A chiropracter showed me the little indentation behind their ear and said
pressure there would release endorphins. I've never tried it since I
always figure my horse's pulse is up because his temperature is up,
because he's pumping blood to the surface to cool it.  I'd rather have a
sponge in both hands helping him get cooled off.  Keep thinking I'll try
it when the farrier's here but I forget to.
