Horse Care- Massage VS Chiropractor VS Accupunture?

[MacKenzie G]

i comptete in a lot of gymkhana competitions w/ my older horse. at my last show i noted he had a very hard time bending to his right. so bad at times he couldnt at all (almost like it was cramping) i had someone at the show look at it and they thought it was a muscle knot. so i have been massaging it a bit. but i would like to know how you maintain your game horses muscles and what method is most benificial chiro work, massage therapy or accupunture. thank you

i would go with doing in saddle exercises. Work o n disengaging the hindquarters side passes, SLOW work. Bending around barrels... not just circling but moving the hip out. And focus even more on the right side. Massage Therapy and accupuncture are just a waste of money
