"😱 My horse has broken out in hives post treatment sessions!" - Not to worry, this is actually a good sign 🤗
If your horse appears a bit lumpy & bumpy post treatment, then your physio/bodyworker/massage therapist has done a good job and has elicited a histamine response in the body and therefore a healing response ⛑️
Histamine helps to trigger an inflammatory response, allowing increased blood flow and therefore increased nutrients to the area & also an increase in toxin removal 🩸
It is recommended not to ride while there is this response taking place, but it should clear within 24 hours
Has this ever happened to your horse?
