I’m always very greatful for reviews or recommendations 😊
It’s great to know your horse continued to benefit from their treatment once I’d left and it also helps people to consider me, when looking for someone for their horse.
Most of my business comes from word of mouth so thank you to everyone who supports me. Feedback is a gift 🫶

🐴 Massage and The dressage horse 🐴

➡️ The over-bent neck often seen in the dressage horse can be one of the most detrimental postures a horse can experience. Muscular stress found in the poll or nuchal ligament can radiate along the entire top line and down into other areas of the body. Dressage horses need to be free of muscular restrictions to be able to work with power, collection and engagement.

The most vulnerable areas of the dressage horse are:

▪️ Poll
▪️ Jaw
▪️ Neck
▪️ Withers
▪️ Back
▪️ Lumbar region
▪️ Hindquarters
▪️ Abdominals
▪️ Shoulders

Massage benefits to the dressage horse include:

➡️ Promotes physical and emotional relaxation.
➡️ Promotes overall muscular health and ability, preventing the tendons, ligaments and myofascial tissue being used as compensatory acts of support.
➡️ Promotes the need for flexion to assist with the physiological movements of dressage.
➡️ Strengthens muscular and tissue structures providing stability for more advanced dressage moves.

🐴 Massage & The Driving Horse 🐴

Driving horses are utilised in a number of ways from pleasure riding to competing professionally around courses. Horses driven in a collar can develop muscular tension in the shoulders which can radiate to the muscles in the neck and withers.

Benefits of massage therapy applied to the driving horse include:

➡️Eases lumbar and abdominal stress ➡️Targets the need for muscular tissue strength and stability to pull the cart
➡️Assists with balancing essential electrolytes to help prevent exhaustion, dehydration and tying up
➡️Promotes the fittening and repair process to strengthen ligaments and tendons to help reduce the risk of injury
➡️Progressively treats any one-sided muscular or skeletal developments
➡️Relaxes the horse emotionally and physically, preventing the development of trigger points
