Wooden Horses Are All The Rage

Posted in: General, Observations, The Art Of..., Touch & Bodywork, Videos|September 21, 2008No Comments

What? You’ve never heard of a wooden horse? A wooden horse for adults? Well, it’s true!

No lie, these wooden horses are built not only for adults, but for some serious equestrians. Want to build up or maintain your physical fitness through those not so endearing winter months or when your own horse is laid up with an injury? How about practicing posting, sitting the canter, handling the reins, riding like a jockey and more without putting your horse through the process like a guinea pig? This wooden horse was built to handle it all!

The Equicizer Horses, and an Equicizer PonyFrankie Lovato, Jr., who invented and builds the wooden horses, has also supported Therapeutic Riding Programs by donating whenever possible. They use his wooden horses with much success during all seasons! In the October 2008 Horses Magazine he was spotlighted with the following article.


“My name is Frank Lovato and I am a retired professional jockey. Over my 25 year career, I rode in over 15,000 races and had 1,680 winners. What may be even more interesting is that I build horses for people to ride indoors! I named them the Equicizer and they are playing a very serious role in many people’s lives. Maybe you are you thinking, “Why in the world would anyone want or need a mechanical horse for in their home?” You may be surprised to learn why and who is riding off into the sunset right in their own living rooms these days.”

Read the rest of this article and more about Frankie Lovato, Jr. and his Wooden Horses!

Even Craig Cameron has gotten in on the action, showing off the various uses of the Equicizer! Watch the video below, or subscribe to the Equicizer’s YouTube Channel!
