I know it's insane, but this reminds me of my skippy ball when I was 5 ^^* haha... It looks like it... Everyone was always jealous how high and far I could jump with my 'ball' but for me it was like an extention of my lessons haha.. I'm going to find an equisimulator in my country now to improve my seat! Thank you!

You do have one in Holland- it is with my Enlightened Equitation teacher, Fiona Meilink.;-)

Wow amazing!

Now I can't ride! =D

So we don't have to push down but push up?

quite confusing with out trying ^^

[enlighteneduk]

@PoulnabroneModesty

Its more 'suck up', as if you are trying to draw the back of the horse up into your seat. This means your seat is very light and allows the horse to lift the back, but your butt remains in quietly glued contact with the saddle. Essentially, sucking up lifts your seatbones and leaves room for the back to come up into the squishier and less compressing seat muscles/flesh (depending on the size of your butt!)

this thing is amazing!:-) i am wondering how much it costs???

[enlighteneduk]

@barrelhorserider7

Sadly they are not on sale. There are others on the market now, but far more exotic and much more expensive. But for me, I only need the basic movement so I can teach the synchronising of the rider's movement with the horse. Anything more is superfluous.

Fantastic. A really good visual aid for me here. You can see the 'rocking horse' motion when she's pushing with her seat - not nice to see. Very nice 'horse' action when she's light and doing the backwards circle. I hope I remember this next time I'm cantering!

[kawwilover]

I want one of those machines!!

[secretsquirrel1978]

Its amazing too, seeing how the equisimulator actually comes off the forehand when changing from the 'driving seat' to the correct seat. Brilliant. Can't wait to try this with my mare whose back roundness tends to ping me straight up and my 'driving' seat has been so far only managing to 'drive' her mental!

@whilyone

Glad to help!!

@khb315

No, same way, as the horse is still going forwards! But the movement will take your seatbone/hip in the direction of whichever leading leg.

excellent demonstration thankyou!!
