Equine Massage for Horse Owners 
Just like us horses benefit both physically and mentally from massage, it is know to be a stress reliever as 
well as increasing circulation, flexibility, help to build muscle and is a bonding exercise that helps you  
establish trust. 
Massaging your horse may not seem like a priority but you will both benefit from it and your horse will 
appreciate it. 
Benefits of Equine Massage 
When muscles are massaged or worked, the pressure from the massage encourages circulation,  
releasing the toxins and increasing the circulation. A massage should also encourage your horse’s natural 
response to stretch. A good equine massage works the muscles and helps to build muscle and can be 
compared to a quick gallop or jumping round. 
Equine massage not only helps to release tension in the muscles but also the ligaments and tendons as 
well. This means your horse will be more flexible.  
For horses who undertake sports or other strenuous activities their muscles, often are not given much 
time to relax. An equine massage and a day off can help to prevent injuries. 
Equine massage is an excellent way to help horses who are resting or recuperating to maintain their 
muscle mass, relieve their stress and burn some energy.

course when you get to learn from an expert is invaluable. Equi-Therapy have a one-day intensive Equine 
Massage Certificate course which is designed specifically for those who wish to learn and utilise basic
