WHAT TO EXPECT

  Equissage Therapy begins with a short "evaluation" checking certain muscle groups for any sensitvity and to help put the horse at ease by introducing him or her to the techniques.  It is important that the horse be groomed and free of any dirt or debris so as not to irritate the skin. Also, the owner or handler needs to be present to hold the horse for the first session.  The massage takes 1 hour, and ample time should be scheduled.  After the massage, the horse needs to be walked for about 10 minutes, then allowed to rest, with plenty of clean drinking water.
