Editorial Review:

Product Description:
People in the horse world know all too well that performance horses, like human athletes, are trained, fed and cared for so they can go faster, jump higher and run longer. Daily training and competing can result in injuries, aches and pains, which if treated by drugs alone may only mask the problem and not remedy it. This is why equine massage therapist Jean-Pierre Hourdebaigt created a program of techniques that will enable owners and riders, trainers and grooms to:
  • Alleviate soreness and pain in the horse's most vulnerable stress sites.
  • Identify and treat the injuries common to any horse sport.
  • Use relaxation and maintenance routines for the horse's mental and physical well-being.
Hourdebaigt provides step-by-step instruction and more than 150 photographs and diagrams so that everyone—including nonprofessionals—can learn to massage their horse. Equine Massage may be the key to unlocking the door to a horse's future, one that promises good health and improved performance.

This is a very informative book, detailed in every way. The only problem is understanding the parts being I am a layman. But with much study I believe this book will help me recognize and determine the proper procedure to take to better comfort my mare.

One of those timeless treasures that will be referred to over and over and over.

Very easy to understand and follow. I am interested in becoming certified and this was a big help in showing me what will be expected and give me a jump start on learning anatomy.

This is a great book that has become invaluable to me. It gives a good round view of massage, from anatomy to practical exercises and stretches you can do with your horse.

I think this book covers everything a horse owner needs to know about massage.
