Equine massage enhances the performance and quality of life of horses by increasing flexibility, reducing stiffness, improving attitude, and shortening recovery time from injury. In addition to its many health benefits, equine massage strengthens the bond between the horse and his owner, trainer, or groom. Using these techniques, you′ll learn to "see" with your hands and sense areas that need special attention. Equine Massage, Second Edition is truly a hands–on guide to proven massage techniques that improve a horse′s well–being.
