Rocking horses may seem like kids’ stuff to you - but the Ridemaster Pro goes far and beyond the rustic wooden toy that many of us enjoyed during childhood.
Rocking horses may seem like kids’ stuff to you - but the Ridemaster Pro goes far and beyond the rustic wooden toy that many of us enjoyed during childhood. This rocking horse, which is the size of a full-grown horse, offers riders a true-to-life replication of the horseback riding experience.
Why not simply ride a real horse, then? For urban dwellers, access to horses can be difficult. And even for equestrians, there are plenty of times when the weather makes it difficult to get outside and saddle up.
“With one of our simulators you can ride at any time of day in a centrally heated or air-conditioned environment,” the luxury rocking horse’s creator, Bill Greenwood, told the Telegraph. “You don’t need the space or a dressage arena because it’s not physically going anywhere - you can put it in a small room or in a garden shed.”
So, if you can’t find a horse, the Ridemaster Pro can bring a horse to you. But considering the fake horse’s £40,000 ($80,000) price tag, we’ll probably just stick with the kiddie version.
