Performance to the Max!

It was an informative and eye-opening night for the 50+ attendees of Tuesday night's Fitness Center demo/talk and Performance Horse Nutrition Seminar presented by Triple Crown/Southern States.

Selected as the ideal venue to host this combo performance-nutrition presentation, NEC and NEFCs commitment to holistic horse health, fitness, reconditioning, and rehabilitation under the perview of experienced veterinarians is setting a new standard for available care.

Thank you to all the attendees that braved the cold. It was a great night.

I loved it, thank you for hosting!

Do you feel the need for speed?

Get 17% faster in 18 sessions -guaranteed!

Medications and injections don't do this - only hard work and increasing stamina do. While injections help to repair or remove painful or inflammatory limitations, this more pure cardio makes your athlete fitter (either to go even faster or do the same work with less effort/impact).

Great for Racehorses, Barrel Racers, Jumpers, Eventers - any competing horse working against the clock ⏰️.

Get in here to help you win!

At $70 a session for 18 visits, it's about $1260 for this low-impact, university-proven increase in both speed and oxygen carrying capacity.

Don't believe us, click the link...then call us to get scheduled.

Tkx for sharing..

Not to be outdone, NEC's outdoor arena just recieved a footing upgrade on par with our indoor arena.

Significantly upgraded now with an all-weather sand and fiber mix - we're ready to rock and roll.

Rider feedback is already phenomenal! It's not too hard, it's not too soft, it's not too deep -even the most discriminating "Princess and the Pea" will approve.

Be sure to attend an upcoming show or clinic to enjoy this amenity. Keep an eye out for upcoming events.

I’ve cared for a horse that had this in her rehab treatment. Worked very well for her recovery. She came home with strong muscles to propel her going straight but was very weak turning and fell down trying to back up. Just need to be aware.

Congratulations to Dr Joyce!

Great achievement and so relevant to the fitness center.

That's a really pretty blue!

Brilliant representation! This is why we work so hard in equine rehab/reconditioning- First, we want to prevent injury with appropriate conditioning. Second, should injury occur, we want to prevent it from happening again with the best healing. Love the toothpicks! ... See MoreSee Less

Tailorable Tales of Two Dressage Horses

Meet Frederick and Devo (the grey). Each came to the fitness center with different rider goals and expectations. Working together, we developed two individualized plans.

Frederick is a PSG champ that has been out of work for a year. He is sound, thoughtful, and experienced. Yet his muscles are soft and he is clumsy. His gait is unsteady and his timing is off. His rider came to us to help build muscle and improve coordination. With the water at his elbow and a slight 2 degree incline, we set the treadmill speed to a comfortable walk for 25 minutes. Higher water on an incline increases resistance to build muscle and stamina. The repetitive nature of a balanced, working walk improves coordination and stability. In 3 sessions, the rider is quite pleased with his progress and he will decrease from twice a week sessions to once a week sessions after another 6 weeks.

Devo is a young dressage horse. He's very smart and willing but inexperienced. His rider seeks a more extended stride and more supple movements. We developed a plan to meet her specific goals. At weekly haul-in sessions, we keep the water just above the fetlock, no incline, and increase the speed to a very brisk walk. Additionally, the horse works in the water treadmill with a Equiband resistance band to keep some form and engage more muscles. With this set-up, his feet come up and out of the water, his feet reach way ahead to keep pace with the treadmill speed thus promoting improved extension, reach, and range of motion of both front and hind limbs. These fitness sessions augment this pairs work on their farm with their trainer. We adjust sessions based on weekly rider feedback. Mission accomplished!

Two very different dressage horses coming for different reasons. The versatility of the water treadmill is tremendous. The scientifically-proven results are unparalleled and unquestionable.

Call or email now before haul-in sessions fill for regular visits! Call or text 703-505-2213 or email info@novaeqc.com. Packages available as low as $70/session.

Despite the cold and wind, the atmosphere was warm with an awesome group of riders and horses.

With more than 100 trips around the arena, local riders made good use of the indoor arena and really enjoyed each other's company.

Enormous kudos to 'organizer extraordinaire' Brooke, the always reliable and organized Alexa, and even Anna on her day off came in to help. Manuel and the guys kept things rolling behind the scenes. What a great team!

Thank you for attending. We look forward to making the next the one better, and warmer.
