Oakmont Rehabilitation and Wellness in Ocala offers water treadmill sessions for a horse’s therapy and rehab needs. Walking in a Water treadmill provides resistance, making a horse’s workout more intense and a better substitute for ridden exercise. In addition, walking on a Water treadmill can be used as part of a rehabilitation program, without increasing the workload of the horse or adding undue strain. Water allows horses to be exercised at a walk in water up to shoulder height. The Water allows you to easily manage a horse’s buoyancy and resistance on limbs.
