AquaPacer Plus
Equine Underwater Treadmill System
Low-Impact, High-Resistance Workout
Accelerating Equine Recovery, Conditioning, and Wellness
The AquaPacer Plus differs from the AquaPacer Pro in that it has the option to use saltwater as well as the ability to see and access the horse from both sides of the therapy unit. It is crafted to provide low-impact yet high-resistance aquatic therapy. It also facilitates swift recovery, optimal training, and peak fitness, catering to every activity level.
For a smaller footprint solution that only offers fresh water, see the features of the AquaPacer Pro.
Designed for Comfort and Observation
Equipped with large windows on both sides and flanked by full-length platforms, the AquaPacer Plus facilitates easy gait monitoring without making horses feel enclosed. This thoughtful design benefits trainers, veterinarians, and horse owners with easy access and visibility to the animal.
