Find the perfect music for your dressage freestyle, matched to your horse's natural rhythm.
DressageTunes is your music library for dressage freestyles. We help you discover tracks that match your horse's tempo, organize them by competition level, and guide you through the music licensing process.
We provide music recommendations, BPM tools, and editing services. We don't sell or distribute copyrighted music - we help you find it, match it to your horse, and edit it to perfection.
Use our metronome tool to measure your horse's walk, trot, canter, and passage tempo. Just tap along while watching them move!
Filter by your competition level and paces needed. We'll show you tracks that match your horse's BPM - with badges showing how close the match is.
Each track shows what license you'll need based on your competition type. Green = ready to use, Yellow = simple form, Red = publisher permission.
Request a custom freestyle edit - we'll sync the music to your choreography, adjust tempos for each pace, and deliver your competition-ready file.
Here's the deal: You're responsible for getting the right license to use music at competitions. We guide you through it, but you do the licensing. That's how it works everywhere in the dressage world!
Royalty-free or pre-cleared tracks. Legal worldwide, no extra steps. Best choice!
Most pop songs. Quick form or 0-50 EUR fee for national shows.
Special tracks like viral covers. Email publisher, 80-400 EUR, takes 4-8 weeks.
Any song for practice at home or local unaffiliated shows. No license needed!
You get your edited music immediately for practice. Complete the competition license only when you actually enter a show!
Different competitions have different licensing requirements:
Unaffiliated events. No license needed - use any music!
Official shows in your country. Simple license - usually free or 0-50 EUR.
Riders from many countries. Worldwide license - ClicknClear 10-25 EUR or royalty-free.
Same as CDI, plus broadcast rights if on TV.
Every country has different names for the same levels - like shoe sizes! UK "Novice" = US "First Level" = German "L". We've mapped 40+ countries to a universal 12-level system (0-11) so you always find tracks for YOUR level.
Competing abroad? Just select your destination country and we'll show you the equivalent level. A UK "Elementary" rider is a German "M" rider - the music requirements stay the same.
Intro/Prelim: Walk + Trot only
Novice+: Add Canter
Grand Prix: Add Passage
PSG and above are international - same everywhere in the world!
BPM = Beats Per Minute - it's how we match music to your horse's natural rhythm. Every horse moves at their own tempo!
55-65 strides/min
Track: 110-130 BPM (half-time)
140-160 strides/min
Track: 140-160 BPM (direct)
95-110 strides/min
Track: 95-110 BPM (direct)
58-68 strides/min
Track: 116-136 BPM (half-time)
We can adjust track tempo by up to ±10% during editing without quality loss. Beyond that, music sounds unnatural - so we hide tracks that are too far off.
Tap along to your horse's movement. Select your horse type for a starting estimate, then fine-tune. Save BPMs for each pace.
Browse all tracks with filters: Level, Paces, Genre, Mood, Instruments. Use the BPM filter to find tracks matching your horse.
Curated freestyle ideas, themed collections, and album medleys. Great for inspiration when you're not sure what you want!
Save tracks to your profile. When ready, request a custom edit - we'll sync everything to your choreography.
