Equicizers heal!

Equicizer is an incredible company!! Their customer service is top of the line and Mr. Lovato is truly an innovator of the industry. I am the founder of a therapeutic riding center in Florida. We are a multifaceted program incorporating many services! Our 2 Equicizers are imperative to our programs, one is used in physical rehabilitation and the other is used in emotional and mental rehabilitation! I am so grateful for Equicizer!!!!

We LOVE Our Equicizer!

The team here has been fantastic to work with and was very communicative throughout the entire process. When our Equicizer arrived, it was very easy to put together and has been a great help in the evaluation process for all of our new students at our therapeutic riding center!

The perfect horse

I received my horse, Bullseye, about a month ago and am nothing but impressed with all I can do with him. I’m working on riding English and he’s perfect for working on things safely to get my form, strength and confidence up. Honestly it’s so much fun I don’t feel like I’m exercising at all, but within a month of owning him I’ve seen a huge improvement in my riding skills. I’m 100% thrilled I ordered one

We love our Equicizer!

We recently received our dear Rosamund and she has quickly become a fan favorite in the barn. Rosa lives in the center of our tack room and children and adults jump on her as they move through the day. So far, Rosa has been known to wear English, Western, Bareback, and Vaulting tack. She is just the right fit for every rider. We are looking forward to spending many more years with her. The BOK Ranch is a full inclusion riding program that creates curriculum for children with and without special needs into mainstreamed classes. The Equicizer is a great match for our program because she works equally for all types of riders.

We love “Woody” our wonderful equicizer!

My dream of a Lab for my riders started in early 2020, I wanted a space where students could learn the hyper specific motions needed to ride without the complexity of the horse. Where they could more easily access those critical "Ah Ha!" moments and then apply them in the saddle. The very first thing I purchased for the LAB was an Equicizer! Frankie was wonderful to work with. He was prompt and professional while guiding me through the process of crafting "Woody" My original ideas for Woody centered around training the riders who fly in to train at my facility for the Mongol Derby, the world's longest horserace. In the first year of having Woody here at the lab....he has indeed trained Derby riders and so much more! So far he has been used in Mounted Weaponry classes, become integral in teaching our riders how to fall correctly, helped those who have been away from the sport ease back into riding, acting as a rehab tool for riders who are returning after an injury, taught deep seat hip motion and light seat weight distribution. All while being the best behaved and easiest keeper in the whole barn! Solange Ellis Horsehaven Stables Hinckley Ohio

AWESOME!

I work at a center based special education school and we were fortunate to get our horse 'Rocket' this year! We have many different abilities of students in our school from no physical disabilities to students who need maximum support to sit on 'Rocket'. He works for everyone! Staff was so impressed by the smooth galloping motion (and no up-and-down motion, which many of our students prefer). We had a handful of students hesitant to get on 'Rocket', so being able to touch/brush his tail and mane and 'feed' him fake apples was a big hit. By now, all of the students have been on him! It is such a great therapy tool for our students, as many students will not have the opportunity to ride a real horse. Well worth it!

Equicizer Classic

Our Equicizer exceeded all expectations. Frankie and the Equicizer team made ordering and receiving "Quincy" a breeze! (Even shipping across the border). We have already put him to good use and the look of pure joy on our clients' faces makes him worth every penny!

The personal customer service, extreme attention to detail on every aspect of the order right down to the quality of the protective shipping container....are just a few of the extra details of excellence that compliment the Equicizer itself. The ease of use and effectiveness of the Equicizer are remarkable. It was simple to unpack and easily understood directions of the very few things you had to do to get started. Enjoying it everyday as an added fitness device in the barn. Thank you for your attention to detail and good old fashion customer service.

So happy with my equicizer, Comanche! The most fun way to exercise or just jump on and enjoy a ride. The craftsmanship is amazing; such a beautiful horse. I can't thank Frankie enough for making Comanche. I enjoy him everyday.

Expanding our client base

The equicizer has been an outstanding addition to our therapeutic riding program! The equicizer allows us to expand our client base by offering safe and engaging activities for individuals who are currently unable to participate in traditional mounted therapeutic riding (ex. exceeds weight limit, helmet tolerance, physical limitations). We are also using it to help clients build pre-requisite skills to riding. We have already been able to move one individual into a traditional therapeutic riding class after only a few weeks with the equicizer!

Rudolph the Equicizer

Working with Frankie was incredible, he truly cares about his work and about his customers. He worked with us on picking up Rudolph at his workshop on a busy day for him and even gave us a tour! Since having Rudolph, one of our therapy horses has become injured and Rudolph has helped us immensely!

A real workout! Smooth ride!

Frankie and his team offer a first class experience from start to finish. I'm pleased with my purchase and am grateful that Frankie allowed me to choose the base color, instead of the black or bay versions offered for the classic (I went with grey). The Equicizer was easy to set up and instructions were even included to make certain your saddle is properly placed for balance. I find I prefer to ride bareback for a better core workout. "Iris" and I enjoy workouts to some upbeat music...but my guilty pleasure is hopping on her back while watching Yellowstone. Great core workout! She is a trusty mount with no buck, bite, or rear!

A must for any rider

I ride my equicizer (My Journey) 45 minutes per day 4 days per week. The other 3 days are on horseback. Journey has improved my seat, balance, leg placement, reigning, hand placement and movement in the various gaits. I have been riding Journey for about 2 months and my trainers have noted an overnight improvement in how I ride my lessons. No more wild hands and elbows and most importantly, my calf instead of my knee is on the horse. I am now riding a former barrel racer who responds to very very light aids. Without Journey, I will be covered in ring dust daily!! My drills include all gaits, noodling, reign placement and movement in each gait, balance in each gait without stirrups or reigns and most importantly, improving my posting trot. Best investment at the best time in my training.
