I wish I had that horse simulator in front of my TV. It's also an attractive art piece. It looks like so much fun!

"You're position is already much more straight." Jesse: sitting like a potato sack in the back am I a joke to u?

My heart is pounding! I have been riding for more than half of my life. Now I am in a wheelchair. I actually had riding therapy in the rehab center. It was amazing and helped a lot! Now I am really missing horses and riding. Amazing what they offer!

5:36 "Do you always sit this straight?" "Ya." "It's ridiculous." I laughed so hard at this 😹😹

"do u always sit this straight?" "yeah..." *aggressively* "its ridiculous!"

As an autistic person who has been riding horses for 17 years now. I really wish there were more places like this. Especially here in the United States.

What an amazing facility offering valuable services to people who really benefit from riding and interact with horses I love that they also offer to dressage riders as well

That was so educational. Core balance is obviously important and that simulator is a wonderful tool. I do wish it existed here. I imagine confidence is built before riding the horses and weaknesses and strength can be monitored to provide a positive ride for their clients. Thanks for sharing this experience with us. What a special organization they are.

Getting to know and appreciate you guys as individuals is always fun. This video was excellent. I learned, I am appreciative of both of you caring about good things for others. Grow together

I want this machine in my house, it would be so much fun! this would be so relaxing compared to riding our friesian horse😂

I have been trying to follow the walk movement thinking of my hip joints opening and closing rather than driving with my seat and I see an immediate more free stride. Watching clinic videos last week in the US I took a lot of notes and am surprised that a direction by an Olympian to point the little fingers towards each other, rather than hands more straight up makes a HUGE difference to my feel of my horses's mouths and my ability to soften with my ring fingers. My horse likes it much better too. The horse simulator is a great invention I have not had the opportunity to use.

Would be cheaper than owning a real horse. Lol

Horse simulators are soo fun!! I rode a dressage one, jumping one and a racing one and it’s really good for your riding and fitness

I wish there was a place like this in my country. As a person with autism I find it challenging to "fit in" around neurotypical people. I also feel like I don't get the help that I need at my stable. It's really difficult to be around others who don't understand what autism means and how it "works".

Love the idea of people who may not be able to get on a real life horse can ride the mechanical horse!! That's awesome

1 knee replacement and 1 to go. I would love to use this to regain lost strength before actually riding. I’m 65 and I feel like this would be best for me.♥️

I started riding 30 years ago and I was taught by some of the best instructors in the country (UK) and they always said to squeeze with my knees so I'm not sure if this is an evolution of riding and it's something that's changed but it's one that's quite hard to change.

Interesting demonstration Matt and congratulations to this foundation wich helps all riders (experienced or not) and people with mental disability. The simulator is a great tool for those who do not own a horse. Thanks for sharing, Matt and Jesse! 👏💙

love this! I was waiting for her to have you ride it without stirrups, see what happened with the balance thing. Watching this I heard my teacher's "let go of the thigh"...it took awhile to do it but it is so effective. Watching the classical greats it is evident, some a bit more floppy loose and some relaxed and quiet. I think riding without stirrups is a good way to learn. Thank you Matt for sharing this.

I'm actually not a dressage rider but I'd still love this to see how out of whack my position may be. But that's still a great tip to think about trying to not squeeze but rekax the upper leg and relax in general

I need this horse in my life. First time I can trust it’s horse seller.

It made my day to see another vlog was up! Thank you for sharing, I really enjoy your vlogs. Best wishes for 2022 to you and Jesse.

HA, this reminds me of the machines in front of the grocery stores. Waaaay back a hundred years or so. Buck and a half you could simulate 1 gait all day

brilliant so far - just to come back on relaxation techniques you can do that personally by doing yoga or similar exercises - outside the horse riding scenario and it helped me a lot personally - be careful not to over think it - 🥰🥰🥰

So much information ! I'd love to have a go on 1 of these and see what kind of rider I am x

Matt, so good to see you and Jesse again!

Terrific info ! And experience for you guys ! She is a good educator !

Jessup is so cute sitting there soaking up all that is being said love you boys.

I would love one of these. Like a Peleton version. Hook some VR goggles up, go for a ride, never leave my apartment.

