David Hunt, President International Trainers' Club:
"I was pleasantly surprised how realistic the ride was. The Riding Simulator is an invaluable tool. It helps the rider to learn correct seat and position, timing of the aids, even how and when to make half halts. The 'horse' helps by giving the rider the correct feel in self carriage, the responsiveness and the rhythm that is only achieved by the well trained dressage horse."

Dr Linda Lowenstine, Veterinary professor at UC Davis, CA:
"This thing has a personality. It really responds like a real horse!"

Mel Getz, Bend, Oregon:
"It really lets you focus on the instruction".

Judy Getz, Bend, Oregon:
"I have been reluctant to get on a horse again after a riding related back
injury. Lessons on the Simulator have restored my confidence and I intend to
resume riding again."

Nan Meek, FEI rider and journalist:
"The 3 things I learned: 1) Reverse the movement of my hands during sitting trot so I give when I used to take, and take when I used to give - then my movement supports my horse's movement instead of getting in his way. 2) My left leg wasn't rotated inward as much as my right leg; now I check that my left leg is turned inward from the hip so its rotation matches my right leg and my aids are more even and effective. 3) I thought my horse was hanging on my left rein, but I was the one doing the hanging; now I use half halts and forward seat & leg aids to keep the contact active and honest. Thanks Barbro!!"

Janis White, Albuquerque, New Mexico
"It is beyond astonishing how much difference working with you on the Simulator has made for me. I believe if my horse could talk he would say, 'Oh wow, I don't know what happened but this is sooo much better'!"
