Robot horse!!!

[sealygirly]

that does not look like it feels real at all ... :)

[sharx35]

Yummy. You are a VERY sexy lady. If only I could have borrowed that saddle after your ride!

[silleren]

OMG!!!! Gimme gimme gimme gimme!!! I want one!!!

[Anomaly003]

That is soooo freaking cool lol

[Equestrian08]

I think these are so cool, they look like fun! Even though as many have said, they wouldn't be near as fun as a real horse. And even though it was a mechanical horse, your equitation looked really good! :D

[poniesrcoolable]

where can u ride this robot horse

[HorseStoriesLove]

lol i want one of those in my room! when im not at the barn and stuff :P

[Jaberwalkie93]

What state was this in?

[horsefreak129]

@Jaberwalkie93 California ;)

[Love2knowIT]

if your riding dressage that is a good stirrup length. as long as you have heals down. its about using the right muscles.

[horsefreak129]

@Love2knowIT This is true.. x)

But I don't ride dressage, I do equitation, and hunters, so this was really long for me x)

[JoyceGurll]

@Love2knowIT You're right. I ride dressage and I think my stirrup lenght is the same. Like you said; it's about using the right muscles.

[Brykken]

when i learned to ride, they took away my stirrups and reins and taught me on a lunge on real horse. this thing it tight, but it takes away from the emotional experience of horseback riding...

[horsefreak129]

@Brykken oh, that's a good way to learn, I'm sure you got super strong super fast!

but don't worry.

this was just for fun. a one time deal.

i ride REAL horses. and I agree. it's not as fun on this as on a real horse

[Brykken]

@horsefreak129 still, i wish i could try one of those things out. it looks like a blast! =D

[CinnamonNeighNeigh]

ive been on this once and i went on it the fastest and it didnt stop lol

[HrseRider14]

I want one!!!

[12321horselover]

where is this? I want to try it sooo bad : D

[XxXjazzwazzerXxX]

my leg ALWAYS swings when my stirrups are long

[horsefreak129]

yeah.. its hard to keep your legs in place :p

[FunnyBubbles24]

this is so cool!! can u buy these somewhere?!?! i NEED one!!!

[horsefreak129]

i dont think youc an, unfortunately. that would have beeen cool though! :) but this lady and the horse was from like a dressage institute or somethign, so i dont think they can be owned :p

[allexx123]

You can buy these from "Racewood" in England, but you will need around $40,000 or more. They weigh 2 thousand Lbs, and have to be bolted down on concret I was told. And you need a 10 foot high ceiling.

[barbroaskupmark1]

Allexx123, I am the lady from CA that you corresponded with 2 years ago. It's true the Simulators at the time were priced a lot higher than today. The reason being the value of the US$ toward the British Pound. Then it was 2.13 and now it is 1.5. making the prices goes down.

The weight is not 2,000 lbs but around 1,200.

I'll be happy to provide you with more information and an updated price list for 2010 if you want to know more.

[burgerboy56]

dis really gave me a hard oneee 8======D

LMAO

[sharx35]

Nice fittin' jods on the dressage lady!

[sharx35]

She's gonna wear out the front of that saddle, if you know what I mean!

[horsefreak129]

ummmm. actually, i don't. what do you mean.?

[sharx35]

Sorry, I didn't realize you were so young. When you are of age, ask me that question again!

[horsefreak129]

im 15, i understand what you mean, im not stupid. but why the hell would you say that? its nasty..

[sharx35]

There's nothing nasty about, uh, feeling good from, uh, physical activity. Nerve endings are there for a purpose, eh?

[miloismyhorse]

I WANT ONE!!!! =-D That is so cool!

[kanumbra]

i totally want to try one it would be such good practise but its probably heaps different to a real horse.

[hannahg917]

Ive rode one :) The fast trot is really bouncy and plus they dnt feel nothing like a real horse well defo not like my lil pony x

[horsefreak129]

I still thought the fast trot was smoother than a real horse still XD

But it really doesn't feel like a real horse ahahah!

[Hanolove199]

haha i ride bareback on a tb it doesnt hurt acctually

[horsefreak129]

yeah i know, it would be hurtful to ride bareback on a TB when you don't ride bareback often

[katysct]

I would like to see that!! I find it quite sore. You must be a good rider and your postion must be exellent if you dont find it sore!! lol!!

[horsefreak129]

Are you talking to hanolove?

I would find it sore, I'm not gonna lie

[katysct]

yeh sorry i was talking to hanolove

[katysct]

LOL! Thats what I thought

[katysct]

Bareback on a TB ouch, or with saddle?

[horsefreak129]

with the saddle ;)

bareback on a TB would be PAINFUL! wow!

[Saence]

ROFL hahah I know my gina knows the pain hahaha I ride an OTTB with super super high withers and he's so bony lmao its painful but its fun, that sounds kinda dirty... O.o :/

[katysct]

I love this video!! The trot looks like it would be SOOO comfy and SUCH GOOD FUN!!! A bouncy trot can be sore sometimes if not postioned correctly but your postion looked great. Did it feel good to ride?? What do you prefare? mechanical or real horse??

