Underwater equine treadmill

The ECB aqua treadmill is an effective and modern system providing the user with the latest technology and performance analysis. Individual results in training and rehabilitation of each horse can therefore be reached. High quality materials and numerous safety features allow for saltwater or dry use. Advanced fitness can be reached with effective uphill training, provided by the belt incline. With the unique self-cleaning filtration system and the use of nappies, water can be used for over one month instead of weekly or daily water changes. Easy access ports beneath the treadmill allow for cleaning of sediment and dirt under the belt. Training on the water treadmill has been proven to enhance endurance and power. Water depth, belt incline and belt speed are used to provide a controlled environment for the rehabilitation of spinal conditions or injuries of the extremities. The development of specific muscle groups can be expedited and buoyancy lowers the high pressure acting on the skeleton and tendons. Also, movement against the pressure of water motivates the horse to increase their natural movement pattern. This leads to more use of back and rear part muscles creating a stronger top line, more balance and coordination. The ECB Aqua Treadmill is an indispensable supplement for the training and rehabilitation of horses. A relaxed, straight walk is the most effective gait to be used for aqua training, with benefits for all kinds of equestrianism.
