Demonstration to show the power of music on horses

The extraordinary power of music on horses will be demonstrated near Taunton on March 3 by Abigail Todd.

A professional musician and experienced rider, Abigail has her own recording studio where she produces music for schooling, relaxation and for freestyle dressage competition.

Abigail says: "Whether you want your horse to be more relaxed and focussed in groundwork sessions, whether you want your schooling sessions to be more productive and fun, or whether you want to compete in freestyle competitions, this demo will give you an insight into all aspects of music production for horses, from the musicians point of view, the riders point of view and most importantly, from the horses point of view."

The display is being held at the Conquest Centre, Taunton, on Wednesday, March 3, 7-9pm, with a private clinic on Saturday April 3.

Tickets for the demo are £8 for riding club or Pony Club members, children under 16 and Conquest Centre volunteers and £10 for others.

A one-hour clinic session for horse and rider is £50.
