When will it be relevant to get a masseuse out for your horse? If you find that your horse is limited in its movement, seems stiff in its joints, reluctant or hesitant to ride, if it seems restless, has muscle tension, cramps or generally seems stiff, tired or exhibits behavioral problems, as these may be based on pain in any tensions. Is there anything I should take into account when my horse gets a massage? As the massage stimulates the horse's system and thus the excretion of waste substances also for some time after the end of the massage, we always recommend that the horse take 1-2 days off after it has had a massage.
