for several centuries. There are many forms of equine
massage, all providing numerous benefits.

range of motion and improve circulation in the horse.

HOMEOPATHY
FOR HORSES
 Homeopathy
is based on the use of refined dilutions of natural substances
such as Arnica
to trigger a healing response in the horse's body.
The basic principal of equine homeopathy is that
any substance that can cause a disease, can also be the principle
cure - "like cures like". Homeopathy can be used for
all types of conditions including Ringbone,
Bruised
Soles and Colic.
