Equine rehabilitation, conditioning, and performance enhancement
therapeutic & conditioning benefits
Low-Impact, High-Intensity Training
The water acts as an anti-gravity force, significantly reducing load on limbs, which can be used to safely rehabilitate injuries. The AquaPacer combines low impact exercise with simple form cryotherapy, allowing for both injury rehabilitation and conditioning in a single session.
Targeted Results & Early Intervention
The power of water resistance
After a few sessions with the AquaPacer, trainers or owners will typically notice improved conditioning and strength. Our staff can leverage the water depth to target muscle groups, to help build strength based on the horse’s needs.
Pre-season preparation
Competitive Conditioning
A well-prepared horse recovers faster, handles intense work better, stays mentally engaged, and maintains a healthy body condition, allowing for peak performance upon competition.
The AquaPacer provides a controlled, high-resistance workout that improves core strength, flexibility, and stride, allowing horses to enter the season fit without the strain of high-impact land work.
benefits for horses of all ages
Year-Round Training for Maintaining Fitness and Building Strength
Pain Management
AquaPacer temperature control offers warm water to relax sore or tight muscles while cold saltwater can be used to reduce inflammation and numb pain.
Cardiovascular health
The water provides natural resistance which challenges the cardiovascular system without the high-impact associated with land-based exercise.
Improved mobility & Flexibility
The combination of water resistance and adjusting the water depth, our team can strengthen specific areas and increase flexibility.
Mental well-being
AquaPacer sessions provide a break from the physical strain of riding. As a novel, engaging activity, hydrotherapy builds strength while preventing mental burnout from overtraining.
Dynamic Workouts
Workouts can change in real-time, such as reducing water depth from hock to fetlock over a session, or transitioning from treadmill exercise to a cold saltwater soak.
