Acupressure for Horses by Ina Goesmeier will reveal the benefits of this therapy. Chapters include an explanation of what acupressure is and why is can be a less intense method of healing than acupuncture, the different channels of energy, horse types, acupressure points and correct application to lessen effects of unsettling events such as yard move, travelling or competing. -- Wendy Parsons * The Essex Rider *
