Our Aquatread system combines the benefits of low-impact exercise with the therapeutic properties of water resistance. This innovative treadmill allows for controlled movement in a buoyant environment, reducing stress on joints while enhancing strength, endurance, and flexibility. Whether for rehabilitation, conditioning, or performance improvement, Aquatread therapy is tailored to meet the unique needs of every horse.
Aquatread therapy is a cornerstone of our rehabilitation and conditioning programs at Foxhall Equine. Utilizing the AquaPacer Pro underwater treadmill system, this modality combines low-impact movement with the natural resistance of water to support musculoskeletal recovery, build strength, and improve overall athletic function.
The buoyant environment reduces concussive forces on joints, tendons, and ligaments while encouraging active, full-range limb motion. As horses move through the water, they engage their core, develop topline musculature, and improve stride symmetry—all without the strain of traditional ground-based exercise. This makes Aquatread therapy ideal for:
Each session is supervised by experienced staff and customized to the individual horse’s medical status, fitness level, and performance goals. Water height, treadmill speed, and session duration are adjusted in real time to ensure safe, effective progression through each phase of recovery or conditioning.
Aquatread therapy not only accelerates healing and reduces compensatory movement patterns, but also improves balance, cardiovascular fitness, and mental focus. Whether returning to work after injury or preparing for peak competition, horses benefit from the structured support this modality provides as part of a complete sports medicine approach.
