A: We suggest, unless otherwise directed by your veterinarian, walk/trotting your horse to warm up the muscles and encourage circulation.  We do not suggest riding the horse to the point of swetaing or heavy breathing.  After the massage, it is best to wait until the following day to continue your training.  Hand walking your horse for 10+ minutes after the massage is strongly recommended as this will help flush out the toxins released from the massage.  Muscles can become sore, as people who have recieved massage can attest, so make sure your horse has plenty of access to water and if the weather is cold a blanket may be put on.
