Equine Massage Therapy is an Intellectual
Process; working through the law of 'cause and effect', it not

horse's movement. However, the brain does not recognise

horse's brain accept negative and damaging movement?
because mother nature has not yet evolved to counteract the
very unnatural act of riding the horse in the ways that we do.

movements.

massage and equine sports massage therapy, its powerful
effects do not remain confined within the horses muscular
system. Its benefits include:
