KDA Luna Tunes Freestyle Clinic

Venue:

Flying Cross Farm, Goshen, KY

Rider Fees:

$200 each for two riding sessions. If rider's decide they would like Luna Tunes to design a full freestyle for them, they will receive a $150 as a credit toward the cost of their freestyle.

Freestyles Costs:

COMPLETE PROFESSIONAL FREESTYLE

This option is for the rider that needs everything for a complete freestyle.

 It includes music selections emailed to you, design, professional editing, tempo matching, musical phrasing, choreography and e-mail of your custom freestyle. A one time adjustment for timing purposes on the music and/or choreography is included within 90 days of receiving the freestyle. A video of you riding the freestyle in a correct size dressage arena is required for this adjustment. An adjustment is adding or deleting music for timing purposes only. Changes of choreography, phrasing, or using different music after the freestyle has been designed will incur additional fees. This is extra work for me. Just like when you take your horse back to your vet, you will be charged for extra services.

 

Prices depend on the level you desire:

$600 WDAA Introductory Level

$700 PARA 1/2, Training & WDAA Basic

$750 First Level & WDAA Level One

$800 PARA 3, Second Level, WDAA Level Two

$900 PARA 4, Third Level, FEI JR , WDAA Level 3

$1000 Fourth Level, FEI YR, WDAA Level 4

$1250 Intermediate I, WDAA Level 5

$1500 Grand Prix

With this option, the client must supply a 50% deposit which $150 of clinic fee goes towards.
