Dolly, why she’s Lucky!
As I touched the mare for her third massage she leaned into my hands. I haven’t even started and Dolly was all ready asking for a massage. That day was going to be a unique day. As her neck and hind quarter muscles were tight that was my main focus. Dolly was feeling in good spirits and we did a lot of moving around. As I worked away on the neck muscles she started chewing, licking her lips and leaning more into my hands. Soon it felt like I was supporting that old mare! My, she was really getting into the softening of muscles!
I spent a great deal of time digging deep into Dolly’s neck muscles before moving on, to work on her hind quarters. There was one muscle that concerned me, the one under her tail and inside the leg. It was tight on both sides and I was determined to loosen them up. It took some time, technique variations and patience but I manage to soften them. Still not satisfied with the neck muscles I returned to working on them. Dolly, to my pleasant surprise, kept turning her head and nuzzling me with her nose. It felt as if she was both observing me and thanking me for the ease of tightened muscles. Soon I was done and feeling happy and seeing Dolly turn her head to where her nose could touch her shoulder on her own gave me the satisfaction for that session.
I will now work on Dolly once a month to maintain the softness in her muscles. I am sure looking forward to working with her again. She is so sweet and understanding. I know that she loves receiving her massage! |
