Annadale Equine Center is dedicated to the fitness and rehabilitation of the equine athlete. The focal point of the complex is the “Aqua Pacer”, designed specifically for the equine athlete. The aqua pacer combines natural properties of water (resistance, hydrokinetic pressure, buoyancy) and the horses natural movement for therapeutic healing, strengthening and conditioning.

  The AquaPacer workout is unparalleled for therapeutic healing and conditioning. Horses are encouraged to use the same muscles, ligaments and tendons that are employed in traditional land-based exercise but without the stress and trauma.
 
  Annadale’s therapeutic sessions in the AquaPacer can be fully customized to each horse through variable water heights, variable treadmill speeds and variable water temperatures.
 
  Benefits include: reduced weight bearing, reduced impact on limbs, soft tissue mobilization, modulation and reduction of pain, joint decompression, reduction of friction between articulating joints, hydrostatic pressure to assist blood flow and reduce swelling.
 
  Resulting in: reduced recovery time by 50-60%, improved healing, improved performance, accelerated conditioning, advanced muscle development, improved cardiovascular fitness, improved range of motion and flexibility, promotes correct posture and a balanced gait, minimizes performance injuries.
