Product description
With your inquiry you submitted a drawing of the Irongate horse exercise machine. The unit is made of galvanized steel, weighs approximately 7000 pounds, and is powered by an electric motor. In operation, the machine resembles a motorized merry-go-round. As the machine rotates at a desired speed the horses, which are placed in one of eight compartments in a chute incorporated in the unit, trot along at the speed the unit is rotating. This provides a cost-effective way to exercise and train several horses simultaneously, while eliminating the need for an exercise rider for each horse.
