The Exercise Bike For Equestrians
Every athlete has a means to train and practice their skills. Baseball players have batting cages, basketball players can shoot hoops in their driveway, golfers have driving ranges; if you are a cyclist, a stationary bike is the obvious choice, but what about horse riders? The solution is the Equicizer!

What is the Equicizer?
What is the Equicizer?-

How Does the Equicizer Work?
Nothing to plug in or turn on and the Equicizer is virtually maintenance free! The Equicizer has a spring balanced mechanism that is easily activated and controlled by the rider’s level of effort and fitness. Riders can use the correct riding seat and leg muscles that virtually bring the Equicizer to life! When in motion, the Equicizer simulates a real horse’ movement, allowing riders to exercise, stretch and practice technique and improve body posture and positioning, fitness and confidence in a safe, controlled manner.
The secret to this mechanical horse’s ability to improve your strength, balance and coordination is that you, the rider, make it go! Now you can improve your position, suppleness, flexibility, core strength and fitness, while doing ‘perfect practice’ in your tack room or the comfort of your own home. Use any standard size saddle, with or without stirrups, or ride bareback! Riders can use their hips, or “core” seat and leg muscles to initiate the walk, trot, or canter motion. This exercise works all those horse riding muscles in your legs, abdomen, back, everywhere!

Actor Tobey Maguire trained and rode the Equicizer in the close up scenes in the motion picture Seabiscut:
"I didn't realize what kind of athletes jockeys are. The first time I got up in the stirrups and did a bit of a gallop on the equicizer, after a couple of minutes my legs were noodles. I could barely stand up."
– Tobey Maguire
