Why Should I Massage my horse?

All horses are athletes and therefore there muscles need attention too. Massage can improve your horses overall muscular health. It can also help to increase circulation and release any unwanted toxins from the body, massage can help loosen tight muscles and thus may prevent injuries in the future. Massage along with stretching can help the muscles work more efficiently and keep them from becoming sore or stiff.
