Car for your horse anyone?

[Equi]

Never need to hack again! train your horse from a car! It even works for foals!

Made me cringe.... What if the horse stumbled and went down?!

 

[undergroundoli]

Whats the point? It doesn't 'eliminate errors caused by man,' it just moves them.

 

[AnotherNewbie]

That's one of the most odd things I've ever seen....that second 'contraption' is like a roller coaster for horses, just not as fun!

 

[Dunlin]

How ridiculous and god knows how much money it costs. I think the "seatbelt" the horses are wearing in the second one, the rollercoaster as anothernewbie says is maybe something that holds them up if they stumble? I still think it's flippin dangerous though, machines can't keep an eye on a horse and see that it's going lame and pull it up, how horrible to have the machine come back with 6 lame horses just dangling there. I also think it's pretty stupid to put a foal in that 'car'.

 

[Tiffany]

Why would anyone want to use a machine like ones in video? Certainly didn't get why they would have a foal in there and like someone else said what if they trip?

TBH I thought it was a p***Take! But checked the date and it's a while to April the First...........!!!

 

[Nessa4]

If not a joke what exactly is it training the horse to do???

 

[Goldenstar]

It's obviously aimed at fittening racehorses so when they say train I think it's in that context .
One thing that can't do as far as I can see is tell the horse is not right like you can when you ride .

The person who bought kingwood stud a few yrs ago invented it and according to the studs website was granted planning permission to build the track version there last january. Its hard to think what that monstrosity is going to look like in lambourne and i wonder how many trainers will allow their horses to be put in it.
