Equine Massage ...                       is the transposition of human sports massage to the horse. The benefits of this therapy are becoming widely recognized and made use of in this country. For years trainers to the top equine athletes have been employing the skills of massage in their daily management, thus preventing injury or poor performance due to muscular imbalance, pain or tension. Massage detects the early indications of discomfort and provides you with information that can enhance performance, health and aid the prevention of injury.

Massage encourages mental relaxation, a horse may fall asleep during a treatment, they may portray their pleasure by facial expression or natural body language signals, of which you may never have seen your horse reveal.

Massage is beneficial to every horse whatever their age or discipline. It also supports the rehabilitation  of the horse after illness/injury or whilst changing disciplines.

 Unlike the human athlete the horse cannot easily tell you of a minor strain or tension. It may at first present itself to you by a change in behaviour or performance, pulling out stiff, slow to warm up, favouring a rein. Horses will try to avoid pain. Actions such as bucking, rearing, refusing, kicking ect. are all a form of communication portraying that something may be amiss and may not, as usually thought be down to a behavioural problem. However at times a horse may be too well mannered to tell you! Massage could.

Equine sports massage is a truly enjoyable health enhancing therapy whilst providing invaluable information which may prevent and detect injury.
