How long are appointments and whats the cost per massage? £30 for half an hour

When / Why would you have someone massage your horse? Mine all have a check-up every six months anyway, but I would get her out before the check-up was due if any of them had an accident or if I thought they were in pain.

40 quid for as long as they need mctimoney and massage every 5 or 6 months unless something crops up sooner. A little less if they are all done at once. There's massive difference afterward and she's fab. Not about the money at all. Has shown me how to do a daily massage as beau's back has not been good.
