Boyd Martins Conditioning Pond -

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

Boyd Martin posted the following video on Facebook today of his horses going on a 25 minute ride through his 'conditioning pond' - I have never seen anything quite like it. I love the idea as an alternative to a water treadmill though!

Looks like a brilliant idea to me. I could do with one for my lazy cob! I bet they'll sleep well after that, it looks exhausting.

I have a similar one of these that I use for my rehab horses. Physio’s all recommend it over the water treadmill

I saw this today, the horses looked very happy and relaxed in it too?

I don't like the treadmill part of water treadmills. This looks much better.

Love this. Not a fan of treadmills/walkers etc. I use local XC courses to walk round the water - some have huge water 'ponds'.
