The next time you workout, think about your sore spots

If you couldn't speak English, how would you express discomfort while your trainer is pushing you to perform?

You might not do what their asking.

Or maybe you'd do it, but not well.

Massage can fix more than you think for your horse (and you too).

Back tension is no joke — and of course, horses feel it too. Whether it’s from training, tack issues, or everyday stress, massage therapy helps release those deep layers of tension so your horse can move freely and perform at their best.

Effleurage: it’s one of the easiest techniques you can learn to support your horse between sessions.

In this quick Q&A, we’re talking about:
What effleurage is
Why it matters
And how owners, barn managers, and hands-on horse people can use it safely

Because being proactive about your horse’s bodywork isn’t just smart—it’s part of great horsemanship.

How do you know that your masseuse is making a difference?
Visible release looks like this:
>Increased circulation via visible popping veins
>soft eyes and droopy lips
>Big yawns
>Happy gut sounds (not pictured)

Massage isn’t just “spa day”—it helps the body reset so your horse can move comfortably and recover better.
