Jumping Simulator

Build jumping confidence with visual feedback on your approach, balance, take-off and landing

[@gailshmail3420]

Where can one get one of these dreamed of exercise machines?? Why aren't there whole rooms full of these at a health club????????????????????

[@kirstenguthrie3570]

RIGHT!!!!

[@mqm4098]

its VERY expensive, like over 14.000 euro’s or dolars for one .

[@kirstenguthrie3570]

WHY CAN'T YOU REPLY LATELY?!?!?! Anyway, I'm proud to say I can see things that she's doing wrong and how the fake horse is off. It's probably a good think she' on this practice thing first if she thinks she's going to take a warm blood in the arena with that seat hehe

[@miacampbell6111]

HEELS DOWN TOES UP BRO D:

[@cheyennehenley1696]

I wouldnt critisize her bc they are very different from real horses. These dont have the momentum and you dont realize how much it affects you until its not there.

[@Shiloh569]

I want one so when I can't go to the barn I'll just hop on xD

[@strangethings7180]

guys you're hating on her! I ride horses and own 2, they are very different than fake horses. if you are a rider then you know what it's like to have an unbalanced horse especially while jumping and its hard. give this girl a chance! yes she could be better but honestly she is trying and is probably a great rider. remember you were learning once and you have been through alot so don't place hate on this girl!!!

[@taijaaspegren7126]

this+oculus rift=so cool!!:D

[@ArinThomas1980]

I want one and a cutting horse one! What amazing product this is. I rode hunter/jumpers and had many falls, but this can also be a great confidence builder for those that have had bad falls in the past and slowly recovering. A product for people to experience what it is like to jump a horse. When you take a lesson you don't learn to jump the first day it takes weeks to learn to jump a horse.

[@elliexoxo747]

You can't criticise her. She's sat on a robot. You can't expect her to be riding perfectly.

[@abbierennison6353]

If people were watching me, I could never do that because i'd feel so embarrassed if I fell of a horse simulator

[@mylittleponytrooperx]

If I had one of these in my bedroom I would be the happiest person ever :P

[@Caroline-Joy]

Oh, and price, I think around £35,000. brand new, don't quote me though. And she is wearing a hard hat because there is as much of a chance of falling off one of these as there is a live horse!

[@Caroline-Joy]

My cousin has one of these simulators for dressage training at Wildwoods Riding Center near Epsom Surrey, if anyone wants to try it out!

[@Quotes24Boo]

'It's not enough to know how to ride, you must know how to fall too'

[@arisas.8847]

C'est pas encore vraiment le mouvement exact du cheval, mais la technologie avance !! Les sauts et le galop sont beaucoup trop lents !!!

[@funnysummerfun]

You gotta admit, this would make one hell of a video game

[@surkaka]

Santa have to bring me one!!!

[@mishaelwilson2257]

She's the best she's the best ever

[@maditaj90]

Want that in my bathroom :D

[@karottenkatja]

If she would ride my horse this way.. she would ride it one time and never again! Oh my god. This never feels like real riding, does it?!

[@mrsdesmond1]

I recently broke my arm & cannot ride for another two months. I want one of these! This is great for people who want to ride but cannot because of injury or they do not have a horse. Maybe it would not teach a person correct riding skills yet, but it sure looks FUN and DEFINITELY WOULD build up self esteem & a desire to take professional lessons & learn to ride the real thing correctly. I think this machine is a GREAT and POSITIVE simulator if one can afford to use it somewhere, or even own it.

[@JasperIsaLittleHorse]

Some people think this is great, some people hate this. Personally, i would try this just to try it.....but nothing could ever REALLY simulate a horse. They aren't that smooth and Jumpers can be some of the most high strung horses and hardest to ride out there so the temperment of this "horse" really doesn't match what a true setting would be like. There is a reason horses are called "Beasts" and not "Machines".

[@TheRachelTurley]

If you read the description the machine can be used to build confidence. Plus it produces feed back so then she could know her balance was off you her hands were too stiff. It annoys me how everyone is so critical and a true horse riding expert on youtube. I never knew 1/2 my flaws until someone videoed me riding.

[@Cheesekake343]

I agree it's NOWHERE near a real horse, there is no movement under that saddle. It's just the general back and forth movement. Plus I agree with arielsun99, if jumping was that easy you'd see everyone doing it! But boring? Not at all, I would LOVE one of those in my house for my own entertainment when I couldn't get out to ride! LOL

[@TwinkiesCanFly]

did you not notice how ridiculously weird the jump stimulator was? While her equitation isn't perfect in the least - a good portion of her faults can probably be blamed on the fact that the jump lasts about 5 seconds and all of it's quite off to be honest. So before you criticize you should take into account the fact that it's not a real horse - so you can't expect real riding.

