Massage is an age-old therapy that has been used on horses
for centuries. There are many forms of massage, but all
of them provide numerous benefits. The application of
the hands-on techniques is designed to improve the quality
and length of the horses stride. Increase circulation,
range of motion, stamina and performance. Emotional effects
can also occur. Relaxation of the horses mind, a better
disposition, and return of his gentle character are often
noted by the owners after a course of massage treatment.
The horse himself enjoys his time being massaged, many
changes can occur to the horse whilst the treatment is
raking place. Head lowering, yawning, spontaneous stretching,
drinking water, even nodding of to sleep! All signs the
horse is benefiting and enjoying the session.
