Equine therapy

[smellsofhorse]

Ive put this here as i dont think the careers section gets many views!

Im interested in becoming an equine therapist.
Im not sure whether physio, chiropractor, massage, mixture.
I know they all require different specialized training after initial degree.
Also a body worker sound interesting too.

Where is the best place to start?
Equine science degree or equine performance?

Or something else?

I think if you want to become a horse therapist - osteopath, physio, etc, you have to become a human one first then train as a horse one first. Someone else will be able to inform you better than me though, this is from half remembered conversations with people who were working on my horse, not because I actually am one!

This used to be the case but not any more, you need and science degree then do the specialized course.
Im just not sure which course would be better suited!
