Ongoing Maintenance
After your initial consultation you will be advised on an ongoing maintenance program, tailored to your horse’s individual needs. Good equine muscle maintenance leads to injury prevention and increases peak performance. It is your first line of defense against musculo-skeletal disorders.
Being Prepared for your Appointment
Please schedule your massage appointment during a quiet time at the stable (ie avoid feeding/turnout times)
~ Have horse clean and dry, preferably waiting comfortably in their stall prior to appointment
~ Please do not offer treats or groom your horse during their massage session
~ Results are best obtained in the right environment. A spacious well lit area free of clutter and with a flat standing surface for the horse works well.
