Swimming is an activity that greatly affects muscle strengthening and respiratory capacity without overloading the skeletal and tendon-ligament structure.
Training in the pool is performed, as needed, to improve muscle tone with workloads adapted to the individual subject and to improve aerobic and lung capacity for those horses that need to maintain and / or acquire specific athletic training.
The carousel in the water (or water walker) forces the horse to overcome the resistance of the water and to broaden the stride. In the carousel in the water, the horse flexes its joints more and prefers the use of certain muscles, favoring their development.