Well, after a few weeks ( months ) of binge watching your videos, I have finally caught up and eagerly awaiting the next one. Thrilled to have found your channel. Love your gorgeous horses, P R E and Friesians are my favourite breeds. Maybe one day we will see you with a Friesian? Thank you so much for all the amazing content.

What a wonderful video! Hero is a fantastic tool to teach riding. Thanks Matt and Jesse. Happy New Year!

I haven’t been able to ride at all since 2019 and would like this to be able to get back confidence in my ability, and even improve, before riding again. I could concentrate on me (hands, seat, legs) without concerns about another living, thinking being under me. A simulator could do wonders as a “lesson horse”.

Wow this facility is revolutionary. Hello from Australia

I would think the canter would feel odd, being so centre forward. I have a favoured lead of canter and so do my horses but removing favouritism, a canter to the left is different to one on the right lead anyway. I assume the canter wouldn't have a lead on this machine? Or is that something I missed?

Awesome video Matt!! ♥️ I want to try a horse simulator someday

I wish i had one of these! Im going to start learning canter soon and i would love to try it on one of these first!

Thank you so much for helping people with mental and physicals issues. Horses are the best for this! I just wished more institutions would understand this and set up programs. There is nothing like horse healing for mind, body and soul improvements. I believe that horses are empaths, they know when your broken, they know when your frightened, happy and relaxed, they just know how to work with you and give you what you need. The only way this can backfire is if the horse is not properly trained and you put a new rider on them that is also frightened of them and they will take advantage of this! It's this that puts people off of horses, they just get a bad stable that is more for the money than the safety. I've had this happen to me and when the horse sees I won't put up with it's nonsense, it settles right down and behaves.

I had a ride on one a few months ago was so much fun flying changes were so easy and I d crash into trees to see what it would do 🤣🤣🤣🐴🐴

When I learned to ride, I was instructed that the basic riding position is simply your standing position, legs bent, with your weight carried in the saddle. It's not a sitting in a chair position, it's actually standing but with the horse supporting your weight through your upper thighs and buttocks. Your center of gravity is over your feet as it would be when you stand. This is the balanced seat.

Super cool vlog! I have a weaker arm from an old rotator cuff injury, so I’d be interested to see what a simulator would say!

I love it: 1 minute ago and people say about how good the vid was..

Maybe this what I need at home. I'm currently in the process of retraining my body because I've learned to ride with the wrong muscles/parts of my body so I feel like this would help.

I really want one of these in my house. I could really work on my balance in the canter without having to worry about tiring out my horse too much. Same with a sitting trot.

I’m an equestrian and ofc I’d prefer a riding a real horse, but this would be very helpful for learning a new skill because it takes out the factor of unpredictability. Really cool though and very realistic.

You can’t hide from the Simulator. As a regular user of one of these simulators, it is worth the investment and the regular feedback has improved my riding out of this world.

I hope this means you are back on YT. We have missed you.

love love love. .. yes to evidence based change and growth. . .too much stuck in the way we do things as horse people.

That simulator would be amazing at the gym 😂 looks like much more fun than a treadmill

I really want a horse simulator it looks so much fun

Matt you should try reining for a video I think it would be super cool :))!

Very interesting video, would be so interesting to try sometime! Have you ever tried the Franklin Method, riding with the Franklin balls? I'm asking since you mentioned locking up in your hips/pelvis and sitting to one side more than the other, and the Franklin balls help you correct this. I have tried this myself and still am using them myself. I tend to lock up in my hips/pelvis very easily and also not stay straight in my body due to medical reasons, even for that it helps. But also with no medical reasons it helps, and it also helps getting a good laugh cause it is very funny to do xD And it makes you feel like you sit deeper in your saddle.

please note to get proper office chairs so you are supported fully including shoulder, back and arm movement - you being so tall need this as well - so high backed one 🥰🥰🥰🥰

i rly wanna try that simulator but ride it western lmaoo i’d be curious to see the analytics

I think it would be fun trying to ride the record times of racecourses around the world, add in some VR👍🔥

Would love to have one of these! Enjoyed the vlog thank you

Happy New Year Matt and Jesse 😊❤

Congratulations on 400k!!

