Dressage to Music - 'Getting Started' Demo

Area 13 is hosting a DTM demo at Belmoredean on Saturday 23rd March at 1 pm.

Robbie Carpenter will ride one of his top horses to professionally produced music, then two Area 13 riders will ride two very different RC horses to music supplied by the crowd, to demonstrate how to choose music.
As a group, the crowd, with Robbie's expert help, will put a floorplan together, then attempt putting together a bit of Pas de Deux.
