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

• Strengthens stamina

• Offers a high resistance level

• Revitalizes sour horses

• Adds hydrostatic pressure to the workout

• Increases mental alertness in track or arena scared horses

• Great when used in conjunction with Aqua treadmill and Eurociser for complete rehabilitation and physical fitness
   

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

• 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) to 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 Annadale Equine Center the eurociser plays a large part in both exercise and rehabilitation, and is most effective when combined with our swimming pool and Aquapacer treatments offered here at our facility.

Full Body Vibration Therapy

Full Body Vibration Therapy is the latest innovation introduced to the equine industry. FBVT causes involuntary muscle contractions, resulting in improved blood circulation throughout the body. The increased circulation improves the oxygenation in the body’s tissues, removal of toxins & metabolic waste, and enhances the body to heal itself. FBVT also provides enough stimulation to the bone to help prevent the loss of bone density during prolonged periods of inactivity, i.e. lay-ups, rehabilitation, so when returning to work the horse maintains all previous bone stability without the concussion of a land based exercise. Vibration therapy has been proven to promote new hoof growth up to twice the rate of normal hoof growth. Furthermore, it can be helpful with managing chronic laminitis, under-run heels or thin soles.
