Handhold
Physical
the possibility to hold on tight enables intense rocking. This trains the hand and arm muscles.
The Horse Ride is a fun play magnet for primary and middle school children. Rocking on the Horse Ride is a thrilling physical and social activity. The middle bar accommodates friends who want to be rocked, and the circular handholds allow for more handhold heights. The calibrated rocking element provides a smooth, rocking movement. Rocking is not only fun, but it also stimulates physical and socio-emotional skills. The Horse Ride movements help to develop spatial awareness and the sense of balance. These are fundamental motor skills that help the child move confidently. The cooperation and turn-taking in seesawing build important social-emotional skills which are essential for developing an understanding of human interaction that will support the child’s ability to build friendships, for life.
Play Value
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child 'want' or developmentally 'need' to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
Rocking movement
Physical
response to movements adds to spatial awareness and sense of balance which are fundamental motor skills.
Cognitive
trains the understanding of cause and effect: when I move my body, the spring responds with movement.
