Southside Racing

Six (6) consecutive treadmill sessions
WITHOUT THE OPERATOR
NOTE: you must have 3 sessions with an operator before you can book this treadmill session operated by yourself.

Great alternative to ridden work or rehab without the weight on horse’s back.
- 15 min workout session
- walk, trot and canter
- incline up to 6 degrees
- safe non-slip rubber mat
- emergency stop

15 minute Treadmill Session including Operator.

Great alternative to ridden work or rehab without the weight on horse’s back.
- walk, trot and canter

- trained operator to operate the treadmill and help with workout program

SEDATION REQUIRED. To provide and administrate by the handler of the horse.
Cold Spa for horses legs for the treatment of
- Laminitis
-Tendonitis
-Desmitis
-Hoof injuries
-Shin Splints
-Jar up (Knocks and Bruising)
-Bursitis/Synovitis
-Open wounds and skin infections
Soaks the horses legs in a chilled mixture of sea and mineral salts at twice the density of seawater (60,000 ppm)
The Spa solution is chilled between 2 °C and 4 °C to take out heat and inflammation. The solution, at this temperature, provides analgesic pain management and inhibits enzyme degeneration of tendons post injury.
The ECB salt solution acts as a hypertonic poultice, reducing heat while having a natural healing effect on wounds. Water density increases with salt concentration, which in turn increases pressure to aid fluid and waste dispersal.
Water aeration has a massaging effect on the leg and increases the dissolved oxygen content of the spa solution.
The depth of the water is proportionate to the pressure exerted on the leg which aids fluid and waste dispersal. Water depth is adjustable dependent upon the position and severity of injury.
Temperature and chemical levels combine to eliminate the transfer of microbiological infection. As water temperature decreases, its ability to carry oxygen increases. Increased oxygenation through the introduction of aeration is believed to enhance natural defence systems, much like the use of a hyperbaric chamber for humans.
Cold salt hydrotherapy can be used to treat all forms of lower leg inflammation… removing the painful fluid and swelling associated with injury.
