Horses are energetic animals that love to move, run and jump.
In the wild horses can travel up to 30 miles (50 km) a day searching for food.
The health and vitality of a horse depends primarily on the amount it moves.
Movement is a prerequisite for good circulation and healthy growth.
Horse walkers are an ideal addition to any farm in order to balance out movement deficits and to allow controlled training of horses through walking or trotting.
Horse walkers are usually driven from the middle by a central drive unit.
