About us

Housed within the Equine Therapy Centre, The Margaret Giffen Centre for Rider Performance is a unique facility where riders of all levels and abilities can access world-class resources and expertise. It contains a strength and conditioning gym, treatment room and the Simulator room, housing three
Racewood Simulators, including a Racewood Eventing Simulator and a Mark 10 Racing Simulator.

The Eventing simulator allows riders to experience Grand Prix dressage movements, jump a course of show jumps or go cross country. The simulator is also perfect for those wishing to improve their riding; whether you are a novice, an experienced rider wanting to improve or an elite looking for a winning edge. The Racing simulator allows jockeys to work on their technique and fitness either on their own or with a jockey coach.

Our research is contributing to our understanding of how to train and rehabilitate riders.
