Benefits of shiatsu on horse - opinions please

yesyesyesyes
i've had it done on all four of mine - they've all beinifited
my welsh x was really stiff never swung her tail after one shiatsu shes now freely swinging her hips and a lot more supple!
my big boy is no longer tense and a lot less stressful
the new girl is going to have some to even out her muscular system as we've had such good results with the other two

i've even had it done and can honestly say worth every single penny.
 
Pony - eventing at BE90 and novice BD, always getting comments re tight over back. Since Shiatsu he had gone from being in top 20 after dressage to top 10 and is improving all the time. He is now done every 6 weeks and will have an extra session if we are very busy with him or we think there is a problem. If your name has anything to do with your location you are in a similar area to me so are possibly considering the person I use! (and BB as she is in a similar location to me!)
 
ooh, anyone know anyone that's any good at doing this in the east sussex/ west Kent area, that they could recommend?
 
I'm a convert, my lovely shiatsu lady came as a last resort. She's helped my very tense mare no end, with the added benefit (for the first time in six years) of being hayfever-free. She's a miracle worker as far as I'm concerned. I'm in Northants if you want her number.
 
I practice equine shiatsu and you can do it on a ticklish horse. Typically you use a firmer pressure, but you basically work with each horse, even to the extent that you might almost scratch them rather than massage, but if you are getting pressure into the areas you want and are getting the reaction you are after that is what matters, after all, shiatsu translated means finger pressure. You can get the most incredible neck stretches etc with what is affectionately termed 'scatchu'.

Most practitioners can be found on the website for equine shiatsu's governing body - the equine shiatsu association.
