A horse treadmill for Beatrice-Mary

Shortly before Christmas, we set off for Beatrix Hentschel’s place with an Elite X 10 horse treadmill. When we arrived about 6 hours later, we were eagerly awaited by a few goats and a hard-working crew of men. The treadmill had to be lifted into place with a crane through an opening in the double-bar fence. But with so much manpower, it was done in no time. After a quick adjustment, half an hour later it stood in its spot as if it had always been there. Now all that was left was to level out the 6% slope of the specially prepared paved area, and everything was ready. We removed the ramps and plugged it in. And an hour and 15 minutes after our arrival, test horse Q was already on the treadmill. Q, too, took to it like a pro. After finishing our coffee, we headed home with one less treadmill. What a picture-perfect team—we wish Bea lots of joy with our horse treadmill.
