Seems to me it would be more efficient to put the horse out front and let it walk on the street.
But it is an amusing idea!

  That's about as useful as "ninnies" on a boar hog!!

 They made a point of not leaving any Email addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers, etc.  This is probably the same folks that are always selling that $58,000.00 trailer for....$4126.37....... You know the ones that need for you to send the money to Somalia, because the trailer can't be shipped until they get back to Canada, because the Western Union said the Com-Check..........

So why do they not just ride the horse - far more efiecient... idiots!   I would like to see the driver of that coping with a really hot horse, or what would happen if it spooked or started to panic... and what if you need to slam on brakes....

Someone went to an awfull lot of trouble to make idiots out of themselves....

I don't know if I missed it but I never saw a horse working it in the videos. All I saw was the picture of tied in it. The tread mill part didn't look all that sturdy to me.

I have to laugh. Look at the tire rims on that thing! Those are nicer than what I had on my first car!

The thing that got me (besides the absolute absurdity of the thing) was that you could enter a contest to win the patent on the contraption AND $100,000.  Did I get that right?  Sounds super fishy to me.
