Summary: Touching Horses
Review: A friend lent me her book to read when I got my new horse. I couldn't wait to order my own copy! This is a must have for any horse lover. At our stable we are very much into the care of our horses. This book is an easy to read guide to using acupressure massage to keep the horse happy and healthy in body and spirit. It also addresses specific treatments for ailments including lameness and colic. The author tells the story of how her own mare was saved from the pain and stress caused by a trailing accident. In fact, her mare Kate is freguently used as a model to illustrate the massage technigues and the meridans of the horse's body. I found the many photos and illustrations a great visual guide in practicing these techniques on my own horse. My horse and I highly recommend this book!
