Our state-of-the-art water walker is engineered to the highest specifications, featuring a 28mm nonslip rubber floor that provides optimal cushioning for horses. The robust 150mm concrete walls maintain a cool water temperature, mimicking the benefits of post-exercise ice treatments, which enhances recovery.

Constantly calibrated with essential salts and minerals, our water walker ensures a clean and safe environment for all equine participants. The documented benefits of water walker therapy have proven invaluable for horses at various stages of their training and rehabilitation.

Pre-Training

Utilizing the water walker for pre-training allows horses to build muscle across their entire body through low-impact exercise. The water’s depth, reaching up to 1400mm, not only strengthens joints but also significantly enhances overall fitness. This preparatory stage provides performance horses with a competitive edge, better equipping them for the rigorous demands of race or performance training.
Trainers have observed that horses engaged in pre-training on the water walker achieve peak fitness more rapidly, thanks to the foundational work laid during this phase. Depending on each horse’s previous training status, noticeable benefits can emerge in as little as two weeks, with optimal results typically observed between six and eight weeks.

Rehabilitation

Water therapy has long been recognized as a vital element of rehabilitation for both humans and horses. The water walker enables horses to recover from joint and soft tissue injuries without the impact associated with traditional trackwork. As horses progress through their recovery, walking in the water helps fortify the ligaments and muscles surrounding their joints, providing enhanced protection against existing or potential injuries.

Rest and Recovery

Like humans, horses thrive in a relaxed environment, and the water walker offers them a refreshing escape while maintaining fitness between racing or performance campaigns. Many horses have shown remarkable rejuvenation after just two weeks of water sessions combined with paddock time.

Trainers frequently report that their horses return to training fully refreshed, seamlessly resuming their previous campaigns after only two weeks of water therapy. Our water walker sessions become a highlight of their day, with horses eager to engage in this enjoyable and beneficial activity.
