Now that is something people will pay to use!
There is only one Aqua - Tred around and its a few hours from me. If someone around here would put one it, they would make a killing! No ghemics, its hydrotherapy & exercise thats easier on horse and rider all in one!

Location: Texas | I personally love the theraplate, me and my horse! Works for me and my horse.. Maybe it's just a coincidence but, my horse ran the exact same pattern at the BBR finals and his finals time was .3 faster after using the theraplate. & yes I do pay for sessions. 15 min before a run and 15 after. |

| I love the Theraplate. There is a lady near me that has one, she charges $20 for a 20 minute session. I was skeptical of it at first but after the first 3 times my mare was on it I could really see and feel a difference. If I had the money to buy one I would lol |

| That's definiteky in the plans for us!
The theraplate was just a start tool. I've been researching equine pools (we both have construction back grounds) so we are planning on building one. My long term goal is to outfit a facility for physical therapy for equines. I've spoken to other facilities and it's not my goal to try to board/accommodate 50+ horses. So still working out the whole business plan! I would want smaller scale so I can manage to travel still. So here's a question: would you pay $800 a month for your horse to be boarded at a facility that included swims twice a week etc. or would you pay for let's say sessions for swim and other equipment? I feel like I would rather haul to a facility and be there working with my horse rather than send one off. But that's me personally and I'm admittedly stubborn and try to do everything myself :)
I was looking at the pool, theraplate, teeter totter and several different round pens plus a walker. Appreciate y'all's thoughts and opinions ! I'm very focused on this, I'm not wanting to head back to the corporate world! Haha |

| There is a facility in Bryan texas. I haven't seen their pricing but you could contact them or try to look up online. I want to say a while back I was told $135 a session. |

| Has anyone used these with massage therapy? I'm curious to see how well the two would go together. I'm still trying to do research so if anyone has used both I'm very curious to hear how it works for you! :) |
