Equine Treadmill

The UC Davis Veterinary Teaching Hospital has two equine treadmills.

You can actually see the mare (Thoroughbred, name Jane) changing paces through three speeds in this clip. I didn't catch her at the fastest they ran her, so you only see her in that pace for a moment.

the harness around her back iss attached to the treadmills, if she was to get left behing, stumble or slow down before the machine, it wouold shut down so she wouldn't get her hind legs caught or fall.

The most obvious question here is, why would it need a suspension?

The most obvious question here is, How effective is the machines suspension. It sounds rather harsh to me

i think treadmills and water therapy are prob the best excercise eqiupment made for horses, their safe (when properly made and put together) but thier also great for wen u cant ride one day or getting a horse back into shape after rehab or sumthin, its a shame tho that their not affordable for most ppl except racehorse trainers...

that is so cool!the horse is galloping and you can just reach over and pet them while thyre gallo[ping

[kaymm93]

thats a really good idea - do they do this for any horse, or is it just the vets that do this?

beautiful horse, by the way. I love the way s/he moves.
