“…In previous studies of EAT, the movement data of the real horse were usually collected by the high-speed photography through the positioned markers. 1,16 The walking gait of the horse is the preferred option, and the velocity of this mode is 100–120 steps per minute, which precisely coincides with the step speed of a normal adult. 30 Meanwhile, the previous studies have shown that the hips and pelvis motion patterns of a walking horse are quite similar to the pelvic pitching motion and wagging motion of a walking adult.…”

A novel multi-legged horse-riding simulation vehicle aiming at providing the equine-assisted therapy is proposed, the functions of which include both transportation and rehabilitation. The whole system consists of a walking system constructed with four identical-legged units, a control system, an energy system, and a riding system. Based on the requirements of the foot trajectory, the configuration of the whole close-chain legged mechanism serving as a legged unit is designed with the structure of a single leg. The kinematics of the legged mechanism is built using the vector loop method, and the dimension is optimized adopting the sequence quadratic program. With the established mathematic model, the form-position inversion method is developed for the fluctuation analysis of the riding platform, and its modified algorithm is proposed according to the walking properties. The closed fluctuating curve group is obtained when the riding platform walks on a treadmill with a constant speed, and two functional curves are selected and analyzed for different walking modes. Combined with the practical requirements of different intensities, the sensitivity analysis is carried out for the reconfigurable process to adjust the fluctuation amplitude. A series of dynamic walking simulations are conducted and analyzed, and a prototype is fabricated to verify the expected functions of the multi-legged riding simulation vehicle. The study provides a new idea and an application reference for equine-assisted therapy system.

“…Equestrianism [7], better known as riding, horseback riding or horse riding, refers to the skill of riding with horses. A riding simulator is a machine that simulates riding motions through an imitation of the basic movements of a real horse [8][9][10]. A riding simulator includes an artificial horse body, a control device for the movements of the horse body, and a sensor device.…”

A horseback riding simulator is a robotic machine that simulates the motion of horseback riding. In this paper, we present an interaction control system for a horseback riding simulator. The proposed system provides a postural correction function suited to the user based on their historical log and specialized posture coaching data. The system has adopted certain schemes for posture detection and recognition of the identified user as a way to recommend customized exercise modes. Our experiments show that including these techniques will help users maintain good posture while riding.
