Equicizer The Equicizer is a mechanical horse that is non-motorized and is controlled by the rider's own movement. Invented by Frank Lovato, Jr. in 1982, it became a popular horse racing simulator for many jockeys and was used in the movie Seabiscuit for closeup horse racing scenes. Today, it is used by therapeutic horseback riding programs as well as by jockeys. ==Origins==
Lovato built his first non-motorized mechanical horse in 1982 while recovering from a riding accident that left him with a seriously broken leg. There were no horse riding simulators on the market at the time, and so he designed one for his own rehabilitation.〔 As word got out about his invention, Lovato began receiving requests from other jockeys to build more,〔 and the design evolved into the Equicizer.〔 Lovato originally manufactured Equicizers in his garage and could produce five a month, which were purchased by many top jockeys.〔 In 2011 he sold the Equicizer to a company called Equisense, to be manufactured and marketed more widely.
