MAVROS THE HORSE SIMULATOR

Mavros the horse simulator is going to revolutionise the way we teach all our riders alongside our actual living horses.

Mavros  gives riders the opportunity to practice their walk, trot and canter. He allows the riders to practice making both upward and downward transitions of all three paces and includes the halt. He can be controlled in his upward and downward paces either by the use of a control panel on his side, or the rider can have full control with both the use of the reins (which act on a rein sensor) and the use of their legs (which acts on the pad sensors under the rider’s calf).

There are many benefits to working with Mavros .

For beginners he allows the rider the time to become familiar with the following:
-Understanding their basic position.
-The use of aids in an upward transition and a downward transition.
-Finding their centre of gravity and balance.
-Developing their stamina and their fitness level.
-Improving confidence, especially on transitions and canter.
-Improving co-ordination and harmony

For the more established rider:

-Fine tuning the position
-Work on any existing postural challenge
-Fine tune sitting trot in different speeds
-Working on transitions
-Improve your canter seat and hip flexibility
-rehabilitation after injury using the horse and other equipment
-helping to reduce mental blocks after accidents
-ideal when the weather is bad

Mavros is situated in his own stable where riders will also have the benefit of using different equipment items for exercises. These include the following:
-Mirrors to the side and in front of Mavros
-Balancing balls
-Balancing boards
-Equipment for body stretches to use to encourage flexibility and warm up -routines alongside images.

Using a mechanical horse has so many benefits, the movements promote many physical benefits such as:
-increased circulation
-development of balance and improved coordination among many others.
-Therapeutic riding can help children and adults with various challenges or delays in development.
