Does Zara Philips have a degree in Physiotherapy specalising in Equine?

Curious, never heard of it, is it common knowledge if true?

She did the Mary Bromily equine massage course. I think to do that you have to be qualified in human sports massage but not sure that you have to have a degree in physio.

As oldvic says, she has an ITEC diploma in Equine Sports Massage for which she would have needed a qualification in human massage.
She used to be listed on the ESMA website as a practitioner but can't see her on there anymore and never saw her at any CPD meetings so maybe her registration has lapsed.

QR How weird - only today I was just reading last months Your Horse Interview with her and it says in the answer to the question "what would you do if you didn't event" (or summit like that

) she said she'd wanted to do physiotherapy at Uni but her grades weren't good enough. She started doing equine massage training but the eventing career took over and she didn't finish the training.

I was told she finished the course and was very good but now no longer has time to carry on with it.
