Massage For Horses
(Durham-WTNH, Sept. 19, 2005 9:20 PM) _ Whether it's a back rub or a foot massage just about
everyone loves to soothe stress away with a good massage.

That therapy even works wonders on horses.
"He is loving this right now.."
6-year-old Beamer is getting pampered.
Owner, Suzanne Mancheski has been getting the Thoroughbred Quarter Horse Cross in shape.
"He's been doing more jumping probably in the last 6 months than he's ever done in his life, so it
is really stressful for him," says Mancheski.
The stress is affecting Beamer.
"If we started jumping especially he would just, it was like he lost his mind. Like you could tell
something was hurting somewhere," says Mancheski.
He's feeing it deep... in his muscles.
"It's a pressure point that I'm releasing," says Wendy Rivers, Connecticut Equine Massage.
Therapist Wendy Rivers is taking a holistic approach so that Beamer is not as tight and sore.
"I'm just putting pressure on it to relieve the tension in it. We start with a light pressure and we
release and we go to a moderate pressure."
Equine massage therapy began in the 1970's.
Halide Caine, Connecticut Equine Massage, says,"A few very astute horse trainers at race tracks
asked some human massage therapists 'could you apply the same techniques to my horse to see
if we can't get them into the money' and sure enough it did work out."
Beamer is doing very well. He is being very patient and you can tell he really likes it because his
head is hanging, his eyes are getting heavy and he's chewing and licking.
All the positive response signs that Beamer is now relaxed and loose.
After an hour of therapy he's in the mood to prance.
The cost of the equine therapy is $65 dollars a visit.
