Whether you have a small farm, a yard with a few horses or a large training facility or racetrack with hundreds, there is a Seawalker option to fit your needs. Number of horses, desired effects, space, power and water supply are all factors to consider.

If you have a small facility, you may plan to use your Seawalker primarily before and after training sessions or on days when horses will not be ridden. This will give a wonderful cooling and anti-inflammatory effect, provide exercise targeting the core muscles and strengthen the hind end and top line. For this, a 15 metre, 6 horse walker with a maximum water depth of 60cm would suffice.

The project cost would be significantly more for an 8 horse, 18 metre diameter Seawalker with a depth of 1.2m. The larger, deeper facility would allow you to replace a high proportion of ridden work, handle 90+ horses a day and tailor water depth programmes for individual horses or groups.

Other options to consider are whether you would prefer an in-ground or above ground Seawalker. Finance opportunities may be available for above ground installations in the UK – see Services.

  • We have already experienced many individual cases in the short time of having the Seawalker but of particular note was that leg joints and fetlocks tightened up in all horses, the effect was noticeable within days…

  • A common problem with racehorses is that post-training the muscles can ‘tie up’ or seize. This is very painful for a horse and we found once again that a 20 minute session in the Seawalker before and after riding controlled this problem better than any medication…
