Horse riding is a complex & interactive experience between the rider and the horse. Especially in complex motions, a new platform can enable the actual horse-riding learning process (Walker 2018). This theme has accumulated visibility & interest in both equine science and horse-riding societies (Saddle Research Trust 2021). LUT University decade long track record of applying the industrial level hardware into exotic area of horse-riding simulators was a great launchpad for Horzim project. Ability to reproduce real horse complex motion patterns of riding was something that the equine industry eagerly wanted to see. Major flaw of these simulators was the realistic horse motion, which sparked the Horzim project idea. Project main result is in a validated motion platform capable of mimicking individual motions of any real horse.Įquine simulators have been on the market already for multiple decades. Commercialisation research was the main responsibility area of the LAB. The project investigated novel commercial applications for a fully programmable horse-riding simulator and resulted in technical Proof of Concept & suitable business model ideas for commercialisation. The project was funded by Business Finland ‘Research to Business’ funding instrument. Project Horzim was a two-year (2019-2021) joint commercialization research project with LUT University and LAB University of Applied Sciences.
