Conditioning

Early conditioning on treadmill systems help tendons, ligaments and joint capsules to tighten and increase in tensile strength. Thus preparing a horse for the heavier training required to prepare the animal for the race track or equestrian shows. Additionally, this form of hydrotherapy involves a massaging action produced by air and water jets, which creates a whirlpool effect smoother and more consistant than can be done by hand.

Horses love this relaxing and invigorating form training and both vets & trainers agree that this hydrotherapy system is physically and psychologically beneficial to the animal.

"As an equine chiropractor and therapist I strongly believe in the Aqua Tread Mill not only for therapeutic reasons but also for the benefits of being fit in the right places to prevent many injuries. I know of horses that have been made sound by using an Aqua Tread Mill. I recently adjusted 2 horses of Stacie's that she had been conditioning for about a month and I was amazed by their conditioning especially of how much stronger they were in their shoulders. In the time that I have known Stacie I have always been impressed with the way she cares for her horses, they are always well fed and healthy."
