How can Equine Sports Massage Help your Horse???

Any and All types of horses can benefit from Equine sports Massage Therapy.  From show and rodeo horses to the trail and companion horse.  These horses are string athletes and loving companions and they all deserve a little extra attention when it comes to their muscular system!

Undue tension and tightening in any part of the equine body will reduce effectiveness of the entire body. A muscle can never be neutral; if it doesn't work for you, it works against you. If your horse is "favoring" a sore muscle, it is using energy to "guard" and  "protect". This action hinders the natural design of free-flowing movement. The result is a series of "choppy" movements rather then one smooth movement and also causes discomfort for your equine. This and many other reasons is why Equine Sports Massage Therapy is so beneficial for our equine friends!
