RIDING IMITATING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: functional development of rider's muscles. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has resilient saddle 1, mechanical oscillation generator 2 positioned under saddle 1 and oscillating member 4 providing action upon saddle surface. Generator 3 is mounted on rigid shaft 5 so that its inclination angle relative to saddle surface may be varied. Apparatus is further provided with control panel 6 and sensors for controlling and regulating oscillation parameters. Apparatus allows different types of horse motion, such as gallop, trot, marching stride, to be imitated. EFFECT: increased efficiency, wider operational capabilities and enhanced reliability in operation. 1 dwg
