Beating Muscle Injuries for Horses

By Jack Meagher · Hamilton Horse Associates · 1985

A rare, foundational guide to equine muscle therapy built around 25 specific stress points — the exact locations where tension accumulates and performance breaks down. For each stress point, Meagher shows you where it is, what problem it causes, and how to treat it with direct pressure and cross-fiber friction. Includes detailed muscle anatomy diagrams throughout.

An active stress point in the Posterior Pectoral muscle under the chest is the most common cause of shortened extension and refusing leads. Knowing where it is and how to treat it is worth the price of the book alone.

Very rare — we believe we are one of the only sources with copies currently available.
