"When you are working on the horse's abdomen, open the area by patting gently with your cupped hand, go only as far as the umbilical region. And you want to be just either side of the horse's mid line. Again you don't want to be applying a whole lot of pressure, you don't want to be using a close fist. The horse isn't going to find that to be comfortable. After you've done it back and forth light and moderate pressure, then you can stop and use the scooping technique up and down, from front to back, light, moderate and heavy pressure, switching hands if you need to if your arms get tired. And again closing by patting gently with your cupped hand."
