Controlled trot work for professional training routines
The Power Line is the Horse Gym horse trot treadmill range supplied by Equine Health Centre. It is designed for professional equestrian facilities that require controlled trot exercise within structured training and yard management routines.
A horse trot treadmill sits between a walking treadmill and a gallop treadmill. It offers higher speed capability than the Stride Line walking treadmill, while remaining focused on controlled trot work rather than high-speed gallop exercise.
The Power Line range includes two models: P1 Gait and P2 Sport. The right model will depend on the horses using the system, the speed range required, the level of specification needed and the way the treadmill will fit into the daily routine of the yard.
What is a horse trot treadmill?
A horse trot treadmill is an equine treadmill designed for controlled work at trot. It allows the operator to manage speed, duration and incline in a repeatable environment, with the horse working without a rider or tack.
For professional facilities, this can be useful where consistent trot work, careful observation and controlled exercise conditions are important. The Power Line allows facilities to structure trot sessions according to the horse, the intended routine and the operator’s requirements.
Facilities that mainly require walk exercise should compare the Stride Line. Facilities that need controlled gallop work should consider the Race Line.
Power Line models
The Power Line range includes two Horse Gym trot treadmill models.
Both models include two ramps with lifting aids, ramp rails as standard, electric incline adjustment, nine automatic programmes and a second speed controller.
The P2 Sport includes additional features as standard including an observation stand, lubrication monitoring, distance measurement and accurate incline display.
Power Line P1 Gait
The Power Line P1 Gait is designed for controlled trot work with a maximum speed of approximately 18 km/h.
Trot treadmills are suitable for facilities that need a professional horse trot treadmill but do not require the higher speed or additional specification of the P2 Sport.

Technical details should be confirmed with EHC before purchase, site preparation or installation planning.
P1 Gait or P2 Sport?
The choice between P1 Gait and P2 Sport depends primarily on the speed range, specification level and intended use.
The P1 Gait is appropriate where the facility needs controlled trot work up to approximately 18 km/h and does not require the additional standard features of the P2 Sport.
The P2 Sport is more appropriate where the facility requires, more flexibility in use, a higher maximum speed, additional monitoring features and a more highly specified horse trot treadmill for regular professional use.
Horse type, size and intended routine should also be considered. The P1 Gait is designed for trot work with smaller horses, Icelandics and gaited horses. The P2 Sport is for all horses, especially, larger or heavier breeds, from leisure horses to high-performance equestrian athletes.
