Kinetic Equine Massage was founded with the belief that every horse can benefit from massage. Just like their riders, horses have muscles that can become sore and tired from overuse, incorrect movement and injury. We know that massage is not a cure all, but we are sure that it will make a positive difference for the horse. We are located in Western North Carolina and are serving the surrounding areas. Our therapist is certified through Equissage in Equine Sports Massage Therapy. Don’t let the word “sport” fool you; massage is for every horse.

If your horse is a top performer in their sport, retired, or a pasture companion, massage is for them. Every horse is still made of the same number of muscles, and each one has a specific need. Muscles make up 45% of their body weight, meaning that there is a lot of room for soreness. Massage is here to help relieve that soreness and allow the horse to move pain-free. That’s where we come in. We are here to help your horses live better, healthier lives.
