RRP: £16.95. Horses, like human athletes, can suffer from muscular stiffness, strains and injuries, all of which can benefit from well-applied sports massage. Using simple massage techniques – namely compressions and cross-fibre friction – equine sports massage therapist Pennie Hooper explains that it’s not difficult to give your horse a basic sports massage, given a little practice. She explains how to recognise problem, through observing your horse on the move and by using your hands on his body. Clear diagrams and photos show where and how to apply the massage techniques to aid specific problems. As a preventative treatment against muscle problems, sports massage is second to none. Moreover most horses really enjoy a good massage, just as we do, making them feel better and move more freely as a result. Hardback 60 pages approx 220x280mm.
