Yawning before or after a massage is a great indication that your horse is releasing stress that has been stored in their muscles. They will often yawn continuously for a few minutes - my favourite thing to see!
A lot of horses also don't feel comfortable releasing their stress in front of us, but if you watch them for a few minutes once they are back in the paddock, you may notice that's when they finally start releasing and all the yawns come out!
Pictured here is beautiful Simba, having lots of big releases after his massage today.
