Equine Water Treadmill benefits are endless
Water treadmills are quickly becoming an integral part of the competition horse’s training and development. With the added feature of the incline we can really get your horse working stronger in a non-concussive environment.
Bringing measurable benefits including
✅ All-over suppleness
✅ Increased stride length
✅ Better muscle tone
✅ Increased core strength
✅ cardiovascular fitness
This not only maximises performance and training, but helps to reduce risk of future injury.
This therapy has been backed by endless scientific works and studies.
Studies have also found measurable findings in the following
Regular training in a water treadmill can develop a horses stride length in walk 🐴
After just 4/5 sessions a young horse will noticeably improve its body balance and stability 🐴
When a horse is worked in walk, it shows more muscle activity than in trot in the water 🐴
Muscle volume and strength can be developed 3 to 4 times faster with aqua training compared to hand walking 🐴
The development of back muscles is greatly improved, showing significant strength increase with a daily 20 minute training plan 🐴
Adding hydrotherapy training sessions after canter work seemed to decrease the lactic acid in the horses muscles 🐴
In addition, there are many more benefits observed 👀
Older horses improve overall body condition and muscle tone, the reduced impact from water treadmill allowed them to stay in competition for longer during their later years. 🐴
It can also be used in the rehabilitation of tendon and ligament injuries as well as common back related injuries 🐴
The added incline function improves stamina and fitness and all programmes tailor made to horses individual needs. 🐴
Suitable for horses of all shapes, sizes and disciplines. 🐴

Salt therapy for equine asthma, skin conditions and general health
This treatment for horses is a natural approach that involves introducing dry mineral salts into the horse's respiratory system and coat in a controlled manner.
The purpose of this treatment is to replenish depleted mineral salts, revitalize cells, alleviate mucus congestion, and address various skin conditions such as dermatitis, mud fever, mallanders, sallenders, and overall wound care.
It has been observed that this treatment is beneficial in accelerating the recovery of horses from travel sickness and anxiety. The underlying principle of this treatment is similar to the therapy used for humans, known as halo therapy, but it is specifically applied to horses.

💦Water Treadmill Study💦
'The vast majority of horses present no problems and quickly habituate to the exercise. Once habituated, horses show a high constancy in stride variables.
The movement of the belt makes it difficult for an exuberant horse to buck or rear and so the horse is more constrained than during in-hand walking or on a horse walker.'
