Marengo, our Equicizer, was designed for training. In 1982, jockey Frank Lovato Jr. built a wooden horse and springs thinking that he would help him in the rehabilitation of a badly fractured leg, after suffering an accident in a horse race. The support he received from other riders encouraged him to improve on the original design, making the Equicizer the product it is today.

We have added to the Equicizer a front screen that allows you to play videos recorded in subjective camera and specially designed training sessions. The combination of the Equicizer plus the screen allows many other aspects to be worked on, in addition to those for which the mechanical horse was initially intended.
