Keeps Your Horses Fit! - Kraft Horse Walker

® Kraft ...keeps your horses fit!
. . . and now also in water
Hydro or water therapy has successfully been used in
equine medicine since the 90’s. It has been used for
healing sicknesses as well as for preventing injuries.
The Kraft Water Walker is not a swimming pool, but a
tread pool; that is, the horses don’t swim. They tread
in water and have permanent contact with the
ground. This provides balanced stress relief to the
supporting skeletal structure. When horses swim,
they raise their heads, cause pressure to their backs
and hinder improved muscle toning (loosening).
Water is the optimum medium for healing various
illnesses as well as regaining strength.
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is the methodological use of water to
treat acute and chronic symptoms, to stabilize bodily
functions, to be a preventative measure and for rehabilitation
and regeneration. The buoyancy of the
water also lessens the weight-bearing load on the
limbs.
Treading water (known as Kneipp in human medicine)
has also been an effective method for treating
illnesses and injuries. It also increases the healing
process.
The knowledge of the healing properties of water has
been applied for hundreds of years in veterinary
medicine.
The Kraft Water Walker unites Therapy,
Training and Wellness.
