Tryon Maximus was manufactured by Racewood Equestrian Simulators, a small family-owned company in the tiny town of Tarporley in northwest England. Barbro not only conducts training on the simulator, she also contributed greatly to its development based on her own experience and accomplishments (see box).
I’m talking about the new equine simulator at Tryon International Equestrian Center, known as “Tryon Maximus,” and his accompanying trainer, Barbro Ask-Upmark. Now we have another training option that’s one of just two such opportunities in the United States. With rider analysis a growing area of employment, UCS is keen to use this new facility to support students in developing the skills for advanced careers in this sector.Įlla Bartlett, currently completing her MSc Equine Behaviour Performance and Training at UCS said: “This investment in the equine research capabilities will have a great impact on our student experience and makes me even more excited to finish my masters’ course at UCS ”.Barbro approaches XC jump shown on Interactive screen.ī etween our many well-regarded trainers and frequent clinics by outside experts, local riders of all disciplines have lots of ways to sharpen their skills. This exciting new capability is further intensified through the addition of a 3D analysis system for biomechanics research.
With the capability to provide feedback on rein contact, balance in the saddle and leg contact the Racewood Eventing Simulator will play an important role in equine welfare through the improvement of rider skills, an area of particular expertise at University Centre Sparsholt. From Grand Prix dressage to show jumping and cross country, the simulator will bring all equestrian disciplines to life in a controlled, safe environment providing the ideal conditions for rider performance research and analysis. The state-of-the-art simulator uses motion control technology and will enable Sparsholt students to further expand their research in the growing field of rider performance. University Centre Sparsholt (UCS) is the second college in the UK to have a Racewood Eventing Simulator housed in our Rider Performance Studio. We’re proud to say our equine facilities are continuously improving and are now working with the very latest in simulator technology. With our own dedicated Equine Centre, Sparsholt College provides ‘Outstanding’ rated by Ofsted teaching and learning in Equine Studies from Level 1 through to Masters.
