Connemara Walkers
Why use a Connemara Walker
In the wild, horses would daily roam over vast distances in the search for grazing and water. This constant movement caused the gut to develop in such a way that movement is vital to improve the overall health of horses. Unfortunately, many domesticated horses do not have access to large paddocks, and with modern lifestyles it can often be problematic to ensure your horse gets enough exercise every day. This can lead to built up energy and anxiety, loss of muscle tone and fitness, as well as an increase in the risk of injury and colic. Fortunately our Connemara Walkers are ideal to supplement your horse's daily routine with regular, safe and low impact exercise in either walk or trot.
Cooling down after exercise is vitally important to any equine athlete, no matter their level of training. Slow, steady walking after training allows the body to gradually recover from exertion by releasing any built-up heat and lactic acid. It also allows sweat to dry and lets the heart rate and respiratory rates gradually return to normal. Cooling down also allows blood to flow back from the skin and muscles to vital organs. This helps to prevent sore and stiff muscles, injury and colic. Walking after training has also been known to help horses to mentally process what they have learnt.
Regular use of an Equine Walker helps to increase blood circulation, therefore avoiding swelling in legs and stimulates the circulation and drainage of lymph vessels. This makes it beneficial to both keeping your horse fit and strong, as well in the treatment of swelling and joint conditions.
A Connemara Walker is the ideal choice for improving muscle strength and fitness as it allows you to condition your horse freely and safely through the fully automated system, allowing you to control the speed, duration and direction of exercise.
