Our state-of-the-art equine water treadmill is available for hire for the fitness and rehabilitation of sports horses of all disciplines.

 

Our treadmill water is chilled to approximately 6°C, allowing horses to benefit from cold-water exercise. Combined with an adjustable incline, each session can be tailored to your horse’s individual needs.

 

Using the natural resistance of water in a low-impact environment, the treadmill can help to:

 

• Develop muscular strength and topline

• Strengthen back and abdominal muscles

• Improve core stability, balance and straightness

• Increase joint mobility and range of motion

• Enhance cardiovascular fitness and conditioning

• Support rehabilitation following veterinary referral*

 

*All rehabilitation clients must be referred by a veterinary surgeon or fully qualified medical practitioner.

 

Under veterinary guidance, the water treadmill can form part of programmes for:

 

• Rehabilitation from injury or surgery

• Kissing spine

• Stifle and sacroiliac dysfunction

• Back pain and poor topline development

• Muscle weakness and asymmetry

• Osteoarthritis

• Recovery following periods of box rest

• General reconditioning after time off work

• Bringing horses back into work safely

• Preparation and conditioning of young horses prior to ridden work

 

Every programme is tailored to the individual horse, with the length and intensity of sessions adapted to their needs and goals.

 

We operate to exceptionally high standards of cleanliness, with strict biosecurity measures in place to prevent cross-contamination between clients.
