Stepping Up: Boston in the AquaTread
Boston is in the tank today, and you absolutely have to watch how incredibly high he lifts his legs!
When we adjust the water to this specific depth, it naturally encourages this exact, snappy, high-stepping action. Forcing them to repeatedly lift their knees and hocks up and out of the water against the hydrodynamic drag is ever so effective for how they build muscle. This exaggerated movement specifically targets the shoulders, stifles, and deep core, forcing them to articulate their joints fully. Because the water’s natural buoyancy creates a liquid cushion, he gets to build all of this massive strength without any of the harsh concussive impact of pounding on arena dirt.
Here at EquiTread Los Angeles, located right inside the beautiful Hansen Dam Horse Park, we love customizing these workouts to help every single horse thrive. We are absolutely not a private club—our barn doors are wide open to the entire Los Angeles equestrian community! Whether you want to haul in for a single session to see what it is all about, build a weekly equine fitness routine, or join our boarding family, we have a place for you and your partner.
