The ECB Equine Spa provides a controlled, clinically supported environment for recovery, injury prevention, and ongoing performance care.
By combining cold temperature with saltwater therapy, the system rapidly increases circulation, relieves pain, and supports faster, more effective tissue repair while enhancing the body’s natural healing process.
ECB Equine has manufactured over 450 equine Spas since 1998, with operations in both the UK and the USA. As a market leader in cold salt hydrotherapy, ECB systems are used across all equine disciplines, from rehabilitation facilities to high-performance training environments.
Backed by Professor Evan Hunt, ECB clients receive expert guidance on injury management, treatment protocols, and optimal use.
Biological Control & Water Quality
The system is designed to safely support thousands of successive treatments without frequent water replacement. Controlled temperature and chemical balance help eliminate the transfer of microbiological infection between horses.
Aeration & Oxygenation
Water aeration creates a gentle massaging effect while increasing dissolved oxygen levels. Lower water temperatures also increase the solution’s ability to carry oxygen, further supporting circulation and enhancing the body’s natural defence and healing response.
All ECB Equine Spa systems include a state-of-the-art chiller unit, manure collection harnesses, an initial supply of salts and chemicals, delivery, installation, full training, and ongoing support from ECB and Professor Evan Hunt.
Built for durability, performance, and long-term use, the Premier Fiberglass model offers a high-end solution for professional facilities and retains a clean, professional appearance for years of use.

The ECB Equine Spa is developed in collaboration with Professor Evan Hunt, a pioneer in cold salt hydrotherapy who led the original research behind its development. With over 35 years of veterinary experience, his work is widely recognized across the equine industry. He continues to support ECB clients with injury diagnosis, treatment planning, and recovery protocols, and exclusively works with the ECB Equine Spa.
“Tendon injuries unfortunately come with performance horses, be it racing, eventing, showjumping or polo. These have traditionally taken a long time to respond and in the first cases of Spa use I saw, I couldn’t believe the rate of recovery with results I hadn’t previously achieved throughout my 35 years of veterinary experience. Trainers who have used the Spa on a regular basis have quickly established that there is a major cost benefit in terms of keeping horses competing right through their training period.”

An equine Spa uses cold salt hydrotherapy to treat and prevent lower leg injuries in horses. It reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and supports faster healing while also helping maintain performance and conditioning.
Equine Spa therapy is commonly used for tendon and ligament injuries, laminitis, hoof conditions, sore shins, post-exercise swelling, and open wounds. It is also used preventatively to maintain limb health in performance horses.
Cold salt hydrotherapy combines low temperatures with a saltwater solution to remove heat, reduce inflammation, and stimulate circulation. The salt acts as a natural poultice, helping draw out fluid and support tissue repair.
Yes, it is widely used in veterinary and rehabilitation settings for tendon and ligament recovery. The cold temperature helps slow tissue damage while improved circulation supports faster healing and reduced swelling.
Sessions typically range from 10 to 30 minutes depending on the condition being treated and the training or rehabilitation program. Protocols can be adjusted based on veterinary or trainer recommendations.
Yes, it is designed for safe, repeatable use in professional environments. The controlled temperature, filtration system, and hygiene protocols ensure consistent and safe operation across multiple horses.
The system uses controlled temperature, salt concentration, and filtration to reduce the risk of contamination. This allows multiple horses to be treated safely without frequent water changes.
For many facilities, it becomes a valuable asset that improves recovery outcomes, enhances service offerings, and supports long-term horse health. It can also create a competitive advantage by offering advanced rehabilitation solutions.
The ECB Equine Spa is a proven system used globally, developed with veterinary expertise, and designed for consistent, measurable results. Its cold salt hydrotherapy approach, combined with advanced filtration and support, makes it a reliable solution for professional facilities.
