instruction ridei) Instruction Ride:
The instructional Ride is essential for teachers to help students adjust body position and posture accordingly and also to show them the correct aids for the different movements.

 



instruction rideii) Free Ride:
The Free Ride allows students to choose between a 20 x 40 or 20 x 60 arena or alternatively ride on the surrounding path and grassland. There are realistic sound effects depending on whether the rider is riding on grass or on a track.

 


instruction rideiii) Test Ride:
The rider can test his or her ability by using the Test Ride. Test rides are presented orally, by written instruction on the screen and by visual representation. Feedback on performance is delivered visually from each judges view point and from a 'bird's eye' view. You can freeze the screen to analyse problem areas and work closely on them.


Auto Training iv) Auto Training Ride: The Auto Training Ride assesses the rider's set, leg and rein, in either a 1 minute or 2 minute assessment. The rider is asked to sit in the correct way as the simulator turns through the different gates and collects data which is then displayed on a graph. This data can be printed out to record progress. This is a useful instructional aid for instructors to point out and focus on key problem areas.
