Description: Horse at cornell tredmil lab. BEFORE YOU COMMENT Please read this from user at204 I am currently a veterinary student at Cornell University (and yes, Soliloguyofastar, Cornell is currently the #1 ranked vet school in the country, if not the world), and the treadmill seen in the video is used for diagnostic purposes. Often times problems in a horse's gait is not seen unless the horse is running at high speeds, but just running a horse in a field has too many uncontrolled variables. For instance, you can't tell if a horse's improper positioned while running in is a result of an injured leg, or just because the ground is uneven.) As such this machine is necessary so that the doctors can observe the horse in a controlled environment and perform a gait analysis, often times with the aid of a video recording device. The treadmill can also be used in diagnosing respiratory, cardiac, and several other diseases. As such, this equine treadmill is a medical device that is used by licensed veterinarians that have had 8+ years of professional medical training (training that is often more rigorous than that of human doctors!), and is in no way cruel or abusive towards the animal. WOW all the negative comments need to stop. Cornell is one of the best vet schools in the world. This horse is TRAINED to run on this tredmil and its used for research in training. dont you think if this horse didn't want to run, it would just stand there? How many horses do you know if you just stuck it on the tredmil would start running? Plus if you're too blind to notice he's wearing leg protection and has a fuzzy front harness. Yeah, they must not care about him at all. So for all you ignorant people, try doing a little research before you just jump to stupid conclusions.

nimrodty ::: Favorites Equine treadmills are not cruel, they have helped save many horses from exercise injuries, they are monitored and are not used for exessive amounts of time, do your research for gods sake. 07-08-27 04:59:59 __________________________________________________
nimrodty ::: Favorites Thank's to Equine Treadmills my eventer has now been outside in the paddocks for half an hour every day, does that make me cruel for letting Vetinary professors save his life?

nimrodty ::: Favorites Spot on there! It does make me laugh when all these 14 year olds whinge about proven therapies being 'cruel' when they're probably doing more damage to their horses by over feeding and mindless riding, either that or they seriously dont know anything about horses at all. 07-08-27 04:55:19 __________________________________________________
