Setting the Gold Standard

GoldMark Farm unveiled a new equine pool.  

Benefits of a TherapyPool for Horses: 

• Low-Impact Exercise: Swimming provides a low-impact exercise, reducing stress on a horse’s joints and muscles. This is particularly important for racehorses that undergo rigorous training and may be prone to injuries. 

• Muscle Strengthening and Conditioning: Swimming engages a horse’s muscles differently than traditional land-based exercise. Water resistance helps build muscle strength and endurance without the impact associated with activities like galloping on a track. 

• Cardiovascular Fitness: Swimming is an excellent cardiovascular exercise. It helps improve a horse’s stamina and cardiovascular fitness without putting excessive strain on the joints. 

• Rehabilitation: Horses recovering from injuries, surgeries, or other physical conditions can benefit from aquatic therapy. The buoyancy of water reduces weight-bearing, allowing the horse to move more freely and aiding in the rehabilitation process. 

• Variety in Training: Introducing variety in a horse’s training routine is essential to prevent boredom and maintain enthusiasm. Swimming offers a different type of exercise that can complement traditional training methods. 

• Mental Well-Being: Besides the physical benefits, swimming can positively affect a horse’s mental well-being. It provides a change of scenery and a break from the routine, contributing to the overall mental health of the horse. 

  Our pool provides added value for the thoroughbred trainers and owners at GoldMark Farm.
