Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for simulating the different gaits of a horse and the interventions to be carried out for driving it.
  • This device is intended to allow riders and non-riders to analyze themselves the different gaits of a horse and to become familiar with them to be able to use with profit the new method of riding called "Balance Method”.
  • This method consists for a rider, by knowing the mechanisms of the horse's locomotion and its natural reflexes, to use these to his advantage to help the horse and more easily create the conditioned reflexes that the rider needs to make him take attitudes or execute changes of direction and unnatural movements for him.
  • the rider should know the exact contact times on the ground of each member of the horse in order to be able to voluntarily use his own weight, via the saddle and stirrups, at such and such a time. depending on the supports he wants to strengthen or reduce. This is what we improperly call, in common parlance, the "weight aids although it is a question, by the internal forces of the rider, of using all or part of his mass to act on the horse .
  • riders should therefore have a perfect knowledge of the succession of supports on the ground for the horse's hooves and air supports for each of its members, according to its different gaits. However, it is also essential that they understand the sequence of horse movements and the transitions between its different gaits. Furthermore, it is necessary for the riders to train themselves to carry out a determined intervention at the exact moment when it is effective, which poses a delicate problem taking into account the different reaction times of each individual, and of each horse, the duration of these reaction times ranging between hundredths and tenths of a second.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is designed so as to allow riders and non-riders to familiarize themselves beforehand with the various movements of a horse and to train in the chamber to carry out determined interventions in simulating the execution of these during the horse's movements.
  • the user of this device can immediately realize whether the intervention planned by him was carried out at the exact desired time, or on the contrary, too early, or even too late. It is then possible for him to repeat this training until he manages to act at the right time. In addition, apart from this training possibility, the user can use this device to analyze the different types of paces of a horse and familiarize themselves with the succession of hoof posers in each case considered.
  • each figuration lamp for the support time of one of the hooves of a horse there is provided a second figuration lamp, the lighting of which is intended to represent the exact support time in air from the same shoe, that is to say from lifting it to setting it down, the lamps of this second set of figuration lamps being supplied by circuits controlled by the same control devices as the figuration lamps of the supports of the hooves in order to reproduce, in combination with these, different types of gait of a horse.
  • the display board includes the representation of the silhouette of a horse and its rider, and of traces representing the four hooves of this horse, and it is provided in. the location defined by each of these traces, a pair of lamps one representing the moment of support and the other the moment of support of the corresponding shoe, while in place of a single signaling lamp, it is provided a series of such lamps intended to each represent a specific intervention of a rider and which are arranged on or against the silhouette of the horse in positions corresponding to the particular nature of these interventions, each of these lamps being connected in a circuit comprising a control key available to the user and the arrangement of which is such that the closing of this circuit ensures both the lighting of this lamp and the blocking of the circuits of the figuration lamps in the state in which they are at this time.
  • the device according to the invention consists of a housing 5 whose upper face constitutes a display board.
  • This comprises four figuration lamps 1, 2, 3, 4 arranged so as to represent the supports of the four members of a horse; lamps 1 and 3 correspond respectively to the left rear shoe and the right rear shoe, while theInventnpes 2 and 4 correspond respectively to the left front shoe and the right front shoe.
  • These lamps can consist of light-emitting diodes appearing behind a screen 6, transparent or translucent, occupying part of the upper face of the case 5, or arranged perpendicularly to the latter.
  • These lamps are powered by four separate electrical circuits which can be slaved to different control devices capable of imparting to them different ignition rhythms and sequences so as to reproduce different types of paces of a horse, in particular: trotting and galloping .
  • At least three separate control devices corresponding to these three gears are therefore provided.
  • the control devices thus provided may consist of devices comprising time switches, adjustable or not.
  • the upper face of the casing 5 carries a series of operating members making it possible to swap the control devices, or to change the computer programs to which the figuration lamps 1, 2, 3 are controlled. , 4.
  • These operating members can consist of keys 7 distributed in three boxes 8, 9 and 10 corresponding respectively to the step, the trot and the gallop. Each of these boxes can then comprise either a single key, or possibly several keys in order to be able to represent variants of the same shape.
  • the upper face of the housing 5 includes a fifth lamp 12 constituting a signaling lamp, the lighting of which is intended to indicate a specific intervention on a horse for the conduct of it.
