If you are into riding horses, you will not want to miss out on the RideMaster,a virtual reality for horseback riding. They even got racing-horse simulators and polo simlators for advanced riders.
The £40,000 virtual reality riding machine combines a mechanical horse with a host of electronic sensors and a screen, to recreate the joys of an outdoor ride without the need for mucking out.
The Ridemaster Pro, which is made by Racewood Simulators, is proving a hit with those who live in cities or who want to ride but don’t want to brave the elements.
Designer and company managing director Bill Greenwood said: “Private individuals buy them who don’t have space for a horse in central London.
