We are delighted to introduce our Dressage Simulator for hire.
The Dressage Simulator accommodates riders of all levels, from beginners to the advanced. This horse allows you to practise advanced dressage movements, such as Piaffe, Passage and Half Pass and can also be used for basic arena work.
The fully interactive Dressage Simulator offers a revolutionary way to focus on skills and balance by viewing immediate visual feedback on seat position and riding movements. It is used worldwide by professionals and amateur riders as an essential aid to training.
Balance and position in the saddle are displayed on screen, allowing the instructor to analyse and assess what a rider is doing, using information also collected from the rein and leg sensors.
As well as basic groundwork, the Dressage Simulator allows riders to practice several pre-programmed tests or practice their own test. Each test is recorded and can then be played back afterwards for further analysis.
The auto-training routine is a firm favourite with instructors as it provides a meaningful and repeatable assessment of rider balance, bit contact and leg pressure through the gaits. It is excellent for assessing what a rider does in the saddle whilst moving completely automatically through walk, trot and canter. All sensor activity is recorded for 1 or 2 minutes, and results can be printed off afterwards.
Costs
For those using the simulator for the first time (or until fully trained), you will receive training with an instructor at a cost of £45.00 per 30-minutes.
Once trained, the cost to the individual would be £30 per 30-minutes.
Those who have been trained and are hiring the simulator for a clinic, the cost would be £25.00 per head.
