Get Some Rhythm : Free Online Guide

Posted October 1st by Erica K. in The Art Of..., Touch

Wondering if you have good timing, good rhythm? Wondering why I am writing something that perhaps has more in common with music than riding a horse? Good question! Riding is so well connected to music and dance, but that connection is so easily forgotten. The way in which we move our body, the timing of our actions, their direction and the energy behind them all influence the horse on a level that is beyond that of mathematic figures or scientific theory.

So, I found this handy little online test to see what kind of rhythm we have. This Free Online Rhythm Test should be done in Internet Explorer browsers, or with an external metronome if you don’t have sound on your computer.

What were your results? My Rhythmicity Index (RI) = 68.5 < < < <

What was yours?

Oh, and they even have an online video demonstrating how to do the test.
