⚠️ LAMINITIS WARNING – DON’T LET THE RAIN CATCH YOU OUT! 🌱

After weeks of dry, hard ground, the recent rain is bringing through fresh new shoots of grass – and they can be packed with sugar.

For horses and ponies prone to laminitis or weight gain, now is a really important time to keep an eye on:

🌱 Grass intake
⚖️ Weight and condition
🐴 Appropriate, regular exercise
👀 Any early signs of foot soreness or discomfort

Keeping horses moving and maintaining an appropriate fitness level can be an important part of weight management and supporting metabolic health.

💦 This is where the water treadmill can help.

It provides controlled, consistent exercise without relying on hard ground or suddenly increasing ridden work. The water adds resistance, helping your horse work effectively while keeping sessions structured and low impact.

Ideal for horses and ponies that need a little extra help keeping their workload consistent as the grass starts growing again.

Introductory treadmill session £35
Then £55 pay as you go
5 sessions £265 | 10 sessions £500

📩 Message us to book or discuss the most suitable programme for your horse or pony.

🐴 LIVERY AVAILABILITY🐴

We have 2 livery stables becoming available from the end of next week, be quick- livery spaces fill fast!

If you’re not quite local enough to bring your horse to us for regular weekly sessions, a short livery stay can be a really effective alternative.

During their stay, horses can benefit from daily water treadmill sessions, allowing us to work with them consistently and progressively. Regular sessions over a shorter period can be a fantastic way to build strength, fitness, core stability, topline and overall condition and achieve really noticeable results.

We can tailor stays for:

✨ Fitness Livery – ideal for getting horses fitter and stronger, whether preparing for competition or bringing them back into work.

💧 Rehab Livery – a structured programme using the water treadmill to support rehabilitation, strengthening and return to work.

🛏️ Box Rest Livery – for horses requiring restricted exercise or a carefully managed programme during recovery.

🌿 Holiday Livery – enjoy your holiday knowing your horse is being looked after while also keeping up their fitness and conditioning.

Horses stay in our American-style barn, providing a sociable environment where they can see and interact with other horses. Depending on their individual programme, we can also incorporate the horse walker alongside daily treadmill work to further develop fitness.

💦 Why a livery stay?

Rather than trying to fit occasional sessions around travel, a stay allows us to work with your horse consistently every day, adjusting their programme as they progress. That consistency is where we can often see some of the best results.

Stays can be tailored from a short intensive stay through to longer fitness or rehabilitation programmes.

🐴 Does your horse or pony favour one rein?
🐴Do they feel noticeably weaker, stiffer or less balanced on one side?

The water treadmill can be a fantastic tool for improving symmetry and building more even strength.

Unlike ridden work, the treadmill encourages the horse to move straight and rhythmically, helping them use all four limbs consistently. With the right water height and programme, we can work on:

✨ More even muscle development
✨ Improving straightness & symmetry
✨ Strengthening weaker areas
✨ Core & topline strength
✨ Better balance and stability
✨ Improving overall movement quality

☀️ And right now there’s another big advantage…

With the ground absolutely rock hard, the treadmill gives you a controlled, low-impact way to keep your horse working without adding more concussion on hard ground.

💦 INTRODUCTORY SESSION – £35
Includes assessment and an individual treadmill programme.

Then choose what suits you:

Pay as you go – £55
Block of 5 – £265
Block of 10 – £500

The rain is still evading us… fields are rock hard and sand schools desperate for water! 😩

With the ground becoming increasingly hard and unforgiving, now is the perfect time to think about reducing concussion and supporting your horse’s body, to help reduce the risk of injury.

Pairing a Combi Floor session with your water treadmill workout provides the ideal combination for maintaining fitness while helping to reduce the stresses associated with training on hard ground.

✅ Low-impact conditioning on the water treadmill
✅ PEMF & Whole Body Vibration to support muscles, joints and soft tissues
✅ Encourages circulation and recovery
✅ Helps keep your horse comfortable, moving freely and ready to perform
✅ A great way to maintain training while reducing the risk of injury during prolonged dry conditions

Our water treadmill and Combi Floor combination offers really effective support throughout these very dry conditions.
