Description
Whether your horse is a trained competitor or a weekend trail mount, he can suffer from muscular stiffness, strain, and injury, just like a human athlete. All of these common complaints can be treated--and further physical deterioration avoided--with sports massage. In this superbly illustrated, step-by-step guide, human and equine massage therapist Pennie Hooper explains that, with a little practice and simple techniques--namely compression and cross-fiber friction--you can give your horse a basic sports massage. Not only will his physical self transform as he feels better and moves more freely; you will find his responsiveness and general attitude toward work will improve, as well.
