To fully exploit the technical possibilities of the riding simulator, the SAP Global Sponsorships team connected with SAP AppHaus and Black Horse One GmbH to design an extensive training app using SAP Business Technology Platform. Users exhibited a strong demand for detailed training information to analyze their progress and potential learning gaps to inform long-term training plans. This document didn’t provide all the information users needed to determine further training behaviors. The initial simulator only allowed for a small data set per riding session, which was available in a printed version. Improving Training Analysis with SAP Technology It shows the desire of the RRV to innovate, offer its members the best possible conditions, develop as a riding club, and continuously improve riders’ skills. This kind of simulation is a pioneer project in Germany. The club also provides specific courses such as fear management and mental training for traumatized riders. In close cooperation with professional trainers and guest lecturers, the riding club offers this new experience in various forms to a broad target group. That way, it is easily accessible for club members.īy providing a controlled environment, beginners and professional equestrians get the chance to practice and improve their skills in a simulated training and competition setting. This technical innovation is located in the SAP Equestrian Experience Center that borders the RRV riding area. Furthermore, it guides riders in positioning their legs and reins. The so-called “Sir Waldo” is programmed to simulate several disciplines, such as dressage, jumping, and cross-country riding, and closely examine the saddle’s weight distribution. In 2019, the Walldorf Riding Club (RRV), working with SAP, introduced the Racewood Simulator to its students and teachers – a robot horse that reproduces horses’ movements in virtual training sessions. As an advocate of equestrian sport for almost 10 years, SAP took another step to combine technology and sports with SAP Business Technology Platform.