[@PositivelyPony]

This is a awesome Simulator you can ride a horse without the hastle! No, grooming, cleaning their stall of feeding! But, I think it would get boring since it's not a real horse. The only way to have fun is to work with a actual horse cleaning the stalls can be fun it your active like me! :)

[@TheYoghurt42]

Haha that looks like fun. I wouldn't put reins on it though if you are training your position, it's easy to learn to lean on the reins if there's no mouth attached on the other end! But then you wouldn't want to translate that to your actual riding.

[@HBrownHorseTraining]

looks like it puts too much effort in the "landing" phase and not enough in the "take off" and it is REALLLY slow! what horse jumps and canters like that... still it looks fun! I wanted something like that when I was a kid

[@Dawnpaw]

@smoeltjeslover She actually looks like she would be a great rider on a real horse - it's hard to make simulators move realistically - its really not fair to judge her like that.

[@s.lawrence9736]

That simulator is crap hello it doesn't take four seconds for the horse to take of then land and not even a fresian has a canter that is as uphill as that simulator

[@GallBen]

Ok just saying see all of the lack of accuracy in reality she would fall or miss and btw no it's not like real riding because all those horse things are the same

[@4TheLoveOfPoniesX]

@Horses2945 She's half seating the canter. She did try sitting it at the end, but the saddle is too small so it must've been hard for her to sit properly.

[@TheHorsecrazy1]

its a good simulator and that but please tell me when you find a horse that jumps that small and softly even so i would still want one lol

[@leveringtori]

I only wish i had access to such a wonderful tool.I am able riding everyday and still would very much love to learn on one of these.I have been riding for 15 years and still have much room for improvement.Although my instructor is very good at her job sometimes i am very bad at listening.Shes instructing me one thing and my horse decides we will do another.Having my instructor right beside me on a stationary horse would just be fantastic.I think you guys have created a truly amazing product.

[@Myselfandme999]

Plus, this opens up the possibility for an instructor to correct mistakes in the rider's positions right away. He/She can for example push the rider's leg into the correct position, instead of having to maybe film the rider and horse jumping and giving instructions when they have finished. It's a great learning experience that doesn't even put stress on an actual horse. Great for the first few experiences!

[@Chantwizzle]

She also appears to be a cross country rider. They tend to ride up out of their seat. As they're running and jumping. They perch like a jockey. Also, as a jumper rider, I can tell you that different people ride differently. Hunter riders also have a more forward seat. Most European riders sit very deep and heavy in the saddle. Maybe do some research before you start having a go at a company that's just trying to help people.

[@HondoMackieHorses]

shes most likely a beginner. I noticed she was balancing a little on the reins though. I think thats one of the draw backs of this machine. Its just hard plastic and the horse doesnt go crazy when you pull too hard(it should though, that would be more realistic) also could put her shoulders back a bit. BUT other than that she is doing pretty good. And yeah, it is a machine. sooo thats probably a little different

[@TheLadyJFox]

Cool idea! Doesn't replace actual experience, but I see some value to it as a training aid. Just from watching, it didn't look like the simulator distinguished from leads while switching from right or left handed turns before or after jumps. That or I couldn't tell from the video. Either way, I think if you were able to simulate leads on that thing, including the moment of the change, you're customers may get more out of the simulator. Just food for thought. Wish you the all the best. :)

[@silverpurkat]

@Pcj996211 Actually I like it, it has different speeds especially slower speeds which is good for experienced riders who r coming back from an injury or new young riders learning to jump. I like it for those reasons even thou it never replaces the real thing it certainly builds the muscles to self support which a real horse would need. Eventing riders r in a 2 pt when cantering across the field to reserve enegry for the horse & u r not allowed to hang on the face either the sensors correct u.

[@manderlyequestrian6631]

If she is doing everything so badly, im glad that she is learning on one of these machines than a horse. Its good its teaching her, not everybody is born perfect! And sometimes its easier to learn on one of these than a horse, as it least its predictable and gives you a feel for it, before going on the real thing!

[@curtispacheco6417]

First off, you say that it is affordable, yet you don't say how much it is. Yeah that gives me a lot of confidence. But I will admit it looks like fun, still I would rather learn on a real horse, simulator for training maybe but I would rather build a relationship with the real thing that can show that same affection back rather than a machine.

[@mosstestful]

actually, she follows really well with her elbows, has a great seat, and a perfect leg position that doesn't move. also, how can you judge someone's riding when they aren't even riding a real horse? Next time you want to sound smart online, try actually knowing what you are talking about. And don't be so rude either.

