I spent almost two years building this life-size mechanical riding horse for my horse-crazy daughter
My 9-year-old daughter has always been horse crazy, so I wanted to build her something she had never seen before.
What started as a crazy idea turned into nearly two years of designing, prototyping, rebuilding and fine-tuning until the riding motion finally felt natural.
Everything was designed from scratch and built in my small home workshop. The mechanism is powered by a standard drill and a worm gearbox, creating a smooth and surprisingly realistic riding motion.
It became by far the most ambitious project I’ve ever built, but seeing my daughter’s face when she rode it for the first time made every single hour worth it.
I’d be happy to answer any questions!
