<p>An exerciser (1) for humans or animals is disclosed. The exerciser comprises a base (2) for mounting on a support surface such as the ground with an electric motor mounted on the base (2). The electric motor is coupled to a direct drive gearbox which in turn is coupled by means of a hollow shaft to a drive shaft. The drive shaft and superstructure mounted on top of it is supported by a vertical support comprising a barrel with taper bearings and a barrel support outward of the barrel. The barrel support and not the barrel is mounted to the base, by welding, so as not to compromise the close tolerance of manufacture of the cylinder. The drive shaft has a vertical axis and extends upwardly to a turntable (3) that is driven to rotate by the drive shaft. A plurality of arms (5) is mounted on the turntable (3) and each extend radially outward there from. The arms (5) are equally angularly spaced from each other and arm extensions (8) are mounted on each arm (5). The arm extensions (8) are telescopically received within the associated arm (5) and locating formations receive the arm extension within the arm by the correct length. Dividers (10) are suspended from each arm extension (8) to divide the exerciser 1 up into different compartments each of which can receive a horse.</p> |
