==========================================

I have gotten professional massages for my horse and she seems
to really like it.  Does it make a big difference on an irregular basis, hard 
to tell.  However, I started massaging and stretching her her myself on a 
regular basis and I thought it made a difference.  There are books on both 
topic and some
books combine topics.

As for me, I have been concentrating on my dressage lately.  I 
have been having deep muscle massages for three weeks not and
let me tell you it has improved my riding easily over 50%.  I
can move my body in ways I haven't been able to in a long time.
I can move my body so I can turn my horse without reins.  Deep
muscle massage is not-repeat-not relaxing and can leave you a
little sore, but the results are worth it.  The problem can be
finding a good masseuse.  If you don't like one look for another.  So if it 
works for me (or you) I guess it works for 
the horse.
