Why Does Your Horse Feel Weak After Winter?
Or is their Spring Freshness masking their strength and fitness?
Even if your horse was fit last summer, winter can set them back. Why?
🐴 Less time working evenly.
🐴 Shorter, lower-intensity rides.
🐴 Muscle loss & postural weakness.
🌊 Water Treadmill Workouts helps strengthen them again without unnecessary strain.
✅ Engages core & stabilisers before ridden work increases.
✅ Prepares joints & muscles for schooling & competition loads.
✅ Fixes seasonal imbalances so they feel powerful again.

Hands up if your Arena is struggling to maintain good footing or starting to resemble a lake at the moment?! 🌧️
Another long month that constantly feels like you’re stopping and starting with your exercising because of the weather!
And most of us actually still try and train and/or compete in winter as much as the summer months!
With less of us being able give our horses the winter off to chill, repair or recover, having access to consistent facilities are critical to striking the balance between sanity and fitness.
So do you give your horse ANOTHER day off when your arenas are not up to speed or you just don’t feel the weather’s vibe yet again,
kicking yourself later for waving goodbye to spring goals, or do utilise an AMAZING facility with specialist staff near by?
I used to have to travel 1.5/2hrs EACH WAY to a water treadmill, and I did it because of the benefits it gave me and my horses through the winter - so much so that I bought my own - so UTILISE THE FACILITIES CLOSE TO YOU 😀🐴
You won’t regret it.

🚀How Can Water Treadmilling Help the Show Jumper ✈️
Show jumpers need more than just strength—they need balance, rhythm, and flexibility to clear those fences cleanly. Hydrotherapy supports all of this.
The water treadmill develops topline and hindquarter strength while improving their coordination and balance.
It’s the perfect complement to traditional training, helping horses build the fitness they need to shave seconds off the clock and leave the poles up.
You will see a difference for the better

Reclaim Your Mojo This Winter
Winter can be a tough time to stay motivated. Less daylight, heavier routines, and those endless grey skies can leave us all feeling a little flat.
But that’s when small wins matter most - like seeing your horse moving better, stronger, and more engaged after a treadmill session.
Whether it’s their suppleness improving or those small steps toward better fitness, hydrotherapy can help you both keep moving forward, even when everything feels slow.
Winter doesn’t have to mean falling behind - sometimes it’s just a chance to build something better.

✨This little superstar has been visiting us since October and bless him, he has had some wonky bits to overcome.
But no matter what he gives a trillion percentage effort 🤣
Whether he is struggling or not I swear he thinks he has nailed the session! Looking at his before and afters I can’t disagree! Still a road ahead but looking awesome going into 2025!

Ok so little fib there, results like these are every day at @yecequinewatertreadmill however these days I am finally remembering to post them 🤣
This jumping laddo has been on his treadmilling journey throughout December and only 6 sessions in he is doing awesome.
⚖️Gaining muscle, more balance, moving straighter, increased stride length.
🏃He started off at a speed of 3.6kph and now 4.2kph! He also has so much fun in his sessions that trying to remind him that this is supposed to be a workout is the hardest part.
We reckon he’s asked santa for some @bose headphones to workout to for his next sesh 🤣

Take a look at this mare’s journey so far—her Water Treadmill sessions are already making a difference!
You saw her stills yesterday, now watch the short clips from her first session through to her fourth and see how much more balanced, coordinated, and powerful she’s become.
📹 Notice the changes?
Session 1: Tentative but willing, rhythm and balance still a bit off, starting to explore the treadmill at fetlock height.
Session 2: Gaining confidence and rhythm, settling into a comfortable stride.
Session 3: Stronger posture and improved coordination, holding her balance with more ease.
Session 4: Testing mid-cannon height water, showing increased strength, flexibility, mire purpose and ground cover in the walk.
✨ By removing rider weight and using water for resistance, she’s able to focus entirely on her movement, making gains that transfer beautifully to her ridden work.
💡 Want to see these kinds of results for your horse? Book your first session now and let’s get started!
