Horse Riding Simulator Makes You Look Like a Fool

by Terrence O'Brien on May 13, 2008 at 09:30 AM


Learning to ride a horse sounds like fun, but we can't imagine that embarrassing ourselves on the $10,000 Ridemaster Pro is really going to help anyone towards that goal. The horse riding simulator -- which looks like someone stuck one of those 25-cent pony rides from outside a super market in front of a wide screen TV -- teaches you the basics of riding and jumping, plus helps you work those all important leg muscles you'll need when you actually climb up on a real horse.

In fact, the only thing sadder than having to ride this affront to nature and the sport of horse riding is allowing yourself to be video-taped while riding it. [Source: Ridemaster, via Geek Sugar]
