Riding a horse is far more complex than riding simulators

(University of Veterinary Medicine -- Vienna) For equestrian training you do not necessarily need a horse. Riding simulators to train the riders' skills have become available recently. Scientists of the Vetmeduni Vienna in Austria investigated possible differences between riding a horse and training with a simulator. The result: the simulator is less demanding and less complex than the horse, although simulator training can be initially stressful for riders. The study was published in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science.
