How many horse riders have got one or tried one, are they really a good exercise machine or do you get bored and leave it in the corner to hang your clothes on ;-)
 
Yes you can, but there are so many on ebay i am wondering if they are any good, i wanted one when they first came out but no way am i going to pay that!I don't mind £100-£150 though but still don't want to waste that much if it is a fad, i brought the lateral thigh trainer when it first came out for £100 now they are selling them for a fiver on car boots!

It does sound like a naughty toy ;-)
 
>>>>>>>>>>considers swapping grey cob mare for one ,,,no mucking out , no scrubbing head of said mare after shes used one of her poos as pillow , no riding in howling wind and rain ,,,hmmm
 
I think the fact that there are so many on ebay probably gives you a good indication of how many end up as clothes hangers. Mind you, I'm one of the worst offenders of buying gadgets - I've had many an excercise bike, ab strengthener, cross trainer etc. I would probably be interested in one of these too if I had room left in my loft!
 
I think you would get bored after a shortish while ...... But if you can buy at the right price now you can probably sell without losing too much in the new year (so keep the packaging)!
 
Hi - well I have one - and have owned it about 2 years. It is in my lounge as I thought I could sit on it and watch TV. Its comfy and not difficult to ride if you are a balanced horse rider. I think it would benefit people more if they are not so balanced/or non horse rider.

I think I could count of two hands the number of times I have used it! It would probably do me good if I used it but I sit on the sofa when I get in and then just dont move. They only say use it 15 mins twice a day and I really can imagine it works.

Perhaps I should pull it out the corner and actually use it! Perhaps tomorrow!
 
I had a go in a shop a couple of years ago and loved it. Don't know if I would actually use it regularly though, I hopeless at exercise for exercise sake.

SAME HERE! Mine's sat in the hallway - covered in school bags! It makes a useful saddle rack mind you. Think I've got a saddle on mine - but haven't seen it in ages as the kids keep dumping their stuff on it :rolleyes:
 
I've got the igallop which is similar. Used it when I couldn't ride for a while and a friend then borrowed it after she had a back operation.
Horseantics, I will be selling it, pm me if you are interested.
