I have to say that I was a bit skeptical about the Equicizer simulating the way a horse moves, but I got to meet 'Lilly' for the first time the other day, and I was really impressed by it.  I hopped on for a few minutes, and it really amazed me how much the motion feels like a real horse.  I didn't get down and look at the mechanics under it, but whatever is under there really works!  I still can't get over it having a real 3 beat canter! 

 

Anyway, I really think this is going to be a great asset to the riding program.  It will be great for days when the unpredictable Texas weather makes riding in the area unsafe, and I can also see the great benefit for clients who are unable to mount real horses, either because of physical limitations, or because they may be intimidated by the real animals.

 

Really, it is a spectacular piece of workmanship, and later that day my sore legs can attest to it being a good workout too!
