Massage/facial tools

[appendix100]

Anyone use massage/facial tools on their horses? Was looking at this one…
HorseWell Equine Massage Tool
seems pricey for a piece of plastic, but if it works…
I don’t know the the curves are any different than the facial tools on amazon…

What do you use & what are your favorites?
Also any that were a complete waste of $$ or the equvalent is somewhere else that cost less because it doesn’t have equi in front of it?

I use the Striphair sometimes as a massage tool and find it’s really helpful! I like that it’s versatile so I can change how firm it is based on how I hold it when I’m grooming or massaging with it. Yesterday I was getting licking, chewing, and yawning from the fascial release! My horse hates static so she’d probably kill me if I used a plastic massage tool.

AB Equine Therapy also has a massage tool that’s wooden and not $70 if you prefer that route as well.

I also used to use a very smooth rock that was flat and had rounded edges. I found it outside so it was free but it definitely helped! I don’t use it as much anymore since it was small and I tended to drop it a lot but was great for larger areas like the hindquarters.

I use a perfect prep grooming tool. My horses all love it and it’s great for shedding.

Lots of licking and chewing and one horse like to position himself so I get the perfect spot.
