Helping your performance horses stay in top shape through massage therapy & stretching! I currently travel through out Indiana, ohio, Tennessee, & Kentucky.Equine massage therapy is a series of massage strokes applied with certain pressure to help increase blood flow, reduce stress, relax the horse, loosen joints, tight & knotted muscles, & ligaments by working to get the soft tissue healthy.
