Not all strength work is equal.

Building muscle is one thing. Building the right muscle, in the right pattern, is another. Structured treadmill sessions allow us to influence how the horse loads through the hind end, engages the core and supports the topline.

When the body learns to work correctly without the added variables of rider, footing or environment, those patterns transfer more effectively under saddle.

If you are chasing stronger, more stable movement, we can help guide the process.

Movement improves circulation. Improved circulation supports recovery.

Water resistance encourages muscle engagement while the buoyancy reduces load through joints. This combination makes it a valuable tool for horses needing low impact support.

Sometimes the quiet, steady sessions make the biggest difference. DM to book your horse in for some recovery sessions.

Tailored to Your Horse
No two horses are the same, and their training should not be either.

Water treadmill programs can be adjusted to suit each horse, with changes to water depth, speed, and session length to match their current level and goals.

Whether your horse is coming back from injury or building fitness for the season ahead, sessions can be tailored to support steady, safe progress.

If you would like to incorporate water treadmill work into your horse’s routine, get in touch to discuss a program suited to your horse.

💥Let's talk BEMER Therapy?

BEMER therapy is a cutting-edge technology designed to enhance circulation, promoting the body's natural healing and self-regulating functions. By improving blood flow, BEMER ensures that essential oxygen, nutrients, immune cells, and chemical messengers are efficiently delivered to every cell, tissue, and organ. This not only helps in maintaining overall health but also aids in the effective removal of metabolic waste, which is crucial for optimal bodily function.

At Peringa Equine, we integrate BEMER therapy into our rehabilitation and fitness training programs for horses. Whether your horse is recovering from an injury, building strength, or just needs a performance boost, BEMER therapy offers a non-invasive solution to support their health. It's especially beneficial for racehorses spending a few weeks with us for rejuvenation.

Curious about how Peringa Equine can assist your horse? Drop me a DM, and let's discuss how BEMER therapy can be part of your horse’s wellness routine.

10 Fun Facts About Horses Using Treadmills

(1) Consistency:
Treadmills provide a consistent and controlled environment for training, regardless of weather conditions. This ensures that horses can maintain a regular exercise routine without disruptions due to rain, snow, or extreme heat.

(2) Precision in Exercise Regimens:
Speed and Incline Adjustments: Trainers can precisely control the speed and incline on a treadmill, allowing for customized workout plans that target specific fitness goals, whether it’s building stamina, strength, or recovery from injury.

(3) Rehabilitation and Recovery:
Injury Recovery: Treadmills, especially underwater treadmills, are excellent tools for rehabilitating horses recovering from injuries. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints and tendons while still providing resistance, which helps in gradual recovery.

(4) Cardiovascular Fitness:
Heart Health: Regular treadmill workouts improve cardiovascular health. Horses benefit from enhanced heart and lung capacity, similar to how human athletes improve their endurance through controlled cardiovascular training.

(5) Gait Analysis:
Biomechanics Study: Treadmills allow for detailed gait analysis. Veterinarians and trainers can observe and correct gait abnormalities with the horse walking or trotting in place, which can be challenging in a free-moving environment.

(6) Behavioral Benefits:
Mental Stimulation: Using a treadmill can provide mental stimulation and reduce boredom, especially for horses that are stabled for long periods. It offers a change of routine and engages their minds in a new type of activity.

(7) Weight Management:
Healthy Weight: Regular treadmill exercise helps manage a horse’s weight, particularly for those that may not get enough activity otherwise. This is crucial for preventing obesity and related health issues.

(8) Safety and Supervision:
Safer Workouts: Treadmills allow for safer workouts under close supervision, reducing the risk of injury from uneven terrain or unexpected environmental hazards that could occur during outdoor rides.

(9) Multi-Disciplinary Use:
Versatility: From racehorses and show jumpers to dressage and therapy horses, treadmills are versatile tools used across various equestrian disciplines to improve fitness, performance, and well-being.

(10) Advanced Technology:
Data Collection: Modern horse treadmills are often equipped with advanced technology for data collection, such as heart rate monitors and stride sensors, providing valuable insights into the horse’s fitness level and progress.

Improving Movement and Flexibility
Struggling with stiffness or wanting to improve your horse’s movement?

Treadmill sessions encourage longer, more deliberate strides, helping to improve joint range and overall flexibility.

This can be especially helpful for horses recovering from injury, or those needing a bit more freedom through the shoulders, hips, or hocks.

Small improvements in movement often lead to big changes in performance and comfort. DM us to book your horse in and improve their movement & flexibility
