How to massage a horse
Calm yourself and your horse.
This may not make sense at first but horses are very perceptive when it comes to human emotions. So a calm you equals a calm horse.

Options are: *If you feel agitated, wait to perform the massage at another time. Before you begin to brush your horse, gently rub under his eyes with your index and middle fingers in circular motions.; *Once this transition happens, you will get the most relaxed and calm horse. It might help to drink some milk, coffee or orange juice before you begin massaging him.; *Also, when riding your horse do your best to let the horse know you love it. Be gentle, tell the horse' it's going to be alright' and practice soothing techniques.; *Try to keep breathing in and out normally during your massage session to encourage stillness. Walk your horse for about 20 minutes.;
