Extreme Veteran Posts: 540 Location: My own little world :)	Has anyone become certified through Equissage? Or have you had someone work on your horses that has? I am interested in the program and would like to gain any information I can so that I can decide if I want to do it or not. Also, would you as a horse owner be interested in having someone massage your horses? Is it a fairly effective modality/therapy?

Elite Veteran Posts: 865	I went to VA and the Equissage program several years ago. It was a pretty good class and I learned a lot. If you are thinking of doing it for your personal knowledge and horses it's great. For a career it's tough I think. Not too many people will pay for massage now that there are so many other tools on the market. I had a bioscan at the time and offered bioscan treatments with a massage and that was fairly popular.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 407	I did this several years ago. Mainly just for my own horses. It really works. I see the difference in all the horses I do. I won't get rich doing it but it is a good thing to know and the Equissage program is probably the best. You could make some money if you really pushed hard. I just didn't because I have a full time job but I do some at horse shows and locally. It is enough for entry fees and some extra.

Location: WI	Not trying to steal your thread, but curious if anyone has done just the online portion or if you went to VA to the classes in person through Equissage. I have looked into this place also but with my current work schedule and time I am not able to make it out a week for the course. I am curious if you learn as much and can learn it well through the online courses? It is such a hands on type of job I fear i wouldn't benefit as much. I would love to become certified in equine massage regardless, mostly for my own horses benefit.

I was curious about the home study plan too actually too because I can't really leave that long.

I tried hard to make it, but couldn't. It's a shame because the results are instantaneous and awesome. Get the muscles healthy and you don't need chiro anymore.
