Partial massage


As indicated by vet or chiropractor. Sometimes a chiropractor finds a particularly compromised area that needs followup care to keep the muscles sufficiently pliable. When muscles are spasm-free, they are freer to support the proper alignment of joints.

There also are post-surgical or injury cases where a horse is on stall rest. Massage greatly benefits these horses physically and mentally (with veterinary clearance), but it often excludes the injured areas, depending on your vet's recommendation.

Fee: $65/hour. Travel surcharge may apply.

About Me

Horse massage - equine massage serviceObi & me

Aside from fawning over Obi, there are few things I'd rather do than work on someone's horse and see a positive change in the animal's movement and disposition.

I've been doing equine massage therapy in Colorado for four years. Because I split my time between Boulder and Breckenridge, I work the northern Front Range as well as the I-70 mountains. Call me at 970-390-2157 and let's talk about your horse.
