subject: Special Spa Treatment for Your Horse - What a Good Reward! [print this page]


Every once in a while you may feel that you haven't been giving your horse just everything she deserves. She does a lot for you, regardless of whether you just ride her around the ranch or compete with her in an equestrian event. If only there were a way that you could show her how much you appreciate her, if only you could thank her properly. Well, why not give her the ultimate in luxury: the spa treatment!Keeping a horse is an expensive job and there is simply no way around it. Bringing in a expert in horse pampering will only be another (and sizable) expense. But fortunately, with a little work, any luxury your horse might experience at the hands of another can be achieved by you, with a significant drop in cost.The first step is to visit the feed store or online to get the best horse shampoo your money can get. It will be expensive, nevertheless, I'm sure your horse deserves it. When you are there, take some time to find some quality feed as well.Start off by giving your horse a good comfortable bath. Obviously, not all horses love to be bathed. If your horse is one of those, patience is key, take your time and make her as comfortable as you possibly can. Using the softest hand and the kindest words, your horse will likely calm down and begin to enjoy the bath.You can also consider engaging someone who is experienced in giving horses massages. It you do not know anyone with such expertise, you can consider checking in with your veterinarian. Failing that, you can find many excellent books on the subject. Getting an equine chiropractor is a good enough replacement. In either case, your horse will finish the day feeling better and more limber than she has likely felt in a long time.Bring up her food when the session ends and maybe add a treat as well. You can also let your horse out to graze and run around to experience the rewards of that massage or chiropractic session. Hopefully, she can feel much younger.If your horse is used in any sort of competition, the spa treatment may be the perfect reward for a job well done. Regardless of the event result, you should remember that your horse is always working hard for you and definitely deserves a reward every now and then. The spa treatment can become a regular luxury if your pocket book will allow it, but remember that such things as massage and chiropractic adjustment are not permanent.If you continue to ride your horse, the same muscles will likely knot up or the same joints will again drop out of alignment. One of the best things that you can do for your horse is to pick up the skills of massaging for her. Your horse will no doubt thank you for all the rewards.
