Instruction Screen The most popular programme for most people.  Balance and position in the saddle is displayed on screen – this allows the instructor to analyse and assess what a rider is doing, using information also collected from the rein and leg sensors. Our highly skilled instructors will then provide exercises based upon the feedback generated by the simulator.

Auto Training The auto-training routine is a firm favourite with instructors as it provides a meaningful and repeatable assessment of rider balance, rein contact and leg pressure through the paces. Using either the 1 or 2 minute test, it is excellent for assessing the riders performance. The results can be printed off afterwards for further evaluation and demonstration of progress.
