Water walker set to revolutionise training
“Water therapy is the best thing.
“People have been taking their horses to the beach for years, but this is a labour-saving device.”
Among the most high-profile trainers to have used the facilities so far are Bruce Watkins, Michael Lane and Simon Miller.
“It (the water walker) just puts no pressure on their legs,” he said.
“You still get that fitness without that concussion of their legs.
“For a horse that has a bit of an issue with legs you can get them quite forward in this before you actually have to put the pressure of galloping on them.
“The prime example is Black Caviar. She lives in one and continues to win.”

Relief for Mark Kavanagh as tests show Atlantic Jewell is fine
MARK Kavanagh / Atlantic Jewel
"We have no special targets in mind at this stage. That will be discussed after we get an idea on how she does in her first couple of weeks' pre-training," Kavanagh said.
There was worry about Atlantic Jewel's back after she demolished Wakeful Stakes rivals by seven lengths.
"There has been an injury there, but it is well enough to say that she can go back into work," Kavanagh said.
The filly will start her pre-training by spending a month on a water-walker.
"If she's OK after doing time on the water-walker she will come into the Flemington stables, but if she shows sign of having one hair out of place we will be waiting for the spring with her," Kavanagh said.
