Urbana-- This is the time of the year many of you may start slacking from your new years resolution.

And it is no different for those in the animal kingdom.
So some University of Illinois students are helping out.

Don't rub your eyes you are looking at a horse on a treadmill.
In fact this is a high speed equine treadmill at the University of Illinois.

Vet students were showing off their equipment to horse owners.
The focus today, to talk about horse health and proper care.
And those who showed up got to see some cool tools.

""Today we're actually sticking an endoscope, which is essentially a small camera down the horses neck. And we're actually looking at it's larynx while the horse moves on the treadmill at a high speed which is really interesting.And then we are showing the video feedback to the attendees," says U of I vet student Ashley Maul.

So next time you are at the gym, no complaining. At least you don't have a camera down your throat.
Students also showed some equine first aid.

This was the fourth year in row vet students have been holding their horseman's clinic.Horses On Treadmills?
