Read our guide to promoting your music. Recently, snippets of dressage freestyle routines have been showing up on TikTok, where users are delighted to realize how well they can be synced up to different songs - the horse’s hooves keeping perfect time with the beat. (The inclusion of “Money” begs the question whether it would be obnoxious or wryly ironic for the elitist sport to exclusively use songs about grabbing that cash with both hands.) Carina Cassoe Kruth of Denmark including a sampling of “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” And Sweden’s Therese Nilshagen included someone other than Adele singing “Set Fire to the Rain” when she should have just used actual Adele singing “Set Fire to the Rain.” (I’m not going to look into whether that’s a licensing issue.) Rodrigo Torres of Portugal rode to a mashup of orchestral versions of Pink Floyd songs. Jurado is back in Tokyo this year, with a different horse, and reportedly we were all robbed of another excuse to listen to the absolute banger by his failure to qualify for the individual freestyle. In 2016, Spain’s Severo Jurado rode into internet acclaim by choreographing his routine to Santana’s “Smooth” (mixed with Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life”). Most of the music selections on Wednesday night were unmemorable classical choices, but the trend of riding to recognizable songs is a few years old now. “Over the years, you know, we've struggled initially a little bit getting the spectators,” he said. And that's what I wanted to bring into the freestyle. If we have a party tonight, that's the music I'd be dancing to. Personally I like the upbeat dance music. “Sometimes the dramatic music and the quieter, more emotional music is popular. “There's always a different taste,” Peters said of trends in dressage freestyle music. The current freestyle routine has been a work in progress for the past year and a half, and just recently he took Kanye West’s “Fade” out. A former DJ who obsesses over detailed playlists for every part of his life (“showtime, chill time, relaxed tracks, then there's my one for my boat, when we go wake surfing”) he’s ridden in the past to David Bowie and Queen. Peters takes this particularly seriously. So it's gotten so incredibly more difficult and advanced.” “But now it's much more with the footfall of each trot step, of each canter stride, of each line change, each pirouette. “It used to be music to maybe just support some of the gaits,” Peters said. The performance opened to Robin Schultz and James Blunt’s “OK,” which Peters teared up talking about as a tribute to his wife - who would assure him that “it’s gonna be OK,” when he went through a dark period a few years ago.įrom there: snippets of “What is Love?” and a slowed-down version of Men Without Hats’ “Safety Dance.” (You probably know it as the “we can dance if we want to” song.) If it looked like Suppenkasper was feeling the beat, that’s the whole point. Olympian to medal since 1952 after winning silver in the team dressage, picked the song - or, rather, an acoustic remix of it - to be part of a medley for his individual grand prix freestyle dressage routine. And for a sport that struggles to attract the admiration, or even attention, of the demographic that dictates internet trends, going viral could be key to the future.Īt a spectacularly spacious venue just far enough outside the center of Tokyo to offer a glimpse of a skyline view on a breezy, blissfully temperate evening, Haddaway’s “What is Love?” played while a 56-year-old German-born USA rider danced, as it were, with a 13-year-old gelding named Suppenkasper.
But viral? Now that’s something Olympic dressage can aspire to.
