Massage Therapy

People love massages, and so do horses. Their bodies are composed of more than 60 percent muscle, so there are lots of opportunities for aches and pains.

A good equine massage therapist can manipulate tissue to increase circulation, relax tight spots, relieve spasms, and just generally make your horse feel better.

Massage can be part of a treatment program for an injury and can actually help prevent injuries, especially in horses that are worked hard.
