💦 Not Sure If Your Horse Would Like the Water Treadmill?
You're definitely not the first person to wonder that.
We've introduced ALOT of horses to the treadmill. Some walk straight on without a second thought, while others need a little more time and reassurance. Both are completely normal.
The first session is all about creating a positive experience. We use plenty of praise, patience and fibre nuggets to help horses feel relaxed and confident. In our experience, the vast majority settle very quickly.
For many horses, walking onto the treadmill is actually the biggest hurdle. Once they've been through a few times and understand what's being asked, most become much more relaxed. We start with a dry walk so they can find their balance and rhythm before introducing any water.
The water itself is often less of a concern than owners expect. Because the horse is already walking on a solid surface, many accept it surprisingly well and simply continue focusing on the job in front of them.
If you've been curious about whether your horse would cope, why not come and see for yourself?
