“We use the aqua tread for all types of horses at any level, from 4* horses, to old schoolmasters getting fit for 2*, to training level horses who need extra strength. Treading makes it so that we can get them as fit as can be with the lowest impact. Fleet Crest Farm does an incredible job making each horse feel extremely confident while treading, and they are so passionate about every single horse that comes through. Without the aqua tread at Fleet Crest, our season would look much different. The benefit of the aqua tread gives us and our horses the fitness edge we need to be competitive.”
Zach Brant, Zach Brandt Eventing
"I have been sending my horses to Lance at Fleet Crest Farm's aqua tread to help with fitness and rehab over the past year. I have been impressed with the friendly professionalism that seems to come easily with all endeavors that Lance is associated with. I will continue to utilize the aqua tread in our horses' routines, as I have seen its importance as part of a well-rounded program."
Sinead Halpin, ACE (Access Copperline Equestrian)
"I am forever grateful to Lance and his aqua tread for giving my horse his life - and his show career - back. Originally, we started Andy on a water treadmill program just to get him strong enough to be safely retired. With Lance's expertise and knowledge about how to optimize the workouts for Andy's condition, we saw improvement almost immediately. Andy gained amazing strength, conditioning and balance through his Fleet Crest workouts. I truly believe Lance's rehab program made all the difference in his recovery."
