Horsewalkers can be useful if your horse has been off work and needs to be gently walked so you can get on with mucking out etc.. its time saving in that respect, or if you are unable to excercise your horse and there is no turnout where you keep the horse, a walker comes in useful. They can be useful for cold backed horses too - they can go in the walker for 5 or 10 mins before you get on. Its important to change direction also so not always on the same turn.
If you ride your horse and its turned out every day then its unlikely it would be used much.
i think one disadvantage could be is that if used in replacement for riding you could build the horse up physically but mentally he would be switched off. Some people arent keen on them as the horse is constantly turning. but i dont think its a problem. My farrier likes the floor to allow the horses foot to move naturally ie some horses walk with a twist action of the foot before it leaves the ground and on a rubber surface this action can be interfered with due to grip and can cause problems within the foot or tendons/ligaments. a sandy or bark surface may be good.

What should you use to dry your horse?
A towel and walking him around, whether it be hand walking or a hot walker. You can also use special blankets, but you need about 3 of these because you have to change them when one gets wet, so I prefer the cool down and towel, and as a plus, you spend more time with your horse when cooling him down and toweling him dry, creating a stronger bond between him and you.
