This week OT Jo and OTA Ciara went out to meet the mechanical horse RADAR at Midgeland riding school.
RADAR recreates the movement of a real horse, helping riders develop balance, coordination, core strength, and confidence in a safe, controlled environment. It’s often the first step — a way to learn the feel of riding, build skills, and grow confidence before progressing further.
And for many riders, RADAR is exactly that: a bridge. Once they’re ready, they can move on to trying a real horse, already feeling prepared and empowered.
Bonus- No mucking out… and no need to feed RADAR carrots 🥕😉
