This in turn can help build stamina, general fitness, muscle tone, builds back muscles and encourages self-carriage. The action horses must adopt whilst walking through the water, whether this is a high step or more wading action, also helps increase the horse’s range of movement and stride length.

Reduction in inflammation, swellings and soreness in joints and tendons, thanks to the chilled water helping to reduce oedema
