At G Spur Equine Hydrotherapy Center in Riverside, swimming is the ultimate in training and equine therapy. Because swimming is a non-impact activity, horses use all the muscles they normally would, but without the pounding and stress on bones, joints, tendons and ligaments. It provides the ideal medium to achieve, or maintain, a high level of fitness and conditioning without the dangers and potential injury that are inherent in track and ground workouts. The optimum conditioning provided by swimming, coupled with the increased extension, flexibility and muscle mass may be just what you need to gain that competitive edge! Programs are structured for each horse, based on breed, initial fitness level, the speed at which the horse swims, the discipline being trained for and if being conditioned for fitness or recovering from injury.
