Body work

Keeping your horse‘s body in tip top condition is key to their long term health and well being. It will reduce the need for costly vet visits and increase the longevity of your horses ridden life.
Let’s talk tendon injuries. They are the most common injuries in sport and pleasure horses. All tendons are attached to muscles, fact. If those muscles are tight, working in a compensatory fashion or fused by the fascia that surrounds them then the first area to take the strain is the tendon. Repetitive exes strain to the tendon, eg a muscle that isn’t free to recruit in it’s designed function will stretch, tare or break and then it’s time to call the vet.
Horses being prey animals will mask any pain from the on the looker as it’s a sign of weakness and means when under attack they could be picked off first. Due to this fact if we notice our horse is lame it’s most likely been a long term issue that has been bubbling under the surface.
Regular body work treatments can show up signs of potential problems early through your practitioners fingers. It also increases blood flow around the body, increases the flow of the lymphatic system helping your horse to rid their body of toxins and increases the production of serotonin helping your horses state of mind and wellbeing. 

All in all it’s a win win 🥇
