[0039] The working process of this product:

[0040] Horse movements can be broadly categorized into five types: slow walking, fast walking, cantering, trotting, and head-turning. This product simulates the movement of the horse's front legs by controlling the front leg electric cylinder 118 to drive the front support arm 113, which in turn drives the front beam 107 up and down. The hind leg electric cylinder 115 drives the rear support arm 114, which in turn drives the rear beam's movable support arm 110, which in turn drives the rear beam 105 to simulate the up and down movement of the horse's hind legs. For example, when a horse is walking, the mechanism controls the front leg electric cylinder 118 and the hind leg electric cylinder 115 to move in opposite directions, driving the front beam 107 and the rear beam 105 to form a seesaw-like, staggered up and down motion of the horse's body, simulating a slow walk. Simultaneously, the longitudinal axis 104 coordinates the horse's body's left and right rolling motion, and the saddle mount 103 moves left and right to achieve lateral swinging, simulating the horse's left and right swaying and achieving a realistic effect. When a horse is trotting, the front leg electric cylinders 118 and hind leg electric cylinders 115 are controlled to move simultaneously in the same direction, causing the horse's body, composed of the front beam 107 and the rear beam 105, to move up and down in a regular horizontal motion. Simultaneously, the longitudinal axis 104 coordinates the horse's body with a left-right rolling motion, and the saddle mount 103 moves left and right to achieve a lateral swing, simulating the horse's left-right swaying to achieve a realistic effect. Similarly, other movements can be simulated by adjusting the electric cylinder movement pattern as needed, highly recreating various horse movements.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
