Does anyone know of any water treadmills near the Hurstpierpoint area? The only place I can think of off the top of my head is Tweseldown, but that's a good 2hr drive in the lorry.
I've been to one owned by a lovely lady called Pip before, but can't for the life of me remember what it was called. I think that might be a little far out too though. I'd ideally like something within a 40 minute radius as I think we'll be going at least once a week.

TIA

There's rumblings that the Royal Leisure in Henfield may be opening again having just changed hands - may be worth keeping an ear out for that as they have one.

Slightly over 40 mins, but High Weald hydro near Mayfield ,East Sussex.

That's great, thank you. I'll have a look.

Oooh, that would be amazing! My first thought was to look there but couldn't find any recent info. Thank you

Does your vet recommend that a treadmill is suitable for your horse?

There was a recent thread in which a horse was worked incorrectly on a water treadmill and was very sore afterwards.

It's been recommended by the vet for him. He's had a host of back problems lately and is now building the work back up without a rider. So lots of lunging, long reining, ride & lead, and tonight she's recommended adding a weekly water treadmill visit.

I saw that thread, scary stuff.

you could try Lomond riding centre in Horley Surrey? Not that far, straight up the M23. Tom Beech does his clinics there so I think they are pretty good for stuff like that (no personal experience myself but thats where I would head as its closest to me)

I’d recommend Lomond. Local to me.
