I am an Equine Massage Therapist and I treat a wide range of horses. From eventers through to hunters.
The main benefits of massage include:
It improves circulation and general well-being.
Relieves muscle spasm and tension achieving relaxation.
Increases range of movement and suppleness.
Removes toxins in muscles.
Reduces chance of injury.
Enhances injury recovery.
Can be both calming and stimulating.
i hope this helps a little.

My friend is an EBW so I get my horses done by her.
It's not as invasive as physio/chiro and they don't manipulate. I think it's good in the same way a massage helps up; eases stiff muscles and increases blood flow. Plus all the benefits listed above
I guess each therapy has it's place but I find massage is good as a general thing but would get physio/McT-C if I had a specific problem (after checking with vet
)
I notice a difference after my horses have been massaged and they seem to enjoy it.
