After your session

Aftercare

You'll get advice for your own horse on the day. These are the general points that apply to most horses.

1
Fresh water
Make sure your horse has plenty of clean water. Massage gets the circulation going and they may drink more than usual.
2
An easy day
Light work or turnout is best for the rest of the day. Save hard schooling or jumping for later unless we've agreed otherwise.
3
Keep them warm
Rug up on cold days so the muscles don't tighten again straight after treatment.
4
Watch how they feel
Some horses are a little sleepy or stiff the next day. That should pass in a day or two. If anything worries you, get in touch.
5
Do the stretches
If I've shown you stretches or exercises, little and often works best between sessions.
