The ECB Aqua treadmill is the first of its type in Ireland.
-
Aqua training is a power and endurance training, without the weight of the rider.
-
The ECB trains specific muscle groups.
-
By moving in the water, horses are getting power training without the high pressure on their tendons and skeleton.
-
By moving against the pressure of the water, horses start automatically using more of their back muscles and rear part muscles which gives them a stronger top line, more balance and coordination in all movements.
-
Muscle groups will be evenly trained and balanced.
-
Their mind is fresh, the body is loose and their walking position is straight.
-
ECB water trainer is a unique supplement to the daily training and rehabilitation for sport horses of all kinds