  • This lamp is supplied by a separate circuit comprising a contactor actuated by a button 13.
  • this fifth lamp 12 is connected to that of the figuration lamps 1, 2, 3, 4 and the arrangement is such that the closing of the circuit of the lamp 12 ensures the blocking of the circuits of the figuration lamps in the state in which they are at the time when the user of the apparatus acts on the button 13 for controlling the lamp 12.
  • this device allows a rider who is just starting out to analyze the different gaits of a horse and to familiarize himself with the succession of ground supports for his hoofs.
  • Figure 2 shows another embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention.
  • the display board 5a of this device includes the representation 14 of the silhouette of a horse seen in plan from above as well as the representation 15 of the saddle of the rider thereof.
  • lines 16 in the shape of a horseshoe, which represent the location of the four corresponding horse hooves.

  • these figurative lamps 1a, 2a, 3a and 4a are arranged inside the layout 16 of the various corresponding shoes.
  • another figuration lamp 1b, 2b, 3b or 4b which is intended to represent the exact time of support in the air of the corresponding shoe, that is to say ie the time to get up from it.
  • These two series of figuration lamps are of different colors, for example red for the supports and green for the supports.
  • These various lamps are connected to supply circuits slaved to control devices capable of imparting to them different ignition rhythms and sequences to reproduce different types of paces of a horse.
  • the change from one pace to another can be controlled by successive presses of a general control key 17, a series of indicators 18 being provided to indicate the pace ordered on the device.
  • signaling lamp 12 Instead of a single signaling lamp 12 intended to indicate on its own different types of intervention determined on a horse for driving it, there are provided several signaling lamps, each of which illustrates a particular intervention. In addition, these different signal lamps are arranged on or against the silhouettes 14 and 15 of the horse and its rider in precise positions corresponding to the type of each of the interventions to be illustrated.
  • the lamps 19a, 20a, 21a or 19b, 20b, 21b which are intended to illustrate three different types of actions of the rider on the caliper located on the corresponding side, the two lamps 19a, 19b signaling a counterweight action towards the front, the two lamps 20a and 20b a vertical pressure in the transverse plane passing through the center of gravity of the horse and the two lamps 21a and 21b backward action.
  • the lamps 19'a and 19'b have the function of signaling an action of adding weight to the right or to the left when the horse presses his right or left anterior.
  • Two other lamps 23a and 23b arranged at the location of one and the other hand of the rider, have the function of representing the intervention of the hands on the reins.
  • two other signal lamps 24a and 24b have the role of illustrating the repercussion of these interventions on the mouth and on the attitude of the horse.
  • Two other lamps 25a and 25b arranged at the location where the rider's buttocks would be on the saddle, have the function of indicating a weighing on the horse's back with the weight of the upper body on either one or the other of the two buttocks, or on both.
  • These various signal lamps are in different colors from the figuration lamps for the supports and supports of the horse's hooves. Thus, they can be yellow, with the exception of lamps 22a and 22b which are of a still different color, for example blue.
  • the various signaling lamps are connected in separate supply circuits each comprising a particular control button, respectively 19c, 19'c, 20c, 21c, 22c, 23c and 25c for the lamps 19a, 19'a, 20a, 21 a, 22a, 23a and 25a, and 19d, 19'd, 20d, 21 d, 22d, 23d and 25d for lamps 19b, 19'b, 20b, 21b, 22b, 23b and 25b.

  • the connection of the circuits is such that the operation of one or more of the push-buttons on the keyboard 26 causes not only the lighting of the corresponding signaling lamps, but also a change in the pace of the horse which had been previously programmed by operating the general control push-button 17. This change is then a function of the nature of the jumper's intervention (s) such as they are materialized by the depressing of one or more of the push-buttons on the keyboard 26.
  • connection of the various circuits is such that during the operation of one or more of the push-buttons on the keyboard 26, the desired change in speed is obtained and immediately after the blocking of the various figuration lamps for the supports and supports of the horse's hooves, which allows to have the representation of the corresponding transition.
  • the positioning of the reverser in position B makes it possible to verify, during the course of the figuration of the movement of the horse, if the synchronization is respected.
  • the operator can therefore observe the change in the pace of the horse by modifying the rhythm of the success of the supports on the ground and of the supports.
