Introduction to Aquatrainer: Manfred Müller

As a former member of the Swiss show jumping team and in his profession as a farrier, Manfred Müller sought an alternative after being forced to retire from equestrian sports due to health reasons, so that he could continue to devote his life to horses. After thorough research into effective and cost-efficient training and rehabilitation equipment for horses, Manfred Müller discovered aqua training 14 years ago, decided to purchase a unit, and founded his „Bonau Aquatherapy Center.” Unfortunately, this aqua trainer proved to be notoriously unreliable: it seemed like the motor broke down every six months, leading to costly and time-consuming downtime that frustrated not only Mr. Müller himself but, above all, his clients. So the decision was clear: a new machine was needed!

His many years of experience with technical requirements, horse- and user-friendly functionality, and durability proved invaluable when comparing alternative aqua trainers. After careful consideration, he ultimately decided to rely on Sascotec Horsepower equipment when relaunching his facility. Since then, operations have run smoothly.

His „Bonau Aquatherapy Center” in Switzerland—which, incidentally, is the first of its kind there—has since become an institution that has gained nationwide recognition for the successful treatment of its „patients.” Manfred Müller is one of the most experienced professionals in Europe when it comes to aquatic training for horses. It is important to him that the training be individually supervised and tailored. The equipment must be operated correctly, and the workload must be adjusted to the specific medical findings, the horse’s current health status, its current performance capacity, and the established training goals. For him, aqua training is a source of fulfillment. He helps horses and their owners—and is delighted when his treatment plans benefit both!

In any case, Sascotec Horsepower is delighted to have Manfred Müller—such a knowledgeable user and colleague—by its side! Let’s look forward together to many more years of fruitful collaboration in the service of our four-legged and two-legged friends.
