Equine Physiotherapy: assess & release tight areas
Hi Guys! Today we had an Equine Therapy session with our horses. Briony will show us how to assess physical state of a horse and how to release tight muscles. She is an extremely competent and qualified expert and will be treating Gustav today, our 5 year old gelding.

Physiotherapy is important for horses that are working and competing at a high level. Not to forget - they are athletes too. Make sure either to book your horse a session with a physiotherapist or try and master some of the techniques yourself ;)
