Sometimes you know exactly what your horse needs, but fitting it around work, travelling and yard jobs is the impossible bit.

Our rehab or performance livery means we can take care of your horse, complete their treadmill or arena sessions and keep the programme consistent while they are here.

With over 20 years experience coaching and performance horses, Gemma can also plan their arena work around the same goals, so everything joins up rather than the treadmill sitting separately from the rest of their programme.

Tailored livery stays at The Hydro & Therapy Centre can suit rehabilitation, return to work, fitness building, weight management or a short focused training spell before a competition when life is simply too busy.

You still stay involved in the plan, but you do not have to make every journey and squeeze in every job yourself.

Why can deeper water be so useful?

This view gives us a brilliant look at what is happening through the front of the horse, including shoulder movement, how the forelimbs lift and reach forward and how the water influences the whole stride.

Deeper water works far more than just the hocks and stifles. The buoyancy supports the horse while the resistance asks for more effort through the whole body. It can encourage greater joint movement, help recruit the core and postural muscles, work the thoracic sling and add useful strength through the back and hindquarters.

That combination of support and resistance is what makes water height such a useful part of rehabilitation, conditioning and performance work.

One session can certainly be useful, but strength and fitness aren’t built in one visit.

Like ridden training, the water treadmill works best when it is used in a consistent plan and progressed as the horse gets stronger.
That doesn’t mean making every session longer, faster or deeper either.

Sometimes progress is seeing the horse maintain a better rhythm, stay straighter or cope with the same work more easily.
Small improvements add up, but it never fails to amaze us and owners how quickly the results usually show compared to the ridden time.

Sometimes life gets in the way. Work, family, competitions... and before you know it your horse has missed a few days' exercise.

That's exactly where the Water Treadmill can help.

✔️ Maintain fitness with low impact exercise.
✔️ Build strength through natural water resistance.
✔️ Keep horses moving when riding isn't always the best option.

We've had a rare Saturday block availability become free between 11am and 1pm

🐴 Stifle Strength: Do you need to unlock your horse’s potential?

Stifle injuries or weaknesses can be tricky to manage, but building strength and stability in this key joint is crucial for performance and longevity.

💧 How Water Treadmill Hydrotherapy Helps:
Encourages correct muscle activation without rider interference.
Promotes symmetry and improved range of motion.

Targets hindquarter strength - essential for collection, jumping, and forward impulsion.
Stifle issues don’t have to limit your horse. Book a session to see how we can help!

💦 Not Sure If Your Horse Would Like the Water Treadmill?

You’re definitely not the first person to wonder that.
Over the years we’ve introduced hundreds of horses to the treadmill. Some walk straight on without a second thought, while others need a little more time and reassurance. Both are completely normal.

The first session is all about creating a positive experience. We use plenty of praise, patience and fibre nuggets to help horses feel relaxed and confident. In our experience, the vast majority settle very quickly.

For many horses, walking onto the treadmill is actually the biggest hurdle. Once they’ve been through a few times and understand what’s being asked, most become much more relaxed. We start with a dry walk so they can find their balance and rhythm before introducing any water.
The water itself is often less of a concern than owners expect. Because the horse is already walking on a solid surface, many accept it surprisingly well and simply continue focusing on the job in front of them.

If you’ve been curious about whether your horse would cope, why not come and see for yourself?

💦 Taster Session just £20
Perfect for horses needing rehabilitation, fitness work, weight management, or simply an introduction to the water treadmill.
