HYDROTHERAPY UNIT
Offers
Special Care For Horses
PANAMA SPORT Horses, based in East Lancashire, with over 30 years of experience training and producing competition horses has unveiled a brand new product proven to be beneficial in the treatment and prevention of a variety of equine leg conditions.
The Panama Equine Hydrotherapy Unit uses chilled saline water
to drastically reduce a horse’s recovery time following an injury, operation or
ailment. The veterinary profession highly recommends the use of such treatment
for tendon injuries, laminitis, strains, flesh wounds, hoof growth and many more
conditions.
‘l’he benefits of equine hydrotherapy have been conclusively revealed in recent
years,’ says Carol Richardson, professional show jumper and partner in Panama
Sport horses. ‘We decided to develop our own unique unit offering the treatment
at the most cost effective price on the market’.
The Unit, made from heavily galvanised steel and stainless steel, also includes components and proven products from the swimming pool and refrigeration industries. The spa equipment incorporated into the product is currently used in the medical profession.
Prices start from £20,000 + VAT for a complete package including supply and training. Installation is charged separately to suit the customers requirements. ‘With the increasingly competitive world of equine sport,’ says Nick Saville, ‘every serious competition yard should consider a Panama Equine Hydrotherapy Unit’. We offer a quality product at an affordable price to ensure our clients’ horses maintain excellent health throughout their careers’.
Panama have produced a promotional pack illustrating the
merits of the Hydrotherapy Unit and further explaining the benefits obtained
from its use. To obtain a free copy, contact Panama Sport Horses by telephone on

Ellen Blackburn - Customer who had her horse treated in the
Panama Spa:
‘We thought we would have to shoot this young horse and now he is back
competing’ two months later - amazing’
‘After the initial treatment for the acute phase of
this condition, Niainh was referred for four weeks hydrotherapy to the Panama
Equine Hydrotherapy Unit. She responded so well to this treatment and, in my
opinion, the hydrotherapy was a significant factor in reducing her convalescence
period and hastening her return to ridden ‘exercise.'.
