When I was a kid I loved to play on a rocking horse. Even now too, if I can find one that can hold my weight.
I have never had the chance to ride a real life horse before though and perhaps wouldn’t even dare to try. But looking at the Ridemaster pro a horseback riding simulator, I’d give it a second thought.
This virtual reality horse riding machine combines a mechanical horse that comes with various electronic sensors and a wide screen monitor. It is said that the riders can use normal riding techniques – trot, canter and also a number of advanced riding techniques. Bet if you really gear yourself up in proper equestrian apparel you’d really feel like you are riding a real life horse. Been out for nearly a couple of years now. Costing thousands of pounds, only the rich can afford to buy one of these and set up in their homes. Though I suppose it still wouldn’t cost so much than to care for a real horse. Cool as it may seem, but riding a horse isn’t all about riding it right? I suppose you would really want to have some sort of personal connection to the horse as well. And that the mechanical horse can’t give you.
