THE TRIPLE CROWN TREATMENT
 

WATER THERAPY - EQUINE SWIMMING POOL

Swimming provides all the benefits  of an aerobic conditioning program WITHOUT the concussion. Furthermore, through 100% buoyancy swimming helps:

• Develop and maintain muscle tone

• Reduction of friction through articulating joints
• Improves cardiopulmonary capacity
• Revitalizes sour horses
• Strengthens stamina
• Offers a high resistance level
• Adds hydrostatic pressure to the work out

AQUA TREADMILL

The Aquapacer, underwater treadmill is an excellent conditioning tool for the equine athlete. The system combines two powerful tools: the natural properties of water and hydrokinetic exercise, all in a user controlled environment. The Aquapacer workout is unparalleled for therapeutic healing and conditioning. Proven benefits include:

• Allows us to target specific areas on the horse

• Provides a controlled exercise environment
• Weight displaced by water allows horse to regain full range of motion
• Hydrostatic pressure to assist blood flow and reduce swelling
• Soft tissue mobilization
• Modulation and reduction of pain
• Allows horse to use its natural stride
• Develops tensil strength in tendons ligaments and muscles to support bone structure
• Enhanced development of the same muscle groups used in ground work without the concussion
• Allows “bleeders” (pulmonary hemorrhage) heal while maintaining condition

EUROCISER

Our 6 horse free moving exerciser is a great alternative to hand walking or even paddock time. It is a safe way for your
equine to have a controlled exercise at different speed intervals and time periods. The eurociser reduces any chance of injury
to horse or handler during hand walking. Here at AEC the eurociser plays a large part in both exercise and rehabilitation, and
is most effective when combined with the other treatments offered at our facility.
