Peteris Simulator

Salut Michel

je suis heureux de te retrouver sur le Forum et en meilleure santé.

Vaste question que celle des sensations de l'équitation, il y en a tant de possibles...

Ce qui est certain, c'est que le travail de préparation physique dynamique sur simulateur permet d'élaborer rapidement, efficacement, et en toute sécurité :

- d'une part les apprentissages gestuels indispensables pour accompagner immédiatement au mieux les allures d'une monture "réelle", comme par exemple trotter assis, trotter enlevé, galoper assis, galoper en équilibre sur les étriers, etc...

- et d'autre part, d'élaborer rationnellement dans l'économie gestuelle certains gestes techniques de "conduite du cheval", comme par exemple tourner, ralentir, demander un départ au galop, un changement de pied, une épaule en dedans, etc...

Que dire de plus, si ce n'est que la préparation physique sur simulateur s'applique tout aussi efficacement à l'initiation des débutants qu'au perfectionnement équestre des cavaliers confirmés...

Bien cordialement
Pétéris

Hi Michel

I'm happy to find you again on the Forum and in better health.

Vast question that that of the feelings of riding, there are so much possible...

What is certain, it's that the work of dynamic physical preparation on simulator allows to elaborate quickly, effectively, and safely :

- on one hand the indispensable gestural learnings to accompany in best the motions of a "real" horse, as for example to trot sat, to trot rising, to canter sat, to gallop in balance on stirrups, etc...

- and on the other hand, to elaborate rationaly in gestural saving certain technical gestures of "driving of the horse", as for example to turn, to slow down, to ask for a departure at the gallop, for a flying change, a shoulder-in, etc...

What to say furthermore, except that the physical training on simulator applies so effectively to the initiation of the begginners as to the equestrian perfection of the confirmed riders...

Very cordially
Pétéris

Merci Peteris,

c'est bien ce que je pensais.

Donc, ton simulateur pourrait être utilisé par les organizations qui pratiquent "l'hippothérapie"
pour éduquer l'équitation aux gens privés de certaines de leurs facultés.

Je vais le mentionner à plusieurs organizations.
Je te tiendrais au courrant des résultats

Bien amicalement,
Michel

Thank you Peteris,

That's what I thought.

Thus, your simulator could be used by organizations that practice "hippotherapy" to teach equitation to people deprived of some of their abilities.

I am going to mention it to several organizations.
I'll keep you posted of the results.

Friendmly regards,
Michel

pour compléter ce qu'indique Peteris(après avoir testé le simulateur et convaincu du plus qu'il peut apporter à une pratique équestre de qualité), j'ajouterai que le simulateur est un outil parfait pour que le cavalier amateur apprenne à utiliser son corps pour accompagner au mieux son cheval dans la plus grande décontraction;
il va ainsi prendre conscience de son fonctionnement corporel dans un environnement qui l'oblige à utiliser de façon différente que dans la position bipède ses muscles et articulations; il va ainsi arriver à une plus grande compréhension et sensation corporelle.
Une fois à cheval, tout sera plus facile, d'autant plus que les handicapés savent développer des sens que leur infirmité met en avant .
Ayant une meilleure conscience de leur corps, ils pourront alors mieux être à l'écoute de leurs chevaux. Amicalement, yves KATZ
................
To complete what indicates Peteris (having tested the simulator and having convinced furthermore that he can bring to an equestrian quality practice), I shall add that the simulator is a perfect tool so that the beginner learns to use his body to accompany in best his horse in a biggerlooseness;
He is so going to become aware of his physical functioning in an environment which obliges him to use in a different way that in the position biped its muscles and articulations; he is so going to arrive at a bigger understanding and a physical sensation.
Once on horseback, everything will be easier, especially because the handicapped persons know how to develop senses which their infirmity advances.
Being conscious of their body, they can be then better for the listening of their horses. Friendly, yves KATZ

Merci des ces précison Yves,
hélas, pour l'insant mon idée ne va attirer l'attention des gens qui auraient pu s'en servir.
Dès que j'aurais leur attention, je leur en parlerais.

Bien amicalement,
Michel

Thank you for these precisions Yves,
Unfortunately, for now my idea wont get the attention of the people who could have used it.
As soon as I'll get their attention, I'll talk to them about it.

Friendly regards,
Michel

To follow the comments of Peteris and Michel Kaplan. I am a retired occupational therapist and often used my own basic version of a simulator to assist people/children with mild brain dysfunction to learn (often for the first time) how to help their brains to learn to balance themselves on an uneven, or moving surface (e.g. rocker board). They found this fun, and were comfortable as it was so much easier to control (and more predictable than a real horse)! Perhaps there is a large place, not only for the physically handicapped, and those with head injuries; but for many people who feel threatened by movement to use these techniques to help them learn to balance and control their bodies. "Riding for the Disabled" is good but I think it waould be helpful for some to start on a simulator/ controllable rocking horse, before they attempt to sit on an old, quiet pony to help develop balance and mobility skills.

Where is Gilian Hensler's message?

Le message de Gilian Hensler où est'il?

Sorry, I found it! On an unidentified page 2.

Good point Gilian, that is exactly what I may be interested to promote. But, the timing is still the problem.

The best to you and your entourage!

Vous avez raison Gilian, c'est exactement ce que voudrais promouvoir. Mais, le moment n'est toujours pas propice.

Meilleurs souhaits pour vous et votre entourag!
