Welcome to the Exercise/Recovery Pool at SNF. This is called 'Hydrotherapy' . Hydrotherapy, literally, means the use of water to treat ailments. The benefits swimming can give a horse are widely recognised - swimming builds a horse's stamina and increases muscle tone because the horse will use its major muscle groups but won't suffer the stresses placed on the limbs and body when galloping. Swimming can help maximise a horse's physical fitness when used as an additional and complimentary supplement to their normal work routine.

For horses recovering from injury, swimming can aid and speed their recovery by allowing them to exercise without weight on their backs, thereby reducing stress on knees, joints and tendons. Muscle wastage can begin within days of immobility brought on by injury, it is vital, therefore, to continue to exercise without placing stress on the injury. In such circumstances, swimming is the ideal solution!
