It is a misconstrued conception that water treadmill is aimed at just recovery/ rehabilitation or for building fitness in competition horses, but this is not the case all types of equines can benefit in different ways from water treadmilling, whilst also encouraging the horse to work in a correct manner developing core stability and strength.
Book a sessionThe benefits of the ECB system include:
The programmes can be tailored by water depth, session length, incline and use of our Equiband Pro system whilst on the treadmill if appropriate. All horses will have their progress monitored via weight, heart rate monitoring and serial measurements of their back musculature. Every horse will unwind under the solarium following their treadmill session whilst we dry their legs.
Find out The Treadmill processExperience
The ECB Aqua Treadmill has been designed and built on 21 years of ECB’s experience in equine hydrotherapy. As market leaders of the equine spa it was a natural progression to research and develop the latest technology in water treadmills.
Safety
The treadmill is made from marine grade steel and safety glass and has features such as quick release breast/rear bars, emergency stop control buttons, light beam sensor and the easiest door opening/ closing system.
Cleanliness
The unique triple filtration system provides the cleanest possible water.
Technology
A computer system allowing tailoring of sessions and storage of individual horse’s programmes.
Incline
The treadmill’s incline can be set from 0 – 12%, giving an extra work out for the horse to build top line and the hind muscle groups. The incline works in single increments so you are not asking your horse too much straight away.
