RideSmart Simulator

02/11/2026

One of the most rewarding things about riding Lloyd, is seeing the difference it makes when riders get back on a real horse. 🐴

Its not just about riding a simulator, it's about developing balance, coordination, feel and understanding your own body. By taking away distractions from a real horse we can concentrate on all these and help you develop your skills. Ultimately, making you a better rider for your horse.

We offer a variety of different sessions, private, semi private, groups and also a combined simulator lesson followed by a horse lesson (max 12stone), or bring your own horse, so you can really put into practice straight away what you have been working on.

Get in touch for more information or to book a session. 🐴

I went to Racewood Limited a couple of weeks ago and booked a session with Nicky Caden BHSII. It was great to have a session, discuss exercises and how each simulator differs. Nicky kindly let me sit in on a few other sessions and observe. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to be able to get back up to Cheshire again. Looking forward to getting stuck into the new exercises with all my lovely clients, exciting times ahead.

Want to improve your balance, confidence, and technique?
Whether you’re returning to riding after an injury, brushing up on your basics, or refining your aids, RideSmart with Lloyd is a fantastic way to focus on you as a rider.

The simulator gives riders time to think, feel, and understand their position without worrying about a live horse — which means better habits when you get back in the saddle.

This video shows a young rider working hard on her balance and technique. We’ve been using targeted exercises to help her understand how her body works, where it should be, and how small changes can make a big difference to her riding.

RideSmart is suitable for all ages and abilities.

Let me introduce myself — I’m Natalie, the coach for the RideSmart Simulator, Lloyd.

I am a qualified BHS instructor and have been teaching for 25 years, working with riders of all ages and abilities. Since founding Toll Bar Equestrian, I’ve also been fortunate enough to teach using our simulator, which I absolutely love.

My passion has always centred around rider position and biomechanics. When a rider is balanced, aligned, and effective, the horse can move more freely — creating a harmonious partnership between horse and rider.

Using Lloyd gives you the chance to focus entirely on you — whether that’s developing technique, improving balance, or rebuilding strength and confidence after time out of the saddle.

So far, I’ve helped riders with confidence issues, injury rehab, happy hackers, dressage riders, stunt riders, and of course those simply wanting to fine-tune their position and technique.

I also offer a combined session: 30 minutes on Lloyd followed by 30 minutes on your horse or mine (weight limit 12 stone). These sessions have become really popular, as the simulator leaves you warm, relaxed, and correctly engaged — meaning riders feel more prepared, and the horse can feel the benefit too.
