Equine Hydrotherapy
An introduction to equine hydrotherapy and physiotherapy
What are the benefits of equine hydrotherapy?
Equine hydrotherapy improves Strength & Performance. It helps strengthens muscles, joints, and tendons without putting excess strain on them. Furthermore, it builds core strength, flexibility and balance for improved performance.
How will my horse benefit from hydrotherapy?
There are many ways in which the horse will benefit. One of those is prevention of further injuries. Regular therapy can improve posture, symmetry and muscle tone, which all help to reduce the risk of strain or injury.
Therapy also enhances the mental well-being of horses. It keeps them mentally stimulated and reduces boredom, especially during box rest or limited turnout.
At the centre, we provide a calming environment which helps reduce anxiety or stress. Some of the horses we see here have had recent surgery and everything we do with them here aids their rehabilitation.
The therapy we carry out with your horse increases circulation, reduces scar tissue, and promotes strength and flexibility in recovering horses.
We treat every horse as an individual and each therapy is tailored to the horse. Every horse can benefit - from performance athletes to retirees, ensuring they stay fit, happy, and healthy at every stage of life.

Therapy is not just about recovery, it’s about unlocking a horse’s full potential while keeping them sound, comfortable, and content.
