What can massage do for your horse – you may be surprised

August2014 028Making your horse comfortable and relaxed can be achieved by providing an equine massage. Whether you ride barrels, jumper, dressage or out for a recreational ride giving your horse a massage will increase your horse’s relaxation.

An equine massage will relax the horse and alter the blood flow to the body. A tense horse will use the blood required for digestion,in the stomach, to activate large muscle groups. When a horse becomes tense, blood tends to leave the stomach and go into the major muscle areas and horses can develop digestive problems but when you get a massage, the body begins to unwind and relax.
