At Stockyard Performance, we believe every athlete deserves an individualized approach because no two animals move, perform, or have the same demands placed on their bodies. Backed by years of clinical experience working with horses and livestock, every stay is tailored to the individual—combining Aquatred conditioning, chiropractic care, and advanced performance technologies to optimize movement, develop strength, and help every animal perform at its highest potential.
Because performance is in the details.
The best athletes aren't simply trained—they're prepared.
Preparation extends beyond the arena, the show ring, or the practice pen. It happens through intentional conditioning, individualized care, and attention to every detail that influences long-term performance.
— Dr. Molly R. Hamilton, Stockyard Performance
How Our Performance Programs Work
The Aquatred is far more than an underwater treadmill—it's a precision conditioning tool that allows us to build strength, improve movement quality, and support long-term performance while minimizing unnecessary stress on joints and soft tissues.
By adjusting water depth, treadmill speed, incline, and session duration, every workout is customized to the individual animal. This level of control allows us to safely increase resistance, encourage proper biomechanics, improve cardiovascular fitness, and target specific muscle groups based on the animal's age, discipline, condition, and performance goals.
While the Aquatred serves as the foundation of our conditioning program, it's only one piece of the equation.
By integrating Chiropractic care, MagnaWave PEMF, Cold laser therapy, Solarium sessions, Acuscope and Myopulse Therapy and Theraplate technology, we create a comprehensive approach that supports movement quality, muscular development, tissue health, and overall athletic performance. Rather than relying on a single modality, each therapy complements the others to help every horse and livestock athlete get the greatest benefit from every session.
Because when each component works together, every session becomes more effective.

5 Tailored Aquatred Sessions Per Week
