Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) has debuted a state-of-the-art robotic horse in a leap forward for equestrian education. This cutting-edge creation is set to advance the way equestrian students undergo training, offering a meticulously crafted and technologically advanced solution.
Named RoboCob by students and developed in association with Chesire-based Racewood Equestrian Simulators, the £100,000 machine stands as the first of its kind in the country, promising a secure yet highly effective platform for riders to refine their jumping techniques and master dressage skills. Boasting the capability to simulate jumps of up to 1.20 meters, RoboCob takes equestrian training to new heights by providing immediate feedback through its integrated screens.

Officially termed the Equestrian Eventing Simulator, the system can accommodate riders of all levels—whether you're a novice or a seasoned technical rider. This robotic horse is the newest addition to a lineup of techno-logical marvels employed in teaching Horse Care and Equine Studies at SRUC's Oatridge campus in West Lothian.
Advanced system
Unlike traditional training methods, RoboCob doesn't just mimic basic movements—it goes above and beyond. This futuristic simulator not only mirrors precise dressage routines but also throws in challenging scenarios for complex jumping sequences, making the learning experience truly dynamic, according to the team.
The system incorporates robotic cameras and sensors to monitor and document riders' movements, along with biomechanical jackets to assess and measure their posture. Robocob also "allows the rider to experience everything from true-to-life Grand Prix dressage movements, such as Piaffe and Passage, to jumping grid work or negotiating technical combinations on the cross-country course," according to a statement by the college.
The simulator boasts an array of additional features, including the innovative concept of "never-ending jumps." Instructors have the flexibility to modify the distance between jumps, alter the type of jump, and adjust the height, providing a dynamic and customizable training environment
The project aims to boost rider performance and safety and in doing so, improve the well-being of our four-legged friends. Through this high-tech approach, SRUC believes that students can develop their skills with more precision and finesse, creating a positive impact on the overall welfare of horses.
Rider-friendly
RoboCob is also more accessible to all types of riders, as it provides an incredibly realistic experience, but at the same time, it's likely much more forgiving. The robotic horse remains stationary unless you've achieved the right balance, making it an excellent tool for enhancing accuracy.
This forgiving nature allows riders to focus on refining their skills without the immediate challenges posed by a live horse. By ensuring that movement is contingent on proper balance, RoboCob becomes an ideal platform for riders to progressively improve their precision and technique, offering a supportive environment for skill development, according to the team. "It's a fantastic learning resource for our students and a great addition to our outstanding equestrian facilities. The simulator will help improve rider performance and safety and thereby contribute to improving horse welfare," said a statement.
The innovation has helped SRUC earn a spot on the shortlist for a Times Higher Education Award in the Technical or Digital Innovation of the Year category. Additionally, the institution received recognition as a finalist for a Herald Higher Education Innovative Use of Technology Award.
"This is part of our innovative approach to teaching and learning, finding modern digital solutions to deliver active blended learning," said Mary Thomson, Vice Principal of Skills and Lifelong Learning at SRUC, in a statement.
