Customer Reviews

Very Informative!

I have been searching for a book that had both useful knowledge, as well as useful diagrams. This book definitely delivered! This book is so easy to follow and understand. In training and working with horses, we occasionally need to do some physical therapy and/or massage on them. This book helped deliver on a lot of new massages for our athletes.

Great place to start!

This book is a great overall place to start in the area of equine therapy and message. I found it a great addition to my other books on the subject.

Simple and Easy to Understand

This book on equine massage therapy was very clear and easy to understand. It pinpointed specific places to do specific exercises, and gave clear pictures of the anatomy you were dealing with. How to do the exercises, and how to improve your work with the horse in general, was very well explained, and made sense for someone who is not an expert.
