Tallgrass Equine Acupressure DVDs & Charts

Have you ever wondered what acupressure is and how to do the treatment on your own horse? These two DVD’s make acupressure easy. You don’t need any special tools to perform the techniques shown on the DVDs but if you have a red light photonic torch these are the perfect accompaniment to your torch.

Put together by Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute in USA, both these DVDs are quality productions and easy to follow, even if you have very limited knowledge of this therapy, but those with some experience will find the second DVD very valuable.
