Whether you are a student of riding or an Instructor you know that good consistent school horses are invaluable. A school horse must be patient, willing, cooperative and alert yet calm. He must be physically responsive to the aids and balanced and rhythmic in all of his gaits. The "spirited" horse has plenty to teach a seasoned rider, but when dealing with new riders it helps to have a trustworthy mount.

Imagine a horse that never has an off day, never spooks,tires,or refuses. He also needs no hay, grain or bedding and never needs a vet or a farrier. He can build your confidence, perfect your position, and get you in top riding shape. Sound to good to be true?







Meet my latest dream horse from Racewood Simulators. The first WALK, TROT AND CANTERING SIMULATOR in the world. This is the first time a simulator has automatically changed from a trot to a canter by kick of the leg, just like the real horse it goes faster with applied pressure from the heels, the first kick will make the horse walk a second a trot and kick again to get the cantering action.

This Robohorse could be an awesome teaching tool for riders wanting to develop skills, confidence and stamina. I wouldn't even mind having one in my living room for exercise or a sweet party attraction. The only catch is they cost about as much as a new Lexus, and the nearest manufacturer is in Canada. For now I'll have to wait. Unless they come out with a less expensive version for those of us on a Hyundai budget...
