I have seen the chuck wagon race horse version of this...take one pick up truck, a frame with two bars either side and add your horses, then exercise them.

If anyone has watched the "Half mile of Hell' Documentaries they will have seen this.

I think they look lethal - what happens if a horse panics or trips up?

Plus the fact I would rather get on my horse and exercise it myself rather than paying all that money to have one and then getting a machine to exercise it! (but then the racing world has forgotten that they are animals not machines havent they!!)

It looks like some sort of horse propelled rollercoaster! Bet that is very expensive and i recon alot of horses wouldn't take well to that.

Wow. (that man can talk, eh?)

I too, worried about what if a horse trips and falls, but I see there is a man driving the thing, I would expect there to be safety mechanisms.

Thats unfair. It's the age old saying, don't tar everyone with the same brush. I'm not making a comment on the machine in the video, just the reference to the racing world.
