Aqua Trainer

The aqua trainer housing is built from stainless steel and accommodates the belt with its driving technology. As part of the basic system, we deliver the user- friendly control unit with separate electric box and an externally mounted engine.

The robust stainless-steel construction in V2A quality, optionally configurable with salt water resistant V4A if required, is manufactured in full compliance with ISO 9001 regulations. We utilize stainless steel only – even for the fittings. The highest safety standards guarantee trouble-free operation as well as minimum risk of injury for horses and handlers. The simple control system, equipped with clear operating elements, permits optimal and efficient training of the horse.

Relaxed but concentrated work is crucial for successful training. The infinitely variable speed control up to 10 km/h (6.2 mph) leaves nothing to be desired for when training your horses. For more intensive training, we also offer the optional of a trotting version with up to 15 km/h (9.3 mph) as well as a hydraulic incline of up to 6°. 

Additionally, a chiller unit and/or as UV sterilization can be added as well, for cold and clean water at all times. Furthermore, Macrolon safety glass can be used on both sides to ensure side visibility of the horses’ legs. As well as the option to add safety ramps in the front and end of the aqua trainer for if one would not have a pit in the ground to place the aqua trainer in.

For a stress-free work out, the horses need to feel at ease, which is only possible when they are kept on the lead rope rather than being tied up. This also ensures free movement. Further, the horse should be able to see their surroundings, which is why we purposely kept the front end lower than the back.

Special features of the water treadmill are, amongst others, the internal length giving the horse plenty of space to move freely with long strides. Further, standing on the operator’s platform allows for direct observation of the horse’s movements of the back. There we can see if the horse is moving straight and evenly. This is particularly important in terms of building muscles effectively, as well as ensuring the horse’s progress is moving in the desired direction. Walking freely without restricting poles at front and rear promotes coordination and gentle build-up of muscles, whilst the generously padded doors ensure safe keeping of your horse.

Low maintenance requirements and inexpensive running costs of the machine guarantee a return on investment after a short period of time. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the system is straightforward and effortless. The easily accessible maintenance openings on either side of the machine allow cleaning underneath the treadmill, ensuring the longevity of the system.
