Erin Duffy Show Stables is proud to announce the purchase of a Horse Gym 2000 Treadmill. For those wondering about the use and purpose of this wonderful machine, here is a short description from their website of what you can expect from the use of it (Lexus here demonstrating).
"The variable speed and incline of the treadmill allows the workout to mimic over-ground conditioning. Walking the horse on an incline is a great way of improving stamina and building muscle strength, particularly in the back and hind quarters.The combination of adjustable speed and incline, as well as the ability to control the intensity and duration of a session, provides ample variety in a horse’s conditioning program allowing it to be tailored to the horse’s specific needs.The treadmill belt provides a smooth, consistent surface, eliminating injuries from uneven footing. Equine treadmills have proven to be particularly useful for rehabilitation work. "
