Riding your horse after Massage

How soon after a massage can I ride my horses?

.

My general rule for this question is 2-3 days after. You want your horse muscles to relax, stretch & essentially drink lots of water to get rid of all the lactic acid I broke up from their massage.

.

You try & go right back to lifting heavy weights right after a massage & let me know how that goes. If you want to do right by your horse, treat them how you would treat yourself.
