Product Description
Synopsis
Horses, like humans 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 - Pennie explains that it's not difficult to give your horse a basic sports massage, given a little practice. She explains how to recognise problems, 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.

First Sentence
By nature, horses are flight animals, designed to evade predators and move swiftly at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour; their eyes are set at the sides of their head, facilitating almost 360-degree vision; they can sleep standing up; and by grazing and moving in herds they benefit from sharing many eyes and ears, constantly alert to danger.
