Rehabilitation at Still Creek Farm
AquaTred Therapy
The HydroHorse AquaTred at Still Creek Farm is a submerged hydraulic powered treadmill that promotes therapeutic healing, strengthening and conditioning. The 12 foot belt accommodates both walking, as well as trotting, and allows exercise in a controlled, low impact environment, which helps to increase the strength of tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules. Additionally, the AquaTred is ideal for conditioning sport horses, as it builds toplines, strengthens and develops abdominal muscles, as well as the hind quarters.
Our Services
Each rehab horse gets 5 sessions per week in the AquaTred, along with quality hand-grazing time every day to facilitate movement and cognitive health. We pride ourselves on our high standard of care, and take into consideration each horse's distinctive personality, which determines their stabling assignment and the groups that they hand-graze in. Every rehab horse gets groomed once a day, and bathed after every session in the AquaTred.
Expert Care
Still Creek Farm works in partnership with Tryon Equine Hospital, who prepare rehab programs tailored to each individual horse. We follow their given programs diligently, which can include the use of additional therapies such as shockwave, laser therapy, chiropractic care, and more in collaboration with the presiding vet.
