Satisfied Dressage Freestyle Clients

    As a musical freestyle designer, I have designed freestyles for every level and for over a decade.  These are at every level from Training Level Pony Clubbers to IPEC to Grand Prix Selection Trial Riders.  I have also designed Pas de Deux as well as Quadrilles.  Exhibitions are a favorite of mine to design.

USDF National Pas de Deux Champions Whit Watkins and Margaret Fox

    Here are some of my clients whom have ridden their freestyle to the Champions list.  If you have a Luna Tunes Freestyle that I have missed on this page, please let me know.  I will be happy to add you star performance to the Champion list.  If you have a testimonial, photo or You Tube link, please e-mail to me and I will add that too.  Also, check out my Facebook page.

    My highest recommendation comes from two-time Olympian Hilda Gurney.  I have designed many freestyles for her and her students.  She has scored up to 77% with her Grand Prix freestyle, aboard her stallion Leonidas.  She was the 2002 California Dressage Society's Grand Prix Freestyle Champion and USDF Region 7 Reserve Champion.  At the Del Mar National Show that year, she received a standing ovation from the crowd after performing her freestyle during the USET Grand Prix Selection Trials.  She also rides his son Lumiance with an Intermediate I freestyle I designed for her.

    Another high recommendation comes from USDF Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medalist A. Whit Watkins of Texas.  I have design four freestyles for her.  From 2000 through 2011, Whit has won numerous USDF National and Region 9 and Region 7 freestyle championships with the freestyles I have designed for her.

   Karen Ball of European Equestrian Concepts also gives my services a high recommendation.  She is the 2007 USDF Reg. 7 Grand Prix Freestyle Champion on a freestyle I designed for her on Luciano.  I have also designed freestyles for several of her Young Riders and FEI Juniors, including MacKenzie Pooley, NJYRC double Bronze freestyle medalist and Emily Tears USDF Reg. 7 and CDS Fourth Level Freestyle Champion.  She and her students have been extremely successful at National Championships.

    Another recommendation comes from Olympian Stephan Peters. I have designed freestyles for several of his students.  These include Young Rider's and USET Selection Trial riders.

    I have designed other Young Rider Team members freestyles with excellent results.  This includes 2004 Individual and Team Gold Medalist, Christina Beal on Ray Ace.  In 2007, Emily Tears on Luciano was fifth at the National Championships.

    FEI Junior team members are also required to perform a freestyle in order to qualify for the National Championships.   In 2007, two of my Junior clients were successful at the National Championships.  MacKenzie Pooley on Jonkara won the Bronze Medal and Holly Bergay on Soliloquy was fifth. In 2008, MacKenzie again won the freestyle Bronze Medal on her redesigned freestyle.

   FEI PARA Many IPEC riders try out for the World Equestrian Games and the Paralympics.  They do need a freestyle at the Grade they are riding. All four of these clients qualified for the World Equestrian Games,  Holly Bergay, AZ, Jonathon Wentz, TX, Jennifer Baker, OH, and Kim Decker, VA all qualifed for the WEG. However, many PARA riders enjoy riding freestyles just because they are fun.

    Not all of my freestyles are designed for Selection Trial riders.  The majority of the freestyles I have designed are for the Amateur  who wants to have fun and do something different while showing.  There are also a number of trainers riding Luna Tunes freestyles.  These riders are in  California, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas,  Kentucky, Kansas, Ohio, New Jersey, Alabama, Iowa, Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington.

There are You-Tube links on my "Luna Tunes" page if you would like to watch a few of the freestyles I have designed for myself and others.

    I will be showing my Grand Prix Freestyle on my Trakehner mare, Larisa.
