Work​ Process

At the heart of the freestyle is a story, and Collier believes that every combination has a story to tell. She partners with pairs from all over the globe, at all levels, using cutting-edge technology to craft and build these immersive stories.

 

Inspired by music that moves and  Inspired by the horses that partner with us, Collier has become a master storyteller creating freestyles worth dancing to.​

 

Years ago Three Wishes was somewhat accidentally founded.

 Simply, with the thought to create a story encompassing music, horse, and rider. To tell a story through new cutting-edge software programs and a few simple steps. 

 

And that's proven to be an innovative approach. Three Wishes has grown to be one of the top freestyle companies in the USA,  but strives to make a musical story for you and your horse. So, what are your three wishes?

 

How Three Wishes approaches the work:

​

 

First Meeting:

I love to hear about your story. Let's sit down and get to know each other. Let's talk about team, choreography, music, goals, timing, and how your freestyle will be crafted. Afterwards, I'll have you send me a video of a ride, so I can see what you two look like as a pair.  
​

Music Demos:
Taking the video you sent me, I'll pull music that I feel would fit underneath it, along with any music you may want to see. I send it back for you to review, and from there, we have a conversation. What works? What doesn't work? This is probably the most fun part of the process, but it can also take a few rounds of demos before we find "the one." 
​

Choreography:
We get to sit down together (in person or virtually over Zoom) and create a fully customized choreography that highlights your horse's strengths while setting them up for the best possible execution of the weaker elements. The choreography will be USDF, FEI, or WDAA compliant. Once that is approved, video yourself riding to the choreography in a regulation-sized arena and send it over so I can start building!
​

Freestyle drafts:
I'll put put all the pieces together and send you back the choreography video with your music draft underneath it. This is where we continue to refine until you give the final sign-off. From there, the music is considered "locked" and we finalize it.
​

Deliverables: 

You will receive a digital MP3 file, a digital Dropbox link to your music, and upon request, CDs.

 

Continued Support:

I am here to help you through any and all things freestyle-related (such as reviewing practice run-throughs,  walking you through soundchecks, show check-ins, etc.). Generally speaking, I'm "on call" for you for the lifetime of the freestyle. Should you need any tweaks or edits musically or to the floorplan, those are included in the cost of the freestyle as well.
