First-Time Use Tips for AquaPacer
initial familiarization
Smooth, Simple, Supported
Horses that are new or feeling unsure are introduced to the system at their own pace. We carefully monitor each horse’s response and make gradual, consistent adjustments to water depth and duration to support confidence, comfort, and strength.
There is always a front handler adjusting position and encouraging biomechanically correct carriage. We understand relaxation, along with maintaining proper head, neck and alignment in their body position are essential to a successful workout.
To ensure proper use, we closely monitor each horse’s posture, behavior, and physical cues to confirm they remain engaged, balanced, and working in a steady, consistent biomechanically correct rhythm essential for optimal results.

Optimal healing environment that improves outcomes compared to land-based therapy alone.
Complement Your Training Program
A 20-minute aquatic session in the AquaPacer is equivalent to 40 minutes of land-based exercise. The system offers a change in routine and reduces the risk of injury from repetitive impact on hard surfaces.
The Aquapacer allows us to target certain muscle groups for an extended time frame. In a traditional riding program these muscle groups are often neglected, or work can only be sustained for short periods of time.
