TESTIMONIALS:
Dressage Simulator
“I was pleasantly surprised how realistic the ride was when I tried it. It helps the rider to learn correct seat and position, timing of the aids, even how and when to make half halts. The ‘horse’ helps by giving the rider the correct feel in self carriage, the responsiveness and the rhythm that is only achieved by the well trained Dressage horse. It is an invaluable training tool.”
David Hunt (FEI Dressage committee member, President International Dressage Trainer Club, President British International Dressage Trainers Foundation, British Dressage Director of Training).
“I found it very helpful to ride the Dressage Simulator. Working through some movements on Luke and with Barbro assisting me, I could concentrate on myself and what I was doing, instead of having to train my horse at the same time. That gave me the tools to perform the movement correctly… I recommend lessons on Luke to anyone that wants to improve their riding and wants to understand how they effect the horse while riding.’
Ulla Hakanson (6 time Olympic rider for the Swedish team, 2 Bronze medals)

RDA / PATH:
“We use it with all levels of disability, from the first introductory steps, through assessing ability to paraolympic riders improving their seat.”
Karen Tompson (Kesteven Ridability)
“These simulators have proved invaluable to Disabled Riding Groups. Watching riders using different muscles that I am sure they did not even know they had, is proving of huge benefit.”
Deborah Hall; Manager, Chigwell Riding Trust for Special Needs

Racing Simulator testimonials
"It's fantastic to ride. It tests your balance, strength and fitness and reacts extremely closely to a real horse in a race situation."
Alan Munro, professional Jockey, (talking about the MK9 Racehorse simulator)
"This gives young Jockeys practise for riding a finish which previously they could only get in a race. If it doesn't improve jockeys by half a dozen lengths, nothing will - every stable should have one."
Martin Pipe, renowned Racehorse trainer, talking about the MK1 Racehorse simulator.
"This really is the essential tool for anyone wanting to ride in races. It is the only way to work on technique and fitness in a controlled environment while simulating the real experience of being on a horse."
Sam Waley-Cohen, Jockey, talking about the RS simulator
"As an exercise physiologist based at Liverpool John Moores University, and who for the past 5-years has investigated jockeys and weight-making, it was essential to my PhD thesis to be able to measure jockey-performance in a sports-specific setting. Central to this research was the requirement to have a mechanical horse ergometer which accurately simulated real race-riding from a jockey’s perspective. The RS simulator manufactured by Racewood was the model chosen for this research, given that the jockeys collectively reported it to be ‘as close to the real thing as you can get’…Here, the RS simulator proved very reliable when a strain-gauge was fitted to the neck mechanism, which demonstrated a very high-standard of design within the model. I therefore fully endorse this horse ergometer as an essential piece of ‘kit’ for any jockey to use for both sports-specific fitness and assisting with regaining fitness when returning from injury."
Dr. George Wilson, BA (Hons), Cert Ed, MSc, PhD (Exercise Physiologist & Post-Doctoral Researcher)
"I am a jockey coach and highly recommend this new simulator, it is as close to the real thing as you could get"
John Reid (MBE) Experienced jockey and leading jockey trainer at the acclaimed Injured Jockey Fund
"We're really pleased with the product; it's been a fantastic piece of equipment for jockey training and fitness"
