❔When should your horse have a massage❔
All horses are different so some horses may have a massage every 2 months and be fine whereas others may need a treatment every week.
It isn’t always to do with their workload or fitness levels.
Here are some signs to look out for that may suggest your horse needs some release:
▫️They are grumpy or out of character.
▫️They may be hunched up or appear to be uncomfortable.
▫️Tripping over, in hand and ridden.
▫️They struggle to pick up the correct canter lead.
▫️Look out for tail swishing, twitching, ear pinning and head tossing when tacking up or grooming.
▫️They are uncomfortable around their back.
These are just a few signs to look out for suggesting that your horse would benefit from a massage. I may not be able to find the sole cause but working through the whole body will help release casual and compensatory issues.
