As an Equissage certified massage therapist, whenever I am faced with a sudden issue involving a horse in training or, more generally, any equine problem, my very first thought is always about what could potentially be causing discomfort for the horse. I consider various possibilities, such as a sore muscle or ill-fitting tack. My primary concern revolves around the question, “What can I fix or adjust to make this horse feel happier and more at ease?” It’s crucial to ensure our equine companions are not only performing their best but also feeling their best.
