How Seawalker® is used for different yard needs
Proven performance across disciplines, climates and equine training objectives.
Versatile, Targeted, Trusted
Seawalker® is used daily by some of the world’s most respected equestrian facilities – from high-performance racing establishments and endurance yards, to elite stud farms and rehab centres. With chilled salt water, adjustable water depth and multi-horse capacity, Seawalker® adapts effortlessly to a wide range of equestrian uses.
Performance Horses in Training
Training yards use Seawalker® to complement gallop work and reduce the strain of traditional fitness routines. It is widely used for:
- Daily warm-up and cool-down
- Active recovery between training sessions
- Cross-training to build topline, stride length and core engagement
- Reducing the need for lunging or additional work with tack or rider
- Workload variation and the marginal gains variety in exercise patterns can bring
Horses remain in contact with the ground, breathing naturally and working in a relaxed frame, helping maintain condition and focus.
Breeding Stock and Broodmares
Seawalker® offers an effective, low-impact way to maintain condition in stallions and to support broodmares through pregnancy. It provides:
- Abdominal and core strengthening without rider load
- Post-foaling fitness rebuilding
- Movement in a controlled, calming environment
For working stallions, it helps maintain muscle tone, weight, mental relaxation and concentration with minimal risk of injury.
Rehabilitation and Recovery
Seawalker® is an ideal platform for structured rehab programmes under veterinary or physiotherapy guidance. Its features allow for:
- Different depths essential at differing stages of rehab or to target specific muscle groups
- Early-stage post-injury loading with adjustable water depth
- Controlled movement aiding circulation and soft tissue recovery
- Comfort for horses with sore backs, shins or sacroiliac challenges
Its gentle but effective action enables a smoother, stronger, fitter return to work.
Sales Preparation
Presenting horses at peak condition is essential for maximising sales outcomes. Seawalker® contributes by:
- Providing gentle, non-concussive, structured exercise
- Promoting topline and full-body muscle development
- Helping maintain soundness and coat condition
- Supporting appetite and relaxed behaviour
Used as part of a balanced pre-sale programme, it helps horses look and feel their best.
Yard Efficiency
As a multi-horse system with low labour requirements, Seawalker® enhances day-to-day yard operations:
- Exercises 4–8 horses with one operator

The exercise regime slots seamlessly into daily routines, freeing up time and staff resource.
