Alternative therapies can make a big difference in not only our health, but the health of our horses. Here are five alternative therapies that might improve your horse’s health.
1. Acupuncture
Equine acupuncturists are cropping up across the world, and they specialize in using the ancient art of acupuncture to help your horse feel better. Thin, tiny needles are inserted into specific points on your horse’s body, and this practice is believed to provide pain relief, digestive rebalancing, and increased overall health. Don’t worry, the needles don’t hurt your horse – if you’ve ever had acupuncture performed on yourself, you’ll know that you can hardly feel the needles at all.
