Kraft Walkers

With the experience of having built over 200 horse walkers the following question has arisen many times.

Why can’t horse walkers be made that go straight, rather than in a circle?

After much thought a revolutionary ‘New’ oval horse walker was developed.

A frame system that can move around corners holds the moving gates, which are stabilised on each side by guide wheels and connected by a pipe-profiled chain in the centre. This chain connects the moving gates to one another and pulls the entire walker sections through the established route. This new system enables one to walk the horses in a straight line and make good use of the arena space. (Although it is also possible to have a circular pattern with this construction) Since the moving gates are supported by such a frame construction, the gates are more stable than the conventional walker style. As a result of this, the moving gates can also be constructed with more durable and heavier materials.

The system was installed in an existing indoor arena, 12 x 15 meters in size. Since the entire system is installed above the walking surface, the interior of the arena is still available for storage or other uses. In larger indoor arenas there is still room for riding. The frame system is free standing and a roof can be installed for outdoor use.

This ‘New’ oval system can be seen at the Kraft Co. factory or at our clients by prior arrangement. The Kraft Fuehranlagen Head Office is based in Germany.
