Instructor
: Besides being a freestyle designer over the last two decades, Cynthia Collins has designed freestyles at all levels, including PARA and Western Dressage. She is also a freestyle competitor and puts herself and her work in the ring and in front of judges. She knows first-hand what riders are experiencing. She was also a Technical Delegate for many years so she has been able to talk with judges on the latest trends and thoughts for judging freestyles. This has proven to be of great benefit to her clients. She does not sell "stock" freestyles as she believes all freestyles are personalized for each horse and rider. All freestyles are custom. Educational Benefits for both Riders and Auditors:
- Gain a greater understanding of the freestyle process and how freestyles are judged.
- See how the appropriate music can enhance the horse's gaits.
