Research With a Purpose

From Horse Motion to MiraColt.

Chariot Innovations was founded in 2014 by Dr. Brian Garner, a biomechanical engineer, as part of Baylor University’s Lab-to-Market (L2M) Initiative. His work grew from a practical need: bringing riding motion to people who could not get to, or onto, a live horse.

After seeing the effects of horse motion in therapeutic riding, Brian began developing a stationary device to reproduce that movement. MiraColt’s moving seat puts the resulting rhythmic pattern to work with activities focused on balance, posture, core control, coordination and mobility.

Before 2014Early research and development began in Brian’s garage.
2014Chariot Innovations was founded through Baylor’s L2M Initiative.
Summer 2023The design team released the eighth generation in the device’s development history.
