Horse Gym Water Treadmill

Equine Health Centre is the UK Distributor for the Aquatrainer – the market-leading Aqua Horse Water Treadmill.  This is a saltwater treadmill for horses that complements and enhances training programmes across the spectrum, from rehabilitation through to full training; it is suitable for all breeds and disciplines.

There is no other product design available in the UK, boasting German engineering, enhanced safety features, simple use, superior filtration and specialist after sales care from the team behind The Seawalker.

Aquatrainer can be run with saltwater or as a dry treadmill with upgraded models that can achieve up to 25km/hr and up to 1.2 metres of water depth.

The Horse Gym 2000 water filtration system ensures the water can be used for up to 3 months.

For both routine and occasional deeper cleaning the Aquatrainer has very accessible cleaning apertures to reach sediments without having to spend an afternoon rolling around under the treadmill. Aquatrainers can be built into a recess in the ground without compromising cleanliness.

Aquatrainer offer resistance and endurance training without the weight of a rider or high speeds associated with conventional training. The variable depth allows different muscle groups to be targeted and the horses gait to be manipulated in order to achieve individual results. We know the EHC  Seawalker offers considerable fitness and development benefits to horses moving in water.  Horses on an Aquatrainer have resistance to their gait, creating an entirely different form of exercise, one that can only otherwise be achieved by real-life wading or in a Seawalker.

Equine Water Treadmill

When your stand beside a horse training in Aquatrainer you’ll be amazed to see the muscles working.

When full of water the Aquatrainer best suits walking, ensuring muscle groups are carefully trained and balanced. The intention is the horse will be relaxed during training. Their mind is fresh, the body is loose and their walking position is straight.  Models can be manufactured that can achieve higher speeds when not operated with water.
