What is your experience and would you recommend it for occasional riders to improve their fitness between riding sessions?
Also what is the cost of this piece of equipment?
i used it a couple times, and it did NO good for me whatsoever….. it just rocks back and forth supposedly helping your abs or whatever it targets. it didnt help me because it is NOT like a horse at all, i wouldnt reccommed it. as far as the cost goes it is about $600. i dont think it is really worth it personally. it just didnt do anything that helps horse riders.
i bought this piece of equipment! it cost me $200 and i believe it was on sale from $500. i have actually found it useless for riding since the “gaits” actually do not feel like a horses gaits at all and if you try to sit in a correct position it is uncomfortable. i even placed my saddle on it to see if it would help. it will keep your stomach in shape if you follow the video, but for riding, it is useless.
It does nothing for riding, at all. It costs around $500-$600. If you are gonna spend a lot of money, invest in something that is useful, like an equisizer. Although im sure the equisizer is out of your budget because it costs around $1200.
