• How does the aqua treadmill differ from swimming?
The Aqua Treadmill is a controlled environment using the natural stride and movement of the horse. The treadmill allows us to control the water level and speed enabling us to target specific areas of the horses body. Swimming is more of an aerobic exercise using an unnatural movement. Extensive swimming may cause back soreness and stifle issues.

• How long does a horse stay in the treadmill?
Each horse is different. There are so many variables involved in determining a horses fitness needs. Our aqua therapy specialist will consult with the owner, veterinarian, or trainer regarding the therapy/fitness plan.

• How long does it take for my horse to be fit?
It depends on the horse and the desired results. Each horse arrives with a different level of fitness and needs. We recommend a horse stay a minimum of 30 to 60 days to benefit from our program.

• What if my horse is scared of water?
Not a problem! Our skilled staff goes the extra mile to make sure that every horse goes through an initial orientation of the aqua treadmill to insure that your horse has a pleasant and safe experience.
