Equine Aquatic Treadmill
Description
Low-impact conditioning & rehabilitation for horses
Designed and manufactured locally in Australia, the ThoroughTread aqua treadmill is an above-ground, compact unit built for long-term, reliable operation. By working your horse in water, it uses buoyancy to reduce the load on joints, tendons and ligaments — so you can build and maintain fitness, support recovery, and condition with far less impact than on hard ground. Smooth surfaces and a tough build make it ideal for daily commercial use.
What it’s used for
- Rehabilitation — controlled, low-impact work after injury or surgery.
- Low-impact fitness & conditioning — build fitness while sparing the legs.
- Strength & topline — water resistance means more work per stride.
- Weight management — effective exercise with reduced concussion.
- Gait re-education & performance maintenance.
How an aqua treadmill helps
Water provides buoyancy (less concussion on the limbs), resistance (more effort and muscle engagement per stride), and a controlled, measurable way to exercise — making it a versatile tool for both rehabilitation and conditioning.
