Massage Therapy
Equine Sports Massage is now considered an essential part of the maintenance and treatment of horses and ponies. Massage can benefit all horses... from children's ponies to top competition horses.
Massage keeps muscles healthy, strong and supple and prevents atrophy and injuries. Routine massage is highly recommended.
