Massage Therapy is an extremely useful preventative and therapeutic measure for every kind of horse, whether it's your back yard buddy or a top of the line show animal we see competing in the Olympics. Fatigued muscles, ligaments & tendons can all benefit from massage therapy in addition to any needed medical therapies. There are cases on record where even chronic ailments such as arthritis, foundering, and neurological problems have responded to the touch of the equine massage therapist and have shown results.

It is totally non-invasive, and is a wonderfully comprehensive tool to work with the resolution of accidental and sports related injuries, along with promoting the general good health and well-being of our equine friends. We appreciate the hard work and unconditional love our horses provide for us---massage therapy helps us give something back to our companions. The techniques applied in equine massage therapy provide the needed relief for a total health care regimen, along with our personal satisfaction that we have helped our horses the best way we could.
