What is it?
Equine Sports
Massage therapy is based on the same principles used for human athletes.
Muscle related issues are muscle related issues, no matter how they're
packaged. Massage provides non-invasive, hands-on treatment that provides
numerous and lasting benefits to our horses. Massage is currently used
successfully by
racetracks across the country, show barns, and the US Olympic team. In
addition to benefiting these competitive equine athletes, massage benefits
pleasure horses of all breeds and disciplines. For a horse, all activity
is athletic. Therefore, all horses benefit from massage.
