The equine body is comprised of 60% connective tissue, and 90% of elasticity comes from the muscle; it is perhaps one of the most important aspects of an athletes body. With equine sports massage therapy, there are endless benefits that help your horse to function at the highest level of pleasure and professional accuracy possible. It does this by breaking up tension and adhesions that build up i
n the muscle with time or overwork, increasing blood flow throughout the body and oxygen levels within the blood, relieves stress, improves disposition, and ultimately improves the holistic performance of your equine. Massage is great for any equine athlete in any discipline or size: pulling horses, show horses including, western pleasure, ranch pleasure, hunters/jumpers, dressage, race horses, trotters and pacers, reining and cutting horses, endurance and eventing horses, and even for the trail riding horse. It is even great for dogs, show heifers, and other bovines that could benefit from the fluidity and disposition changes that massage brings. Disclaimer: Sports Massage Therapy is not a substitute for veterinary medicine and should not be perceived as so.
