The dressage freestyle is one of the most exciting parts of dressage. Dressage freestyles, similar to freestyles in figure skating, incorporate compulsory figures into a test choreographed to music specifically chosen by the rider to have a "feeling" they present to the public. Dover explains that "what appears in the end is a totally synchronized dance between rider and horse." These tests are exciting for the public to watch because they often feature popular music and invite the spectator "on a ride for six minutes into a fantasy that the rider is trying to express."
