Horse Treadmills

Horse Treadmills / Equine treadmill

The Horse Treadmill / Equine treadmill comes fitted with a fully functional touch screen computer which helps you track your horses exercise routine, speed, heart rate, elevation/incline, timer, distance and total running time. The main advantage of our Horse Treadmill is that the horses are running on eight airbags, which are mounted underneath the floor of the Horse treadmill. These airbags absorb and disburse the impact from the horse’s legs and hooves. This is exactly the same way as top running shoes. Thus the saying, “Running on Air”.

This method also gives the belt on the Horse Treadmill longer life than any other Treadmill.

Usages:

  • Being able to exercise horses in all weather conditions.
  • To Rehabilitate injured horses.
  • It will assist horses who are difficult to load into pens.
  • Intermittent training.
  • Prepping Yearlings for sales.
  • Our Horse Treadmill comes fitted with a fully functional touch screen computer, with various safety mechanisms.

 

Safety Mechanisms:

  • Low level switch for oil in hydraulic tank. (If the oil gets too low it will switch off, thus protecting the pump from any damage.)
  • Low level switch for silicone oil.
  • Silicone oil is sprayed onto the belt through an electric pump operated via the computer.
  • Clogging indicator for filter on hydraulic pump. (This will warn you on the screen when to change your pump oil filter).
  • Clogging indicator on return line filter.
  • Air pressure switch. (you will not be able to start the treadmill if the air pressure in the airbags is too low).
  • We have also featured a safety device, that if there is a power failure, the treadmill would go into freewheel mode and not stop dead.

  • Speed and degrees.

The main advantage of our Treadmill is that the horse is running on eight airbags, which are mounted underneath the floor of the Treadmill. We designed this system on the same theory as running shoes. This disburses the impact from the horse’s legs through the airbags. This is kinder on the horse’s joints and extends the belt life.
