Patent number 2005100128. The Equine Aqua-Ciser® was designed to help horses gain better results in fitness, conditioning and in rehabilitation. This machine is an original design which carries a world wide patent and has been professionally built with safety in mind. Every detail has been uniquely detailed to allow horses to allow horses to work in a relaxed and comfortable environment. The entire internal machine is made of stainless steel with free hanging mesh dividers above water level. Rubber flooring gives horses a 'sure-footed' and 'non-slip' walking surface. The access gate to the pool has been designed with a large 'non-slip* handle allowing the operator to open the gate easily and guide the horse into the 'catch bay' where the horse is caught and lead from the pool. broad open pool is specifically designed to eliminate the 'whirlpool' effect. Horses working in a 'whirlpool' do not gain any benefit by being exercised in water, a problem seen with similar types of water walkers. Pressure walking in water is an accepted fitness programme adopted by various human training establishments. To adopt this method for horses, trainers for many years, have been exercising their horses on beaches and waterways with great success. But such facilities are fast disappearing and with environmental laws today, many are no longer accessible. |
