Health comes first over anything else. Horses are amazing at hiding their aches and pains while still performing their very best. Even though perform well doesnā€™t mean they are living to their fullest.

We stewards of our horses. They are giving their best and we should help them feel their best so they can live to the fullest! By feeling good they can perform and last even longer.

Put your horseā€™s muscular health on your checklist of care and maintenance. Schedule a session to understand their muscular health and proceed as your therapist recommends.

Does this mean getting your horse massaged after every ride? No, maintenance massage can be as little as one every quarter year to monthly massages. For high performance horses massage should be customized to their workload.

Put your horse first. Your horse has one life, so make it a good one by maintaining their body. Without a healthy horse, we cannot participate in the joys of owning or riding a healthy, happy horse.

šŸŖ»Fun fact!šŸŖ»
Did you know that horses can have a paradoxical reaction to lavender? For most horses lavender is relaxing, but in some cases is has the opposite effect on them. This is rare, but for some horses lavender will make them more alert, restless, or hyperactive.
Pretty weird, huh?!

Is your horse cinchy?
Usually, when a horse is cinchy, that means there is be a problem, not them just being naughty.
In my experience as a equine massage therapist, most of the horses I worked on that were cinchy had poor saddle/cinch fits and/or sore Ascending Pectoral and Latissimus Dorsi muscles. Through fitting corrections and massage, all my clients have improved and no longer are sensitive to being cinched up. Horses can also become sensitive to cinching when the cinch is too tight too long, improper cinch length which can lead to over-tightening, and pinching which can happen with stiff cinches.

When should my horse get bodywork?
There are many situations that can cause stress on your horseā€™s body. This changes their tension and musculature flow. We often do not think of this. Itā€™s important to remember that horses can preform their job well, but that doesnā€™t mean they are stress free and are on their A game. Horses should be on a routine schedule with their massage therapist, but here are some things that also call for your horse to get a massage outside of their normal massage routine...

šŸ“ Competitions:
Just like humans, horses get stressed and tense up when in a new/stressful environment. Whether your horse is cool and calm or super anxious, stress affects their body.

šŸ“ Workload Changes:
Any change in your horses workload means change in their body. Anything from slowing down for winter, preparing for the show season, or adding new movements to your riding routine.

šŸ“ Stall Rest:
From the lack of movement, horses can become extremely tense from being on stall rest.

šŸ“ Hoof Changes:
Did you know that centimeters of hoof growth causes your horseā€™s body to adjust? Making changes to your horseā€™s feet or shoes causes more changes than you may realize.

šŸ“ Trailer Rides:
Just like stall rest, a lot of tension is put on your horses when trailered. The horse is constantly keeping itself balanced in a small area which causes much tension in the body. Even short hauls can cause a large amount of stress on the horse.

Horses may look big and strong. They most definitely are, but theyā€™re also very sensitive. Even the smallest amount of change can affect them. They have stress added to their lives that affects their mental and physical function. These small changes should be looked at more seriously as they are affecting our horseā€™s body and mind negatively.
Having your horse on a regular massage routine and added more when necessary will benefit your horse immensely. Just because you canā€™t see or feel any change, that doesnā€™t mean it isnā€™t happening. Horses are strong. They are so strong that they are incredible at acting like they feel fine until they canā€™t.

āœØBack Pain & Saddle FitāœØ

Did you know horses have over 700 muscles with the human body having around 300 muscles! Isnā€™t that amazing?!

Unfortunately, 75% of horses in the USA today have a poor saddle fit that effects their back muscles, which include the Trapezius, Rhomboids, Longissimus and more.
When a muscle deteriorates, it becomes a snowball effect with the other muscles. Other muscles try and compensate for the effected muscles, which then negatively effects the compensating muscles.

As an equine massage therapist, I see so many horses with these problems. Every equine event I attend, I see not one, not two, but many horses that have poor a saddle fit with atrophied muscles. In some cases, severe atrophy which causes much pain and discomfort. This also may include ā€œbadā€ behavior.

So how can you reverse this problem or even avoid it? First thing to do is have a saddle fitter fit your horse. Secondly, have an equine massage therapist come work on your horse to help them recover and regain the muscle they lost. This takes time, but your horses will feel better physically and mentally! Itā€™s an investment, but one that will be worth it in the long run.

Did you know that it only take 3 seconds or less for essential oil aromatic chemicals to reach a horseā€™s brain and have a physiological effect? This is amazing!

Oils are great for your horse in so many ways, but there are safety measures that need to be taken. Not all horses will react the same way to one oil. Some can be allergic or have the opposite reaction to what the oil is intended for.

As a Certified Equine Aromatherapist, I take safety very seriously as it is my purpose to create healthier horses through natural care.
