What do you want from Dressage to Music
Do you want tailor made music that no one else has, music that fits your horse and transitions exactly. Do you want music composed for you, do you want music no one else can source, do you want to impress the judges? Do you want your music to win? Do you want music which is Unique, not patch and pasted music from a Karaoke Play list?

As the inventor of Dressage to Music as a competitive sport with Jennie Loriston-Clarke in 1980, Gaynor creates the music for riders to give joy and pleasure to the riders and the Demonstrations have always been in aid of charities, so over the years is proud do have donated to so many. Gaynor does not make any financial gain out of either creating the music or performing, as the sport she invented, it is something she feels should be created for beauty. 

As a multi-instrumentalist,  you can be really involved with your music, even choosing the instruments you would like your music to be played on. 

The costs she incurs in creating the music for everyone, cost of travel to venues, hire of venues are recouped from riders, but are nonprofit making, and could be considered her hobby. Gaynor as the inventor of the sport continues to enjoy creating the music, and gets immense pride from the performances of the riders using her music, whether they win or not.

Mark is a Cheshire-based freelance riding instructor specialising in confidence lessons, and runs his own yard from home. After breaking his back 2 years ago he made the decision to stop eventing and to concentrate on pure dressage - although in the past he has also hunted, team chased, and played polo. He currently has 7 horses competing at various levels, many of who will be appearing at the shows: the lovely 18.1hh Cash (Quick Casanova) was part of the team at Your Horse Live. He has been married to his husband Paul (who is a vet) for 13 years. Outside of horses Mark and Paul love their holidays and Mark has travelled all over the world - although his favourite is Goa. Mark is no stranger to fame (if not fortune), having appeared on an episode of Eggheads (he went head-to-head with Daphne but sadly lost!), and has been a contestant on "Holidaymaker" - a Sky 1 series set in Spain which is similar to Big Brother.

Jo has owned Spritey (D.P.U.K. Wurlwind) since early 2011 when he was a rising 4yo. He's the first horse she's trained all the way up to Grand Prix, and she can't imagine a more perfect partner - he's cheeky, cocky and clever and loves to get things right, which makes him loads of fun to train.
As a Welsh C x Hannoverian, he's basically an overgrown pony and is only 15.1hh - but in his head he's pretty mighty. Jo and Spritey have been helped on their journey to GP by the wonderful Adam Kemp and Justine Sole (and Spritey is very grateful that they give Jo all this help!) For her day job, Jo is an Associate Professor and Faculty Education Director at the University of Bristol - she fits in riding and training around this. She's also a List 2 British Dressage judge so is probably her own harshest critic when it comes to her riding! Nonetheless, she's still enormously proud of her special little horse. Spritey was one of the stars in the Your Horse Live series of shows in November 2024, and he showed the audience how much he was enjoying the huge crowd.

Jo Rose

Josephine Clewlow is a 21yr old self-taught Grand Prix rider. She moved to the UK from South Africa at the age of 12 with the goal of riding FEl ponies and competing at an international. This was achieved within 18 months. When she outgrew her pony at the age of 14 she partnered with Joey and together they muddled their way along learning new moves until they reached Grand Prix. In 2021 they came double PSG Silver Petplan Champions and in 2024 she won her first Regional title at Advanced Medium Gold riding to Gaynors wonderful composition titled "Joeys Creed". Jo is also a full time student at Staffordshire University studying a Sports Coaching degree and is aiming to complete a PGCE after that. She also works 2 jobs to support her riding. In 2023 Jo was diagnosed with endometriosis and had two surgeries for it. It has been a challenge regaining core strength in the saddle but Joey has always been by her side and gave her confidence when she was feeling weak. Together they have climbed mountains and at 19yrs old Joey is still fit and performing at his absolute best.

Chantelle bought Harvey, a 15hh Appaloosa cross Welsh Section D, in 2009 for pocket money as a happy hacker. Nearly 16 years later he has taken her from Prelim to qualifying for Grand Prix. Together they have competed at the Petplan Area Festival Championships at every level, numerous Winter Championships, and have represented regional teams at the Home International on several occasions.
Chantelle fits in riding around her job as a financial controller, and her family life - she is a military wife with a young son, but there's always time for her most wonderful yellow pony too. At 20 years old
Harvey is still improving and strutting his stuff - he had the most amazing time at Your Horse Live in November, and Chantelle can't
wait to showcase his highlights on the Gaynor's Dancing Horses tour.
