About this product

Product Information

People in the horse world know all too well that performance horses, like human athletes, are trained, fed and cared for so they can go faster, jump higher and run longer. Daily training and competing can result in injuries, aches and pains, which if treated by drugs alone may only mask the problem and not remedy it. This is why equine massage therapist Jean-Pierre Hourdebaigt created a program of techniques that will enable owners and riders, trainers and grooms to: Alleviate soreness and pain in the horse's most vulnerable stress sites. Identify and treat the injuries common to any horse sport. Use relaxation and maintenance routines for the horse's mental and physical well-being. Hourdebaigt provides step-by-step instruction and more than 150 photographs and diagrams so that everyone including nonprofessionals can learn to massage their horse. Equine Massage may be the key to unlocking the door to a horse's future, one that promises good health and improved performance.The Howell Equestrian Library

Equine Massage
Equine Massage- A Practical Guide by Jean-Pierre Hourdebaigt,RMT was purchased primarily for my daughter who is considering a career in horse massage therapy. However, as I am the owner of a particularly ornery horse, I am thinking that it might be something for me to get a smattering of knowledge of the subject! Perhaps it would work miracles for mine or at least give my daughter a subject to practice on! Like massage therapy for humans, horse massage manipulates the soft tissue of the body to achieve either drainage, relaxation or stimulation. This is done by first knowing the anatomy of the horse which is described in chpater one, The Anatomy and Physiology of the Horse. The book further delves into how the massage therapist's posture is important in order to achieve comfortable massage. It describes specific techniques using text and photographs. Hydrotherapy is discussed in chapter 4. In chapter 7, we learn about the kinesiology of the horse and how it moves by using its joints, ligaments and tendons. Chapter 9 discusses a horse's conformation and gives examples of how to check for its soundness, conformation and action. A horse with poor conformation is more likely to have injuries. Body parts and stress points are discussed in chapter 10. The book rounds up by going into specific stressors for each discipline and each breed. For example, there would be different stressors for a thoroughbred horse than a pony. Expectations for one breed may be quite different than for another. Some are far more demanding. Record keeping is also discussed, showing how important it is to keep accurate records for every horse you treat. I think that this book is a wonderful overview of what it requires for horse massage, both physically and mantally. It is not a beginner's manual nor is it an advanced course, but a realistic overview of the topic. Equine Massage- a Practical Guide, gives a horse owner something to go on and something to work on with their horse. The photgraphs and graphics and information are more than adequate to get you started.Read full review

Love it!
I like the book and it's layout. I already used some of the techniques on a very nervous horse and she calmed down almost immediately. I'd recommend it to any horse lover
