mechanical horse
Ride-on automaton
A mechanical horse is a machine that simulates horseback riding, either for exercise, amusement, or training.
Coin-operated versions outside stores entertain children: She begged for a quarter for the mechanical horse.
Larger versions in gyms or rodeo training facilities replicate the motion of actual riding.
The term also applies to early motorized vehicles that replaced horses, particularly tractors or trucks designed to pull loads a draft horse once would.
