UnDerwaTer TREADMILL FOR HORSES

PHYSIO-TECH is currently building a special underwater treadmill for horses. The device includes not only the functions of a therapeutic device, but offers much more. It was designed as an indoor training device for high performance horses.

Falabella to Shire Horse ...

Our underwater treadmill is suitable for horses of all breeds and sizes. With a water height of 1.75 m above treadmill level, horses up to a height of 1.90 m are sufficiently relieved from their own body weight. Thus tendons and bones are protected when exercising. There is virtually no risk of injury for the horse.

walk, trot and canter

• Our treadmill is the broadest underwater treadmill in the world. Not only can the horse be trained step by step, but a belt width of 1.10 m ensures that training can be done even in the ground-covering trot.
• A top speed of 60 km/h makes our device the fastest underwater treadmill in the world. Thus even a training gallop is possible.
• In addition, the treadmill can be variably inclined up to 15% during exercise – especially effective for quarter horses and jumpers.

... to peak performance.

A 60 km per hour treadmill speed in the water itself brings even high performance horses to their limits ‒ and beyond. Such training is expanding the performance spectrum continuously. This is true for endurance, speed and jumping power.
