Does anyone have any input on water therapy - horses using excercise pools?
or can you point me to any reading on them?
or do you know of an area using them? are they effective? any
contraindications to use for the horse? I have heard good things - re:
aerobic, no concussion -- but not so good on lungs because of the water,
inhale? or colds? I don't have any specifics....