[@GogglesRequired]

Hardly. Her lower leg is not too far forward nor too far back and is stable. She's looking ahead keeping her shoulders back. The only thing I would say is theres too much pressure down the reins but balance comes with practice and by the looks of this, she isn't far from a great position. I think maybe you need to learn a few things.

[@eventandagilityadyct]

If you want to improve, you need to push yourself. If you push yourself, you will occasionally fail. Failure in horseback riding often equals falling off. So, yes, if you never fall off, you may have pretty fabulous skills... but I bet you have to fall off a lot to get those skills.

[@whatyallcallsouthernanddow9746]

If that was a real horse she would of already fell off. She is leaning forward way too much before the jumps and if it was a real horse she would be yanking the mouth too much. Sloppy riding. And the simulator is nothing like what real jumping is. I ride western and even i can see this.

[@mermere98]

i dont know if this simulator has one but it would be really cool if it meaured the pressure and pulling in the mouth for riders who dont know if they are pulling on the riens to much or to little to communicate effectivly and to notice if they are jerking on the reins!

[@xXxbmthxXx]

confused why people are talking about 'how its nothing like the real thing, doesnt show the horses the personality/smell :S/ etc'. It a simulator! It says in the description to build confidence and practice. Its a great idea! Would love to have a go on this! :D

[@oliviabenedetto1645]

That is tremendously rude to commet such things. The owner of this video is very right. Even if it isn't a REAL horse it doesn't matter, its a SIMULATION, look up the definition, its not the EXACT thing as riding a horse but its SIMILAR.

[@narlirakindara938]

timing a little off but it good to get people use to horse back riding before put them on a real horse. Love put friend on one those, she great rider but lost her confidence in jumping after smashing her jaw. would be nice see her jump again.

[@whatyallcallsouthernanddow9746]

Sweetie Try The Real Thing,Not A Simulator. If You Wanna Learn To Ride Go Outside In Your Backyard Or At The Barn. Only Way Your Gonna Learn Is If You Get On One and Ride It And Fall Off A Few Times... A Simulator is nothing like a horse!

[@chloemeenan7665]

that is one of the worse ways to learn how to ride if you want to learn find a riding school and learn to ride. Also there is no fun in using a simulator to do jumping because it wont refuse the jump nor will it do anything else

[@fiessy11]

@XxEpicRiderxX I have a joke around the barn that im going to jump our L-A-Z-Y Percheron (you need legs of steel to make her walk) over a 4 foot fence. The only problem is, i only got as far as trotting. Guess im going to have to wing it

[@ThatSophie95xX]

they need to simulate an overexcited horse, they're always great fun to get round a jumping course xD

[@6inthestix]

i must admit.. it does each you to look up! .. something many riders including myself often dont do :P

[@Only1HighlighterLeft]

Its not supposed to be your one and only horse, just something to help you fix your riding. It is good for having an instructor being able to correct your up close. It isn't meant to actually be your horse, just a training aid.

[@littledrawingfan]

When I grow up I wanna make something like this(More realistic stuff, movements or whatever) About both riding styles :3 then you could choose which one to pick or which one you'd like to ride now :3

[@stretchthehorse1]

I think this is a great idea. I think it looks like the hang time is too long and I would think there should be more motion in the head and neck. Just saying... I need to work on my jumping position!!!

[@christinadelvescovo4924]

I ride Hunter/Jumper and I was always told once you fall off you are a real rider lol. Honestly if you don't fall off at least once in your life...hmm idk props to you I guess? lol

[@SveaCx]

My cousin played one of these but it was a racing one and when the horse went really fast she would laugh super hard and tug on the reins. I thought she was going to fall off.

[@JazzieAndFriends]

When I started riding again a few years ago I was going to go to this stable but when they said they would try me on one of these first, I was like hell no. So I found a different stables.

[@maranothamcelhinny6598]

its called a two-point you have to ride like that. I did jumping and its a two point she is not too far forward. and she isnt yanking on the mouth she is using cues. Just saying

[@margaretwood18]

I'm not a jumper I ride western in barrel racing but if its for improvement then that's why it's so smooth if u wanted to make position better you would want it smoother all I have to say

[@JumpingPerfection121]

Even if it's not the same as the real thing I'd LOVE to have one. They look like so much fun!

