How would I get qualified in Equine massage ?

[Horse_madness100]

Hi all.
I am looking into becoming an equine sports massage therapist. Just wondering how would be the best way to get qualified? I cant go to uni so are the online courses with study weeks at a college worth doing? I work full time with horses and currently working through my BHS stages.
Thanks in advance x

There is an association for equine massage therapists and their training requirements are here http://www.equinemassageassociation.co.uk/training/ There is an equivalent accredited course here http://www.tcap.co.uk/courses/equine.aspx

The thing with something like equine massage it isn't really possible to learn from an on line course. You need to actually put your hands on a horse. You don't have to go to uni full time - both of the above fit around full time work. But you do need practical experience.
