Equine Massage Courses- any ideas

[trickivicki]

Hi All,

Talking to Mum and Dad today and they are keen for me to learn some kind of equine massage/ therapy type thing for Pj (not to set up a business!).

Does anyone have any ideas of where would do such a thing (to be done in a short intense course or distance/ part time learning as I work full time).

It may be worth speaking to your chiro and asking them for massage techniques that will benefit him, so they can be tailored to his needs. That's what I did

Wow Oberon, fantastic post!

You seem to know alot about the subject (it is a lot of information for me to take in at once)- which course would you recommend? (the equine touch one seems interesting) and do you know if any of the courses are Midlands based?

I'm not going to be able to find the perfect course for you on your doorstep

.

But feel comforted that travelling the length and breadth of the UK is much less than the Yanks have to travel

Just pick whichever courses suit you best. They are all the ones I could find that worked with a full time job.

The Equinenergy ones are really good.

I did the Equine Touch a few years back and can recommend. Emma Knowles is Midlands based .www.equinetouchhorseandrider.co.uk/
