Wondering why you never see us trotting horses through water on our treadmill?👇🏻 Let me explain! 👇🏻Walking on a water treadmill is profoundly different in terms of biomechanics compared to walking on land, especially the trot gait. Increased water height amplifies your horses flight arc (Swing Phase), reducing stride frequency and increasing stride length. Increased speed introduces higher impact & stress on the horses joints compared to walking through water. The heightened resistance at a trot leads to undesirable movement patterns in the water treadmill. Specifically, trotting in water treadmills typically produces excessive head and neck movement, shortened stride length, and hollowed extension of the thoracic & lumbar spine. I seek to achieve a consistent rhythm of footfalls, collection through the head and neck (cervical vertebrae), and engagment of the topline & hindquarters. The benefits of water treadmill exercises can be achieved without trotting!

Treadmill VS Pool : Let’s Talk 😉
The most asked question I get is usually along the lines of, “What’s the difference between swimming and treading?” OR “Why do you tread horses instead of swimming them?”.
Im here to tell you why.
Equine Swimming Pools can be a great tool if your equine’s individual needs and goals align with what the pool can offer. However, studies have shown that swimming our equine friends can outweigh the benefits if not utilized correctly.
🏊 While swimming, the equine’s body can undergo significant stress due to the considerable energy required for the horse to propel himself through the water.
💧 Horses adopt an inverted posture while swimming in order to keep their head above water. They extend their neck and back while using their forelimbs to maintain balance and their hindlimbs for propulsion. This is where the extreme range of motion of the hindlimbs comes into play.
❌ Swimming is not usually suitable for equines that exhibit back or neck pain, upper limb & pelvic lameness, and respiratory problems.
Equine Aquatic Treadmills are designed to provide low-impact (that still offers concussion) exercise and rehabilitation for our equine athletes.
📝 With an Aquatic Treadmill, you are able to customize and control the workload that the horse will be going through. This includes water temperature (Hot or Cold), water height, speed and session duration.
✔️While walking through the water on the treadmill, your horse is able to work in an ideal posture that engages their topline and hind-end muscles without extreme ROM throughout their joints.
👟Unlike equine pools where the horse is undergoing complete flotation, the aquatic treadmill is designed to keep the horse at semi flotation meaning that there is very low-impact concussion going through their limbs with each stride. This low-impact concussion helps to naturally move bloodflow and lymphatic fluid through their legs.
