Seyers Racing recently purchased a Classic Equine treadmill to allow variance in their horses work.

With a large running surface this high speed treadmill allows the horse to be exercised at all paces at speed up to 60km/hr. The versatility of the treadmill makes it ideal for improving horse fitness to a high level. The speed and incline of the belt is varied with separate programs for walking, trotting and galloping.

The goal of any conditioning program is to give your horse exactly what it needs to get better, without increasing the risk of injury.

Horses on treadmills:

• are not subject to rider error and love to run with no one on their backs
• can exercise precisely at the intensity needed for improvement
and not one step too fast
• do not take a bad step due to surface failures
• can be observed by vets and farriers, who can intervene with suggestions
• never miss a training day due to bad weather.
