3 "Horses love Water Four Experts one Idea Four different experts worked on the development of the Kraft water walker: a leading manufacturer of horse walkers a race horse owner a swimming pool manufacturer a farrier They combined their expertise and this resulted in a well-engineered water walker. Horses that do not have access to natural water now have the opportunity to enjoy the many benefits of water. Horses are happy and excited when they enter water. They immediately begin stomping and splashing. Not everyone, however, is fortunate enough to live near an ocean, a lake or a river. Kraft Water Horse Walker, System Voncini, round or oval Enjoyment is not the only factor to consider: therapy, rehabilitation, muscle toning and conditioning are also very important factors in this connection. The successful reports on treatment and healing of severe injuries among race and sport horses using hydrotherapy sound like miracle stories. There are few possibilities for horses to enjoy natural bodies of water: Kraft brings the benefits of water to your farm!

6 Kraft...keeps your horses fit!... and now also in water Hydro or water therapy has successfully been used in equine medicine since the 90 s. It has been used for healing sicknesses as well as for preventing injuries. The Kraft Water Walker is not a swimming pool, but a tread pool; that is, the horses don t swim. They tread in water and have permanent contact with the ground. This provides balanced stress relief to the supporting skeletal structure. When horses swim, they raise their heads, cause pressure to their backs and hinder improved muscle toning (loosening). Water is the optimum medium for healing various illnesses as well as regaining strength. What is Hydrotherapy? Hydrotherapy is the methodological use of water to treat acute and chronic symptoms, to stabilize bodily functions, to be a preventative measure and for rehabilitation and regeneration. The buoyancy of the water also lessens the weight-bearing load on the limbs. Treading water (known as Kneipp in human medicine) has also been an effective method for treating illnesses and injuries. It also increases the healing process. The knowledge of the healing properties of water has been applied for hundreds of years in veterinary medicine. The Kraft Water Walker unites Therapy, Training and Wellness.

7 Hydro training: Training in water has a positive effect on horse s muscular development and circulation. To tread in water for 20 to 30 minutes requires great strength and promotes fitness, endurance and condition. Health and performance must be balanced in a responsible way. Too much emphasis is often placed on strength and condition. Consequently sinews, ligaments, bones and cartilage are often neglected. Hydrotherapy creates a healthy balance and is the ideal addition to basic training. Hydro training is an additional option that supplements conventional sport horse training. (breaking, lunging, horse walker or treadmill) A horse can make its rounds relaxed and unconfined in a Water Horse Walker. Hydrotherapy has the following benefits: Relaxed and gentle strengthening of the muscular system Accelerated healing of back and joint problems related to capsule tendon disorders Effective treatment for leg and hoof injuries, fast and healthy hoof growth Gentle mobilization, greater flexibility / less stiffness in the musculoskeletal system Promotes blood circulation, faster elimination of waste Anti-inflammatory effect Injury prevention and much more Wellness: Relaxed horses are the best premise for a good working relationship between rider and horse. Horses can move completely stress free in the water basin of a Kraft Water Walker. They can easily tread against the water and can freely choose their natural gait. The joy horses show while moving in water is evident. Horses do not feel confined when entering the pool. There is plenty of space, they feel good and do not feel caged-in. The Kraft Water Walker, whether round or oval, gives your horses the chance to relax after intensive training. This is also true for young horses during breaking pure wellness! As with all training equipment, we recommend the use of a water walker based on your own experience and also recommend that you speak with your personal veterinarian.

8 The Project Team: The Kraft Water Walker is a combined development of 4 experts, each with a different specialization. Claudio Voncinin, founder of the Horsewellness Company and race horse farm owner from Italy as well as Uwe Kraft, owner of the Uwe Kraft Company and breeder from Germany deserve special mention. Claudio Voncini from Undine, Italy is a passionate race horse owner and also owns a construction company. He has spent many years researching the combination of horses and water. Speaking with Experts: Andrea Menegaldo, farrier from Italy and co-developer of the Water Walker. Question: You are familiar with the first water walkers. How do you describe your experience? Answer: The training results are amazing. Even more fascinating is the joy of the horses when entering the pool and especially the even temper they show before and after training. Individual training and therapy programs can be implemented for a number of horses at the same time. This greatly reduces the work load of a horse farm. This team developed the Kraft Water Walker, System Voncini in approximately 5 years; from the initial blueprint to the start of production. The specialized knowledge of these 4 experts was combined to produce the best product for therapy, training and the general wellness of horses. Uwe Kraft from Baden-Württemberg, Germany and holds a Master s degree in Metal Construction. He founded the Uwe Kraft Company when he was 25 years old and this company is now a leading manufacturer of horse walkers in the world. He is also owner of a breeding and boarding farm. Hermann Josef Hackenesch, Riding and boarding farm in Munster, Germany. Question: Your farm received the first Kraft Water Walker in Germany. Why did you decide on a water walker? Answer: We had been researching this option for a long time. We cannot offer natural bodies of water such as a lake or river to our horse owners and that is why we were searching for an adequate alternative. Horses should not only have fun but also have physical and therapeutic benefits. Dorothee Gondert, Equine Practice, Trier. Question: As veterinarian and manager of an equine practice, you have decided to install a Kraft Water Walker. What moved you to this decision? Answer: The great freedom of movement with which the horses walked in the water walker convinced me. That was the first thing that impressed me when I visited the Hackenesch s water walker. Every horse can freely choose its own rhythm and gait. That loosens the muscular system and encourages stress free movement. The visibility through the walker s fences also adds to this freedom. I also feel that the oval shape ideally balances the weight-bearing load on the joints.
