Mechanical Horse Simulator
The Horse Simulator
The Racewood Dressage Horse
Simulator is our newest addition to Cullinghood Equestrian Centre. It
is life sized, standing around 15.2hh and like a real horse takes every
different type of saddle; GP, Dressage, etc. It has six paces and it is
sensitive to leg, hand and seat pressure. The horse is capable of
replicating complicated dressage movements, such as Piaffe, Passage,
Half Pass & Flying Changes. The simulator is surrounded by mirrors,
with a tv screen in front of you showing your movements whilst riding.
Perfect your Riding with the Interactive Computer
The
horse simulator can be used with an interactive computer screen that
enables the rider to actually ride a dressage test. Alternatively, you
can practise riding school figures, transitions and dressage movements.
Much can be learned from recording the performance and replaying it
immediately on screen. The interactive computer also relays your body
position and how your body moves with the Mechanical Horse Simulator.
If you are one sided or too heavy in the saddle the computer will
highlight this on the screen. This then helps as an aid to yourself and
your instructor on correcting any inbalances.
How does it help?
Where a real horse may become
tired and unstimulated, this horse performs to order. 'Unlearning' a
'wrong' posture can be difficult. The mechanical horse gives the rider a
chance to practise a different balance taking this feel to the real
horse.
The simulator is excellent for assessing/improving technique in
experienced riders, both for jumping and flatwork. It also helps build
confidence in nervous or 'returning' riders, as it removes the
unpredictability of riding a living animal.

Dressage Riders
Event Riders
Endurance GB Elite Squad Riders
Para riders.
