Trade ReviewIt's fascinating stuff — and if Ingrid Klimke (who wrote the foreword) and the German team get results with Traditional Chinese Medicine, then I think I'll be giving it a try with my horse.
Acupressure for Horses by Ina Gösmeier 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 *
