RACEWOOD DRESSAGE SIMULATOR
READY TO RIDE
Whether you are a complete beginner or riding at an advanced level, using an equine simulator is an invaluable way of pinpointing asymmetry and working on biomechanical issues that may be holding you back.
The improvement of your posture and position in the saddle allows the horse to move more freely and accelerates muscle memory, improving your coordination and riding performance.
​
Specialist sessions are available to support rider confidence issues and injury rehab.
​
The simulator is currently being rehoused; please contact us to be informed when he is settled in his new home and ready to share his skills with riders.
