Alternative therapies for horses, like alternative therapies for humans, have been around for centuries, long before conventional medicines were ever used. Many of them are available to horses living in the wild, like aromatherapy, natural herbs, and hydrotherapy, yet the environments we keep our domestic horses in are usually void of the space and variation that a wild horse could enjoy. Other natural therapies, like acupuncture, acupressure, and kinesiology, were applied to horses as humans developed a relationship with them through domestication.
