Sheri Pederson,  Equine Massage and Bodywork


Welcome to On The Muscle! 
***Mention that you visited the website for a 10% discount on massages in Dec/Jan!!  Happy Holidays!!***


The term "on the muscle" is used in the horse business to describe a horse that's energetic, fit and ready to go!

My hope is that using equine body work and massage will help YOUR horse to be "on the muscle"!

Equine Body Work:
 

ü       Increases range of motion

ü       Improves stamina

ü       Improves disposition

ü       Provides comfort to muscle injuries

ü       Enhances performance and gait quality

ü       Improves circulation

ü       Reduces tactile defensiveness

ü       Accesses physical condition

ü       Provides ability to notice tissue changes at an earlier stage

 

 

Massage is used in conjunction with conventional and alternative health care as well as proper training techniques to enable the horse to perform at an optimum level.

 

Massage is NEVER a replacement

for proper veterinary care.

December 2009
Happy Holidays!  Winter came in with a bang it seems and now we need to manage ice, weight and warmth for the horses.  Make sure to check under that blanket frequently to ensure your horse hasn't been dropping weight in the cold. 
Keep an eye out for painful blanket rubs (think chafing on your own body - OW!) and crabby reactions to blanketing that may indicate the blanket is pulling on the chest.  Do gentle front leg stretches to help loosen up that area.  Remember that cooldown time is VERY important in winter and that your horse should be DRY before it goes back outside. 
Stay healthy and safe!!
