Equine Courses

"I aim to to help people have the relationship with their horses that they dream of."

Emma

Massage

Massage is an amazing thing, it can help keep your horse comfortable, improve bond between you and your horse, help to prepare for exercise and so much more. In these courses we will look into anatomy, assess your horse, learn massage techniques and programs for different situations, such as pre and post ride massage regime, between physio sessions and competitions.

Disclaimer: This is a course for owners to learn massage for their own horse, not to be a qualified physio or massage therapist.

Stage 1 will aim to give you a foundation of knowledge of anatomy and massage techniques that you can take home and use straight away with your horse to help them keep supple and catch discomfort before it gets severe and need expert help.

Stage 2 is all about fascia! It is such an important organ in your horses body and this course was requested probably because I keep talking about it! If you don't know what it is, you will do at the end of this course!
