Kraft Brothers, Inc. manufactures unique electro-mechanical oval horse walkers that allow multiple horses to be exercised simultaneously in a controlled manner. Studies show that exercise on the oval loads horses’ limbs with a combination of straight and turning movements –in contrast to the typical round walker- as would be experienced during riding or in free movement. This design offers significant biomechanical advantage to the horse’s wellbeing. Frank and Uwe Kraft, co-founders of the company, have been in the horse industry since 1977, when they began breeding and training horses in Germany. In 2004, the American branch was founded in Paris, Kentucky and has now moved to Winchester, Kentucky.  Read the Kraft sponsorship press release
