HORSES + WATER
Another important feature of an equine pool is the cleaning system designed to remove waste from a horse where it enters the water. Filtration is designed to match the volume of horses that use the facility per day. For a healthy horse, a well-balanced and diverse exercise regime that includes swimming is a great way to condition and build muscle as well as develop the heart and lungs. If they are recovering from injury, it is a beneficial rehabilitation tool. And another added bonus is the psychological effects, for, just like humans, who doesn’t enjoy the freedom and buoyancy of water at times? On a warm spring or summer’s day, a light swim is a refreshing way to break up the routine and diminish mental fatigue.
