Basics of Equine Massage Therapy Workshop

"The course was very informative, easy to follow, and the instructor was fabulous. The school is beautiful and makes for a very fun course."

This course utilizes both theory-based knowledge training and hands-on massage for your horse. Some prior knowledge of equine anatomy will assist learners to gain the maximum knowledge and benefit from this course; however, it is not required. This course will give horse owners the ability to:

Better understand what the body language of your horse is telling you about their comfort level.
Recognize muscle soreness or dysfunction.
Provide comfort for sore/stiff muscles and related soft tissue stress.
Improve the ability of your horse to return to work sooner after injury or exertion.
Recognize when it is time to contact your equine health professional.
