Acupressure For Horses

A practical, hands-on guide for horse owners who want to better understand the connection between touch, the body, and overall wellbeing.

In Acupressure for Horses, veterinarian Dr. Ina Gösmeier introduces readers to equine acupressure through the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The book walks you through important acupressure points, energy pathways, and different constitutional “horse types,” with clear photographs showing where and how to work with each point.

It’s the kind of resource you can keep in the barn and return to again and again as you become more familiar with your horse’s body, responses, and individual patterns.

Inside, you’ll explore:

• Key acupressure points and where to find them
• The 12 principal energy channels
• Hands-on techniques designed to support comfort and wellbeing
• How different horses may respond differently to touch
• Dr. Gösmeier’s “Horse Types” evaluation system
• Full-color photographs and step-by-step guidance

I chose this book for the Willow’s Way shop because it encourages something I teach constantly: slow down, pay attention, and learn to notice what your horse is telling you through their body.
