ABOUT US

Tony Hobden has worked in the music industry as an engineer and record producer for over 20 years. He lectures in music production at degree level and continues to stay active and current within the industry.

 

With his musical training and wealth of experience producing music encompassing all genres he will work with you every step of the way to understand your individual requirements and goals for your freestyle music. He also has a passion for dressage and a keen interest in using unique design and skill to take freestyle music to a whole new level.

 

Tony has recorded and produced music for TV including adverts for “The North Face” and the theme tune for Sky One’s “The Café” and worked for the DMC label putting together mix CD’s. In addition Tony also was the principal sound editor for the feature film 'High Tide' in 2014 and has more recently been an editor for a BBC 1 prime time drama.

Tony's fiance, Kelly, is heavily involved in the equestrian industry and his  interest to bridge the gap between two very different worlds inspired the creation of Equidance.

Whilst there is a lot of competition in the 'dressage to music' arena, few offer the levels of expertise, flair and enthusiasm that Tony brings to his work.  Every piece is fresh and exciting.

ABOUT US

Tony Hobden has worked in the music industry as an engineer and record producer for over 20 years. He lectures in music production at degree level and continues to stay active and current within the industry.

 

With his classical musical training and wealth of experience producing music, encompassing all genres, he will work with you every step of the way to understand your individual requirements and goals for your freestyle music. He also has a passion for dressage and a keen interest in using unique design and skill to take freestyle music to a whole new level.

 

Tony's wife, Kelly works along side and heads up the customer service, website and social media side of the business along side her other commitments.  She is the person who will most likely help you chose your music if you order online.  Kelly now also runs most of the clinics across the country and designs most of Equidance's bespoke floorplans

Whilst there is a lot of competition in the 'dressage to music' arena, few offer the levels of expertise, flair and enthusiasm that Tony and Kelly bring to their work.  Every piece is fresh and exciting and Equidance arrangements are constantly evolving - constantly getting better and better to ensure you always get the best arrangement possible.

We don't just cut and shut music together - seamless editing is a phenomenal skill that takes years of training and you really can hear the difference.

MISSION

Dressage is an expensive sport and Tony and Kelly work together to ensure that prices are always affordable and quality is kept at a world class level.  A prelim rider should have the same quality arrangement as a Grand Prix rider and the same thought and love goes into each arrangement.  We don't believe in the 'money for old rope' philosophy - our freestyle equestrian pieces are creative and loved and setting the standard in freestyle music quality and accessibility.

The mission is to increase the quality of musical arrangements across the board - it is not enough to simply ride to a piece of music, now you really can make it your own and love every second of it.

We also want to increase uptake of freestyle dressage in both an unaffiliated and affiiliated arena.  Our floor  plans are inventive and designed to show your strengths - they are also, as with every Equidance product, affordable for every one. 

We don't want people to be satisfied with poor quality pieces that often come at a high price.  We also don't want people to think that the only option for them is to simply have 3 songs spliced together with some cross fades....its not 1995 you know ;-)

We use the latest Pro Tools software designed for professional audio editing - it's the same software that mainstream music is recorded and mixed with.  

Success! Message received. We are pretty quick at replying so hope to speak to you soon :-)
