Acupressure for Horses: 9 Points You Can Actually Start Using

There are hundreds of acupressure points in Traditional Chinese Medicine. That’s exactly why most riders never get started — where do you even begin?

Equine acupressure practitioner Sophia Barth picks nine. She groups them into three areas — emotional balance, inner balance, and muscular balance — and shows you how to work with each one on your own horse.

You don’t need any prior knowledge, any equipment, or any extra time in your week. A session takes a few minutes and fits right into the time you already spend with your horse.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Acupressure and TCM basics, explained in plain language
• The technique itself: how to find a point, how much pressure to use, how long to hold it, and how to read your horse’s response
• 3 points traditionally used for calm, focus, and emotional balance
• 3 points traditionally used to support digestion, metabolism, and general well-being
• 3 points traditionally used for relaxation, suppleness, and freedom of movement
• Bonus: a short mindfulness exercise for a more present connection with your horse

For all horse owners and riders who want to gently support their horse and learn about the benefits of acupressure.

Acupressure complements veterinary care — it doesn’t replace it.
