About Us
Hi I'm Lucy, I have been using Riding Simulators for the last 18 years. Starting out teaching on other peoples before taking the leap and buying my own 'Barney' in 2017.
In 2024 'Roo' arrived, an updated more advanced version of Barney. The biggest difference between the two is that Roo has a screen which provides real time data for the rider.
When I started working with horses I never could have imagined where it would lead to. Using the Simulators in my coaching has given me a greater understanding of both horse and rider. Only having to focus on the rider I have been able to really understand the differences in learning styles and how that translates into riding. Carrying this approach into my coaching on real horses i have seen first hand how a clear, confident rider can communicate with the horse.
I feel very passionately that good coaching should be available for all riders however you learn, whatever your background.
I love watching people realise that they can ride and it was simply a case of finding the right route for them.
The Riding Simulator
Roo is a life sized mechanical horse. She walks, trots, canters, and can even turn her hoof at dressage movements such as piaffe and half pass.
The Riding Simulator can be controlled by the instructor or by the leg and rein sensors which give the feel of riding a real horse.
The simulator will do any transition you ask it to, moving smoothly between the paces.
The screen provides real time feedback showing the riders position in the saddle, pressure on the reins and control of the leg.
There are several software options on the screen including a countryside hack, a dressage arena and a rider scan giving you instant feedback on your position.
The Simulator is the perfect training aid providing a safe controlled environment to focus on yourself.
