Abstract
Abstract A horse riding type exerciser includes a base, a pair of seat posts and a foot post pivotally coupled to the base. A column is pivotally coupled to the seat posts and has a pair of rollers rotatably engaging with the base. A handle engaged in the column and has a hand grip secured to the handle for pulling the handle. A link pivotally couples the foot post to the column. The hand grip is pulled in order to simulate horse riding type exercises. The handle is disengaged from the column and the link is disengaged from the foot post so as to fold the exerciser to a compact configuration.
