The Home Horse is a game-changing device that revolutionizes the way we can exercise.
A Fitness tool that combines patterned co-contractions of core muscles, pelvic floor, abdominals and obliques, with balancing and stretching, especially the hip abductors that directly translate to enhanced balance and core strength as well as posture.
The Home Horse has far reaching applications beyond the equestrian community and is a fun and challenging new way to effectively simulate some of the neuromuscular benefits of equine movement and achieve greater flexibility, core strength and balance.
The Home Horse Story
My grandfather Erich brought his skills as a Horseman to the United States and established a training and show stable modeled on what he had known in Europe. He was instrumental in the organization of the first US Grand Prix jumping competition held at the Chagrin Polo Fields in Ohio.
Together with my grandmother Eleanor, they raised three daughters well schooled in horsemanship and competition. The eldest daughter, my mother Leonore and my father Paul established the Hudson Equestrian Center / Bochum Farms six decades ago continuing the tradition of producing top Horses and Riders for Hunter/ Jumper competitions.
As children, my siblings and I were taught to ride well before we could walk and talk, Pony Club, Fox Hunting, Polo, we rode in competitions of all types, Equitation, Jumper and Combined Training.
I created the Home Horse to assist my own children in their development of a deep and secure balanced seat. Something to practice on at home in between their riding lessons and competitions. My career as an artist gave me insight into materials and processes and allowed me to experiment with effective designs to help them keep their competitive edge. I began using the Home Horse myself once the design got large enough for an adult and quickly realized that this was more than an equestrian trainer, it's a beautiful balance and core workout platform that everybody could enjoy.
The Home Horse is a perfect synthesis of form and function and is revolutionizing the way we exercise at Home and Work.
