As a horse owner, you know that your horse’s well-being is paramount. Whether they’re performing at their best in competitions, recovering from an injury, or simply enjoying their time with you, their physical health directly impacts their happiness and overall quality of life. But how often do we think about our role in helping them stay relaxed, healthy, and pain-free?
That’s where massage comes in. Just like us, horses benefit greatly from physical touch, and learning how to properly massage your horse can make a world of difference. I’m excited to introduce my online course, ‘Horse Massage for Horse Owners’, designed to teach you how to give your horse the relief and relaxation they deserve, all while deepening your connection with them.
Why Horse Massage?
Massage is a powerful tool that may improve circulation, reduce tension, increase flexibility, and promote overall relaxation. But it’s not just about physical health—it’s about emotional and mental well-being too. By using the right techniques, you can help your horse de-stress, recover from training or injury, and enjoy a more comfortable, fulfilling life.
As a Chartered Physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience in both human and equine care, I’ve seen firsthand the profound impact that massage can have. Horses, like humans, can hold tension in their bodies, especially after strenuous activities, because of poor posture, or due to injuries. But with the right touch, we can support their healing, ease discomfort, and help prevent future issues from arising.