[@louistomlinson1Dilov]

Excuse me but she can not drive and epecially not jump i'm a real jumper and have a great understanding of them is still a lot of practics and a real horse not that thing

[@SignaTB]

looks as if it may encourage you to just hang on the reins for support because unlike a real horse it wont shake it's head if you are taking a dead feel on the reins

[@beccaluvzponies6099]

sit back when your not going over a jump because when you do this on a real horse, the horse thinks your telling it to go fast so sit straight and curve your back a little

[@GirlnPointer]

@Diggubuh I'm not sure about the jumping simulator, but the polo pony simulator I tried felt as close to the real thing as you could get without it being an actual horse.

[@angelrose9991]

I would want a cantering and a jumping one like these but I'm guessing they cost a fortune

[@TwinkiesCanFly]

I see - I still think terrible is a tad far fetched for such a difficult jump stimulator.

[@holly.roskell9430]

I wish I had one and they didn't cost so much! In the video she was doing ok and it's good practice but it doesnt act like a real horse but it would b cool to try

[@katielatham799]

btw she's not sitting cuz in cross country u r suppose to be at an in hand gallop and if u know anything about riding ur not suppose to sit an in hand gallop

[@Only1HighlighterLeft]

They have Western ones?! I want to try the jumping/dressage ones, mainly because I am doing Western now but I did do English years ago and I miss jumping sooo much

[@MissMeowTheZombieCat]

It would be good to point out that if it were a real horse she would be pulling on the mouth the entire thing. There was no release at all, not even at the jumps.

[@joey310390]

this doesn't look anything like real riding to me. the horse moves way to slow when jumping. still, I would like to try this. :D

[@SovereignForever]

This is to help people with their riding like positions with your feet your back etc

[@idax4953]

Why does she stand up in the saddel, right before the jumps? It's hard for the horse!! She should only stand up in the sadel, over the jumps..

[@imr83]

there is no simulator that replace the real thing.. the best way to learn and practice is on a horse.. but that is ok if is only for some fun.. =)

[@03firefly]

@caaandworld It just gives you feedback for position. So when you're on a horse, you can focus more on riding the horse than on your position.

[@showjumpingchick1994]

We had a dressage one at college (Milton) and it cost £40.000 and it broke 24/7 lol

[@TheMisssEva]

í've done it on equitana ,and it was so nice! i've searching for one off these things , but the Netherlands doesn't seem to have one...

[@HollyRed123]

Looks good fun!!! Do you mind giving me a few details whereabouts i could find one of the jumping simulators in the UK??? Thanks again xxx

[@bellabelliboo]

It looks really great to me, except that it is moving a LOT slower than it would in real life... It's almost as if the speed is in slow-mo.

[@horsesaremylife31899]

I want one just to have one LOL Ii don't even jump I ride western and don't have a horse so I will settle for anything close to a horse LOL

[@MinockerSpanichle]

Oh no. I would feel like I'm cheating on my horse xD *But, she'd be happy knowing I was saving her the hassle of my training errors.

[@cdrover93]

Only problem for me, it's missing the random leaps to the side and spooks at shadows that are usually included in my courses... lol

[@EquineAlex]

It's easy when you start but when you set the mode higher you will get refusals and spooking which makes it hard to stay on to.

[@erysinspace6728]

yea but u won't learn diagonals with posting or leads and u program it to buck or what ever their is no trust or bond it sucks

[@ILUVRISK]

i think u should staighten out ur back a little more and curve it cause right now its kinda rounded...i want this thing :(

[@ponypics01]

i dont know what it feels like, other than i did do a raceing one a few years back, but it doesnt look very realistic?

[@Choppytrotty]

Gaaah this was at HOYS but I missed it.. There were so many people there wish I'd done it! They did dressage though:L

[@mygnomies1]

hi there Racewoodltd, i was wondering, do you have to buy these things, or can you go to a place and pay to use them?

[@LopinSlow64]

One question, why is she wearing a helmet...wow that horse is SO gonna buck her off if she fell off...oh goodness O.O

[@maliwahtallhei]

The difference between a contraption like this and a real horse is that real horses buck, rear, spook, and run away.

[@Niallsdaring0506]

She's not even sitting in to the saddle, she's rocking backwards and forwards and she needs to sit up straight....

[@horsesforever09]

cool. I really want one of those to practice on. How much does a walk, trot, canter and jumping one cost? Thanks!

[@MyHorsesAreFat]

i think my reaction would be to kick coming into the jumps xD haha !

[@willowsunstorm764]

Me: Hey dad, can I get a horse? Dad: No. Me: How about a jumping simulator? Dad: RIGHT ON! LETS GO GET ONE!!!!!

[@kaceyracey1]

shes actually probably a good rider its just that the machine is probs like real jerky and hard to balance on

[@foureyeddragon00]

I had the same thoughts...was the simulator on a setting to jump in slow motion? Doesn't seem very realistic.
