santo Domingo, aboard Feleciano, and clinched the gold medal for the United States when he was the highest ranked USA team competitor. Jan and Feleciano finished 5th overall at the Pan Am Games individually.
In 2006, Rafalca, a 1997 Oldenburg mare, was purchased for Jan to ride and compete. Jan has shown and competed in the World Cup in 2007, 2009, and 2011. In 2011, Jan and Rafalca were the highest ranked USA riders at the World Cup in Leipzig, Germany. In July 2011, Jan was a member of the USA team in Aachen. Jan and Rafalca have been ranked 27th on the World Ranking list during 2011.
In addition to Jan's heavy competition and training schedule, Jan will be the Adult Amateur clinician for CDS during 2012, is also a member of the High Performance Dressage Eligible Athlete Committee, and conducts clinics nationally and internationally, as well as having a full training business. His family is an important part of his life, he enjoys spending time hiking, biking, snorkeling, and traveling with his wife, Amy and son, Ben.
