Are there massage
techniques I can do
myself?
techniques I can do
myself?
Yes. I will show you massage strokes you can use on your
horse based on what I find during my massage therapy.
I will also suggest stretching exercises both on the ground and
under saddle that can help your horse stay supple and
continue to gain flexibility in between sports massages.
Any massage work the rider does in between my visits will
only help the horse to retain long, loose muscles.
By massaging your own horse, you will also develop a bond
that goes beyond just being the "rider." The time you spend
massaging your horse will develop trust and a more relaxed
relationship between the two of you.
You as the rider will also become more aware of what is
"normal" for your horse. This will help you to find subtle
muscle problems and get them treated before they become
more serious, or lead to an injury.
