Tailored Riding Solutions is a horseback riding service located in Truganina, Australia. The company offers simulation training sessions on their state-of-the-art eventing simulator named Stanley. Developed by Racewood, Stanley is the only simulator of its kind in Australia and is capable of performing all the Grand Prix Dressage movements, taking riders around Cross Country or Show Jumping courses, and also has RDA software.
The simulator provides real-time feedback for riders on their position, weight distribution, and rein pressure, making it an invaluable tool for rider biomechanics. Stanley, the simulator, can be seen in action in the video on their website.
Tailored Riding Solutions has a range of uses for Stanley, including learning to ride or jump, confidence-building lessons, recovering from injury, improving rider fitness, and learning about each individual's biomechanics and how their positioning influences their horse.
The simulator is equipped with improved sensors that provide real-time feedback on saddle balance. The new software platform is incredibly fast and can detect even the tiniest movement. Additionally, the simulator features new pressure-sensitive leg sensors that cover six different zones on the simulator's flank, allowing control through varying pressure levels. The instruction mode also provides detailed feedback on leg pressure.
One of the most remarkable features of Stanley is its realistic neck system. The advanced neck system moves like a real horse and responds to rein contact, lifting the head and neck. It can also move left and right in line with the horse's action, imitating natural movements like half pass.
The simulator also offers dynamic gait adjustment in show jumping and cross country modes, allowing rein and leg pressures to adjust the extension and collection of the horse's stride pattern.
Tailored Riding Solutions caters to various disciplines. In dressage, the simulator assesses weight distribution in the saddle, leg pressure, and rein pressure. Riders can practise advanced dressage movements, including Piaffe and Passage, with the training screens providing real-time feedback.
For show jumping, the training mode allows riders to focus on improving their posture and balance over various jump heights without worrying about controlling the horse. Beginner mode provides a forgiving environment with smaller movements and lower jumps, while advanced mode challenges riders to spot the stride pattern and make adjustments for the correct takeoff position. Riders can also participate in timed courses while assessing rein pressure and balance.
Whether riders are looking to improve their skills, build confidence, or recover from injury, Tailored Riding Solutions offers a unique and effective training experience with their cutting-edge simulator, Stanley. Contact them today to book a session and take your riding to new heights.
