Water Treadmill
Aqua Icelander
Aqua training is strength and endurance training, without the weight of the rider. The treadmill belt can be set from a 0-10% incline for controlled uphill training. Working through water increases the range of motion of the fore and hind limbs which can help to engage their core muscles, plus the thoracic and lumber spine are under positive training during the course of the exercise. The properties of water allow for reduced weight bearing on limbs and reduced concussion, along with the benefits of the anti-inflammatory effects of chilled salt water.

"A huge thank you to Laura and the team at Spear Hill who have done an amazing job with my boy over the last three weeks. Oscar has been there on rehab livery after an injury involving soft tissue and suspensory damage in his front leg. I simply could not have asked for a better place for him to be, I received regular updates and pictures and the team went above and beyond, even putting an ice boot on when they felt his leg was warmer than usual. He was looked after so well, beautiful big stables kept immaculately and a very quiet calm yard!
Already he feels so much stronger after having 12 hydrotherapy sessions which were monitored and slowly introduced to him.
Could not be more grateful to Laura, Carrie and Henrik and the rest of the team involved for looking after my precious boy as if he was one of their own!“