[horsefreak129]

it was comfy! it was nothing like a sitting trot on a real horse, i didn't have to use any leg muscles to try to keep my butt in the saddle. and thanks! that's nice to hear that my position looked good! it felt awsome to ride the robot, although i was way sore from riding the day before and sitting the trot ona bouncy TB. i prefer real horses because they have so much more personality and love :D

[peruvianlover549]

omg! haha i was therr! it was at the Equine affair!!

[horsefreak129]

which one? i was at the one in CA

[peruvianlover549]

[horsefreak129]

WHOOHOO! 1,000 veiws! way! that's so cool!

[matrixmare]

[matrixmare]

[alinanazarenko1]

[SymbolsOfSaturn129]

[horsefreak129]

[SymbolsOfSaturn129]

[marshienzana]

I made this video...tehe!

[horsefreak129]

yeah, this is my most commented on and most commonly viewed video

[qhchamp85]

oooo! i did one of these at the horse expo!

waaay fun!(:

[allexx123]

I inquired about this " Pro 2 model " and it cost $50,000 plus tax for one in the USA. Or you can lease one for $3,500 per month with a 2 year contract. And you also need a 10 foot plus tall ceiling. How many real horses could one buy with $50,000 ????

[barbroaskupmark1]

Not very many if they are trained like "Amerika".

AND you don't need to pay any board or shoeing or vet bills etc! The lease for America is NOT $3,500 but $1.900 quite a difference! The newest model, the interactive Dressage Horse is $3,500 and worth every cent.

[allexx123]

I was told by a Swedish dressage lady who does lease these to people, and she said it was $3,500 per month to rent, and that was NOT the new Dressage model horse. That was 2 years ago when I was emailing her about it. it was an older model that "Amerika" replaced for sale. She wanted to sell the old model for $28,000 plus shipping, and also her and her repairman to be paid to show how to use it. She was in Calf. she is a distribitor for these machines in the USA.

[TrinketLuver]

haha that look so awesome and cool.lol. i wish we had them here in pa.. hah

[Drenarrow]

Me too! I wish she would bring the robohorse to the farm show! Heck, I WANT one:)

[ilovehorseyrides]

There is one in PA!  It's at the Horseatack Saddlery store in Norristown outside of Philadelphia. It's mainly for customers to try out saddles so usually you can ride it only for a couple of minutes. But I got to ride it too and its lots of fun! I have a video in my YT channel of me riding their horse.

[musicisapony]

that looks like fun

[horsefreak129]

it was :))

[LoveTakesAMan]

haha that looks so fun!!! i go to the equine affair every year and i've never seen that...where is the equine afari that the horse was at? i go to the one in MA.

[horsefreak129]

it was fun! i went to the equine affair in CA, so maybe thts why u didn't see the robot horse. i think they have a bunch around the world(see ilovehorsierides comment below) but theres not one in every state,s o i was pretty lucky to ride it :)

[Karebare1775]

OMG I did that two years ago at the equine affaire. It was sooo much fun except i rode one named LuLu . Than i went back for my birthday and we worke don everything. It responds to your leg and hand aids. Than I did it again this year and it was even more fun.

[horsefreak129]

yeah, i loved it! mine was named amerika

was ur bday during the equine affair? i rode amerika at the equine affair

[Karebare1775]

I rode LuLu during the equine affaire and than my bday was like the month after. So I rode at the stables they kept her in

[horsefreak129]

oh she was at a stable? thats so cool! i loved riding it!

[Karebare1775]

Yup when there not at the Equine Affaire they are scattered around everywhere

[kateventer123]

that looks like SO much fun! I love the cantering i think that it would be fun!

[horsefreak129]

ohhhh, it was! and even the trot was fun! its much smoother than any horse i've ridden :)

[ilovehorseyrides]

Actually there horses are quite f ew of these around but mostly in the UK because thats where Racewood Ltd is who makes them. Aside from these two horses in California, there are a couple in the Morgan barn at the KY Horse Park and one in a tack store near Philadelphia. There are two more in the Toronto area, & the Racing Museum in Saratoga Spings NY has the racing simulator horse. I think the trotting and cantering horses a a lot of fun to ride, I've got videos of the KY on my YT channel.

[horsefreak129]

hmmm, it must have been one of the 2 in CA... that's so cool that there's so few iin the world, and i got to ride one :)

[Viky1234xx]

''Daddyyy, buy me this, pleeease'' LOL........ I'd like to have it at home :D WOW

[horsefreak129]

me too haha! it was so fun, and i would love to have it at home, its like a real horse(but without all the attitude ahha)

[CaliforniaEquestrian]

that actually looks kinda fun, haha. and they compete in the mechanical olympics? i wanna see that LOL

[horsefreak129]

no they don't haha it was a joke made by my friend, becausse she know i want to be in the olympics for jumping.

it was really fun!

[tibbypony]

wow- did it acctully respond to your aids?

[horsefreak129]

well, sort of haha. it doesn't go faster if u kick it, the lady had to press a button to change gaits, but i could slow it by pulling the reins
