Thermal, CA – November 7, 2024 – As industry leaders in stalls, walkers, and fencing for equine facilities, Barnwalkers has established itself as the gold standard. In partnership with IDA Development, renowned for building top-of-the-line arenas, steel barns, covered arenas, and for installing Equitan poured rubber flooring, the two companies have combined their extensive equestrian experience to enhance the health and fitness of horses at the Desert International Horse Park in Thermal, California. Together, they are introducing a 6-horse walker on the show grounds.
The 6-horse track roof walker offers 60-minute rental sessions for competitors, with 30 minutes of actual walking time and time allotted for loading and unloading horses. This 60-foot walker features IDA’s signature Equitan rubber flooring, which provides a safe, cushioned, seamless surface that is gentle on hooves and joints. The walker will be available from November 2024 through April 2025.
We encourage early reservations, as this is expected to be a popular amenity. To make a reservation, visit barnwalkers.com/walkers.
This new feature at the Thermal show enables horses to leave their stalls more frequently, reducing the need for hand-walking and supporting better fitness. Barnwalkers’ horse walkers are known for their solidity, reliability, and safety, with motors mounted beneath the table in the center and surrounded by protective covers for added security.
