Protect Your Horse's Back
Even a well-made, good-fitting saddle can have a negative impact on your horse’s back. This happens because of two reasons:
Jumping, cow work, learning to sit the trot: they all result in a lot of concussion that’s concentrated in one place.
Your horse’s back is constantly changing. It’s impossible to stay on top of it. Even if you have your saddle fitter out every six months.
Regular Massage Reduces that Impact
Loosening your horse allows muscles to work properly so issues like crookedness or traveling on the forehand don’t become career-ending injuries.
No, you don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars a year to have your horse regularly massaged by a professional. Instead, find out how to massage your horse yourself for less than twenty bucks.
This video helps amateur horse owners like you massage your horse by walking you through the process step-by-step.
In less than an hour's time, you’ll know how to:
- Discover where your horse is sore
- Evaluate how your horse’s muscles are currently developed and what that means about your horse’s way of going
- Use your hands and body to massage your horse without injuring yourself
- Determine how much pressure to use on your horse for their comfort while still being effective (including how to get your horse to accept more pressure)
- Work the muscles in the right order to unlock tightness throughout your horse’s whole body
- Find out where to look if your horse has trouble picking up a lead
- Handle your horse safely while massaging
You may even see improvement in your horse’s way of going after a single massage session. It all depends on how much tightness and soreness your horse is experiencing.
My good friend Ray Morris developed this video on sporthorse massage to help horse owners improve the performance of their horses.
Ray started his career with horses as a saddler but changed his focus to saddle fitting in 1993 as he learned about equine biomechanics. He became interested in equine massage at about the same time.
It was obvious to him that the damage done to a horse by an ill-fitting saddle needed to be repaired in some way. Without repair, the horse would never get the full benefit of improved saddle fit. The best way to repair that damage, he felt, was with massage.

You’ll even be able to access the video on your phone so you can get it when you need it most – when you’re at the barn with your horse.
