RE: [RC] Treadmills - Snodgrass, BonnieLibby, I used to work at a breeders farm (Arabs and QTR's). They did not do endurance but they did use a treadmill to muscle up the young horses and to exercise everyone during the winter snows (Aspen, CO). They only used the treadmill at a walk but would elevate it to a steep incline and set the speed for a fast walk. This seemed to work really well without causing trauma to the joints. Built up the stifles nicely I'm sure. The only injury we had related to the treadmill was when a yearling anglo-arab decided to climb over the side and walked down my face, chest and thighs as I was up on the catwalk and had a wall behind me. The horse was fine. I wasn't.
