We have all had horses that we ride and know that there is a problem with the way the horse moves.
We try to pinpoint the problem, the vet cannot find a problem so... we wonder what to do next.

     Here I come into that gray area. To help the horse through Chiropractics and Massage Therapy. The results are immediate and very successful.

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

     Horse Chiropractics is the manual maneuvering of the vertebrae, to maintain alignment and ensure nervous system control and muscle co-ordination.

     Massage Therapy is done with accupressure. Working on the 26 stress points on each side of the horse. Stress points are where the ligaments and tendons come together with each muscle group. Due to nerve irritation, stress or fatigue. The muscle group shuts down, then the muscle is susceptible to minor rips and tears. The area then becomes very tight and sore. Other surrounding muscle groups then have to compensate and become fatigued. Manually the stress point is relieved and massaged bringing blood and oxygen to the area. This helps repair and heal the muscle tissue.

     I recommend that every horse owner watch their horses very closely. Watch their usual way of moving, standing and general attitude. Indications that there may be a problem can be easily detected through their body language, the horses way of telling us that they have some body pain.

     Many problems can be treated through chiropractics and massage therapy. The horse benefits greatly and we as the rider can feel the difference in a horse that moves properly and performs properly!!!
