From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Racewood is a British company that specialises in creating horse riding simulators. It was established in 1990.

Market

[edit]

Racewood simulators are seen in riding schools as well as gyms and tack shops.[1] They are also sometimes brought in to horse expeditions and shows such as the Grand National, Horse Of The Year Show and the Badminton Horse Trials.[citation needed]

A popular nationwide festival, The National Riding Festival, also uses a Racewood cantering simulator called "Trigger", who appears at every date on the festival tour and at some primary and secondary schools to encourage children to take up horse riding.[citation needed]

In 2023, Scotland's Rural College purchased a £100,000 Racewood simulator for students to practice riding to improve their equestrian performance and safety.[2]
