    Overall Project Goal: Create a Horse Riding Simulator

    Detailed Project goal: I want to try to create a Horse Riding Simulator (incl. VR Environment) which simulates the basic movements of the horse (three gaits) and can be controlled by the rider itself but also by the instructor. It contains therefore sensors for leg and rein pressure and a control interface for the instructor.

    My personal goal regarding this challenging project: Just start the learning journey, learn new things, do something useful. As of now I don't expect that I reach the project goal.

    My Motion Simulator:
    Arduino, 6DOF
    Currently I am investigating if the stewart platform concept is the right approach to simulate the horseback movement. I am trying to understand the mechanism of the platform and therefore looking for a virtual simulation as it is shown in this video 'Stewart platform design and prototype' on YT (can't post the link). Excel based simulation.
    Does anyone know where I can get such file or (free) access to a ready simulation software?
