The Aqua-Tred Submerged Treadmill System is a powerful therapeutic and conditioning tool. It combines a treadmill, whirlpool and swimming pool into one system. Unlike traditional water therapy methods, the Aqua-Tred system allows the horse to exercise in a controlled environment. Horses are able to use their normal gait and the same muscles as they use while exercising without stress or trauma.
