PER Equi-Tred Treadmill

For most of our rehabilitation cases the inclusion of the Equi-Tred Treadmill in exercise programmes, is the best way to provide a safe & controlled exercise program.

Walking & Trotting exercise can be provided on the flat or on an incline with the horse being totally under control at all times.

The PER Equi-Tred Treadmill has profound advantages compared to a horse walker, the most obvious being that the horse is working in a straight line & is not free to “Explode” as they so often do on a walker.

The ability to work the horse on an incline, has huge benefits both from the work rate & strengthening potential.

PER EQUI-TRED TREADMILL

Uses & Advantages Of The PER Equi-Tred Treadmill

→ Retraining of injured horses→ Muscle tone improvement & conditioning→ Reduce stress- related injuries→ Safely strengthen tendons & ligaments→ Provide the perfect rehabilitation environment in the initial stages of a rehabilitation retraining

program→ Reduce stress & increase rideability→ Rehabilitation controlling speed & incline on the PER Equi-Tred Treadmill, allows for safe &

effective rehabilitation→ Muscular development, particularly of the muscles of the neck, back & hindquarters→ Tendon & ligament injuries → Rehabilitation from Sacro-iliac trauma→ Controlled speed & incline allows for thorough gait analysis→ Weight management & control→ Allows the horse to work on a straight line without the weight of the rider & influences of tack.

Thus allowing continued maintenance & progression of training, with the removal of any rider influencing factors to the thorocolumbar spine. This is an invaluable tool combined with other therapeutic methods, when treating matters of soft tissue concern where maintenance of fitness is imperative.

→ Improve flexibility, strength & balance of the musculoskeletal system.

The variable speed & incline of the treadmill allows the workout to mimic over-ground

conditioning. Walking the horse on an incline is a great way of improving stamina & building

muscle strength, particularly over the Horses Top-Line, Back & Hind Quarters.

The combination of adjustable speed & incline, as well as the ability to control the intensity &

duration of a session, provides ample variety in a horse’s conditioning program,

allowing it to be tailored to the horse’s specific needs.

PER EQUI – TRED TREADMILL

PER EQUI-TRED TREADMILL Whether your equine interest is; Eventing, Dressage, Racing, Show

Jumping, Hunting, Polo or you ride for pleasure. The PER Equi-Tred Treadmill provides our clients with expansive opportunities for training & rehabilitation.

The treadmill belt provides a smooth, consistent surface,eliminating injuries from uneven footing.

Not only is the PER Equi-Tred Treadmill an effective method of exercise, but also a great means at monitoring a horse during training.

With the horse being relatively stationary to the handler, it is possible for the PER Team to quickly observe irregularities in gait, for lameness problems to be detected or to evaluate improvements in horses recovering from injuries.

PER EQUI-TRED TREADMILL The PER Equi-Tred Treadmill focuses on maximising

balance & coordination,to ensure the horse’s peak performance.

Exercise is beneficial for all systems in the body; circulatory, muscular, skeletal, immune, metabolism & digestive.

Controlled movement has proved imperative for rehabilitation & training, allowing the horse to work on a straight line without the weight & influences of the rider & tack.

The PER Equi-Tred Treadmill has become a vital part of our rehabilitation program.

It allows us to recondition & strengthen horses that have gone through surgery, combining controlled exercise with consistent speed & surface.

The PER Equi-Tred Treadmill allows us to maximize the horses aerobic capacity together with reconditioning & retraining of natural anatomical movement patterns.

The horses brain works on movement patterns, an essential component of rehabilitation is the ability to retrain the hoses anatomical movement patterns post injury & restore to their most optimal pre-injury natural gait pattern.

The horses using the PER Equi-Tred Treadmill have an increased perormance capacity & are less prone to stress, injury or re-injury.