So happy to see you boys. Have a Happy and Safe New Year!🎉🎉 Much Love 💜💚💜

Love your content - hoping you post more frequently in the new year.

Hey Matt I really loved that was very interesting. Of you riding a horse stimular. And it shows you movements too. All my love to the both of yous.

My riding stables I go to has the same one as this it’s pretty fun and enjoyable but really makes you work

And then the horse Reared and bucked 😂🐎

OMG! I need one of those!

A horse simulator? Who'd a thunk it! LOL What a great thing, though. When I was a kid, I wanted some kind of hobby horse so badly! That simulator would MORE than do! Amazing! I can't even begin to guess what it costs! And how much is that 45 minute lesson?

Hi Matt! I just wanted to say I love your videos, and you're a big inspiration to me and I've watched your videos for a long time! Just ignore all the haters or rude comments you get because you're such an amazing youtuber!

This seems similar to something you did a while ago where your riding was analyzed using a mechanical horse. All good, great vids!!!

Mett what a nice video I'm proud you made my day better give my regards to jesse ent the Dog’s

Please include a link to purchase the horse simulator for the USA. Thank you love your videos!

Ok, at 7:00 I was completely startled at the image over her shoulder. My eyes just focused on it and it took me a few shocked seconds to realize what it actually was! 😆 So sorry lol

I’ve always felt I would like a simulator but I can see a real horse would be as much fun!

This is really close to where I live but I did not know that this is possible. Just booked a lesson. Thank you.

SO INTERESTING!

Matt, I was just thinking about you the other day. And then you post this video! So cool! Much love from Alaska. Annemarie

Always wanted to try one of these!

In the trot, you could see you were using your hands too much because the horse was swinging his head from side to side. Or maybe that's just the way the horse moves in the trot and it's not your hands pulling his head from side to side. I don't remember that. And yes I have written one a dressage one and one who jumped a Grand Prix course I almost came off on that. Lol

That is so interesting thank you for sharing this

Get well soon 🍀✨🍀 I wish you both a great new year and all the best... 🐎🍀✨🍀🐎 Great video. And very interesting to see. Like it so much. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This was interesting tfs happy new year Matt & Jesse.😎🏇😎

Honestly I think if you did a day clinic of team penning it would be a good tool for relaxing the hips and lower back.

My college has a similar one they just don’t have the screen and the pressure on the legs don’t work anymore it mainly used to teach people how to ride as some people come to the course and don’t know how to ride I have been on it fun but would be better if it had sensores

I've done one! It's fun but not as fun as a real horse.

Please note that I changed by being quite active lifestyle then confined to permanent office job - similar what you do now - Yoga would help you learn to relax completely and look on realigning your body by doing simple your balancing exercises and will work on your techniques with reducing your stiffness - same here done and than refocus and do daily exercises to suite your needs - and also maybe good for future pressures with other work that you are doing - and maybe Jesse love it too 🥰🥰🥰

Can we see how you apply this now to your riding please. So we can see how this helped your riding.

I went to Newmarket racecourse as I was studying my BHS course in 1998 I rode one of these mechanical horses that jockeys train on and omg it was so had to keep the position plus it was nothing like this as technology wasn’t really thought of then it was great fun tho 😊😊😊

Better than an indoor treadmill.looks like fun.

This is amazing! Looks like good fun!

What a game-changer!!!

Welcome to my riding life😃

You should be surprised that hero go on with you. They should make hero so that he can buck and kick, but that should be dangerous😂😂😂

So cool simulation!

Who makes these horse simulators? The link doesn't provide information on it. What a fantastic idea for rehabilitation for rider injuries? Can you please give more information. Thank you.

At least it doesn’t shy lol

How would you get one I can't find one at all

People squeeze with heir upper leg to try and have a light seat. Without using those muscles you're just sat like sack of potatoes unless you have a core like a gymnast which most weekend riders don't have. If they're gripping with their lower leg and have their thighs relaxed they're more likely to loose balance surely ?

400k subscribers!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Very interesting video, lots of food for thought.

I never ride a horse 🐎 this would be good for me. Thank you. Love your videos.

this look really funny .. greetings from greece

Can anyone buy these?? And where can you get one?

Yoga is great for strengthening the core and balance 👍
