They are a real draw and can be ridden like a real horse, with the rider able, if confident, to control the pace of the horse. They are great at shows and events, both horsey and non. The horses can be hired by both members and non-members alike. Donations from riders amount to hundreds of pounds each year, which BETA sends to the Riding for the Disabled, Horseback UK and The Brooke. Keep an eye out for them this year as part of the Take up the Reins Tour of Great Britain, which aims to encourage all to get on board and join our fantastic sport. To be found at many shows and family activity events or on the BETA stand or that of a BETA Member company, they both always arrive in style in their very own BETA-branded trailers. Weighing in at 400kg and equipped with a conventional or western saddle and bridle, they can offer new riders a feel for the real thing, novices their first taste of trot or canter, while experienced equestrians can hone their skills. RoboCob has five ‘gears’ – walk to gallop and Duke and Duchess have 3 speeds of canter. The computer driven riding simulators respond to the rider’s leg and hand aids. Look out for BETA RoboCob, Duke and Duchess our life-sized mechanical horses, at events across the country.
