Hi, I'm an Equine Massage Therapist and there are lots of wonderful books on the subject. I would advise learning from a pro if you can, massage can also damage the muscles if it is done incorrectly. I would recommend brushing up on your anatomy and physiology as well, this is a great book to get you started :) https://www.amazon.ca/Equine-Massage-Practical-Jean-Pierre-Hourdebaigt/dp/0470073381
