Horse Walker and Dog Fitness Equipment
Year: 2015 | 2022 | 2024
Project
The purpose of the product is to be used for exercise and training of dogs and horses – to strengthen the musculoskeletal system, shape the structure and improve the tonus of the animals. Training consists of laps in a circle, with gradual loads, moving to more intense ones, until you feel where the physical limit of the dog or horse is, but this is determined by the trainer or owner. Animals should be walked around with a handler – if they do not have the necessary habits – until they get used to the direction of movement, the trajectory and distance when turning, as well as the increase in speed, until they acquire the appropriate habits. For dogs, it is mainly intended for large breeds, with a more pronounced build and need for movement – Cane Corso, Alabai, Caucasian Shepherd Dog, Kangal, Dogo Argentino, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Pitbull, Great Dane, Mastiff varieties, etc. In terms of horses, the trainer is suitable both for large breeds with a height at the withers of up to 180-190 cm, and for smaller breeds of ponies, with a height in the range of 90-145 cm.

Development
The main advantage of the development is its specific multifunctionality, which is expressed in the two main functionalities and purposes of the product in its various variants, by changing two modules – “module for a dog” and “module for a horse”. This is done in the two end zones of the main structure of the device, which end with vertical beams, on which the attachments of the so-called “pre-assembled modules” – “module for a dog” and “module for a horse” are changed. The main metal planks of both modules, which are attached to the vertical beams with the help of fasteners, are adjusted vertically accordingly, through a sufficient number of holes in the beams. Also one of the main advantages of the development is that the design of the overall structure is modular, which allows assembly and disassembly – it can be assembled and disassembled using fasteners, with no welds available in any of the joints and attachment zones. This makes the product convenient to use and store, according to its periods of operation. The metal structure is mainly made of: structural aluminum profiles; different shaped steel planks; fasteners and fastening accessories – skewers or studs; load-bearing steel rod – in one area with a flat section, and in the rest of the rod with a round section; an electromechanical drive device enclosed in the main body; several identical plastic parts, in the form of “plugs”, at the ends of the aluminum profiles. The product can only be used if there is enough space, because the overall dimensions of the structure, without the “module for a dog” or “module for a horse”, are significant – the diameter of the assembled structure is 4 m, and its total height in the assembled version is 1.4 m. When rotating the structure, the diameter with the two mounted “module for a dog” is 5 m, respectively the radius of rotation on one side is 2.50 m.; when rotating the structure, the diameter with the two mounted “module for a horse” is 11.1 m, respectively the radius of rotation on one side is 5.55 m. In the case of dogs, they are attached using a collar or breastplate, with a chain or a leather strap, for the beam – with rings fixed for the purpose. If used by one dog, weights may be placed on the opposite side of the structure at the discretion of the dog’s trainer or owner. With regard to horses, it is possible to use two variants: the first variant of movement is a common practice in the movement and training of a horse by means of pushing the horse, in its rear, from a beam with rings in which vertical rods are placed, chains or specific “fringes”; the second option is with bridles or an adapted attachment for the horse’s head, which are fixed with a chain or leather lead, again in the rings that are mounted in the crossbar. The base of the structure can be fixed on soft soil, through the steel spikes that are fixed in the soil; it is also possible to attach with bolts to a previously prepared cement foundation, with built-in steel sockets, with adapted threads.
