When should my horse get bodywork?
There are many situations that can cause stress on your horse’s body. This changes their tension and musculature flow. We often do not think of this. It’s important to remember that horses can preform their job well, but that doesn’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...

🐴 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.

🐴 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.

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

🐴 Hoof Changes:
Did you know that centimeters of hoof growth causes your horse’s body to adjust? Making changes to your horse’s feet or shoes causes more changes than you may realize.

🐴 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 they’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 horse’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 can’t see or feel any change, that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Horses are strong. They are so strong that they are incredible at acting like they feel fine until they can’t.

✨Back Pain & Saddle Fit✨

Did you know horses have over 700 muscles with the human body having around 300 muscles! Isn’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 “bad” 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! It’s an investment, but one that will be worth it in the long run.

Benefits of Massage:
~ Relieves muscle tension
~ Helps prevent injury & adds a wider range of motion
~ Stimulates muscles

Did you know that it only take 3 seconds or less for essential oil aromatic chemicals to reach a horse’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.

🚩Behavioral Red Flags🚩
Horses are funny creatures and sometimes do silly things, but acting goofy can be a a behavioral red flag. Sometimes these behaviors can be signs of discomfort, pain, not enough movement, or even stress.

🚩 Head shaking, weaving, or cribbing:
All of these behaviors are a coping mechanism when a need is missing in an equine’s life, such as proper natural movement (if they are stalled) or exercise. It can also be caused by poor riding, such as excessive pulling on the reins or improper saddle fit. These missing needs and improper riding can also cause muscle soreness and atrophy over time.

🚩 Yawning in Excess:
Nope, not because your horse is tired, it’s a way of releasing build up stress from many factors…excessive pulling on the mouth, lack of dental care/improper dental care or stressful situations, just to name a few.
