Horse riding fitness equipment

Abstract

Horse riding fitness equipment includes a base provided at the top thereof with two support rods for pivotally connecting with four linked plates. Two linked plates of the four linked plates are located correspondingly to each other and are hung downward in such a manner that the lower ends extending downward from a seat frame are pivotally connected to the lower ends of the linked plates. Thereby, the seat frame is suspended from the support rods via the linked plates, and a cushion fixed on the seat frame can swing back and forth relative to the support rods. When the user sits on the cushion and starts to straighten his/her back repeatedly, the user will feel a sensation similar to riding a horse.
