Learn to assess before you massage
Massage starts long before the first technique. Learn how to observe your horse, palpate different areas of the body, recognize changes in muscle tone and tissue feel, compare one side of the body to the other, and identify common signs of tension or dysfunction. You’ll also learn the important red flags that tell you when massage may not be appropriate and when your horse should be assessed by a veterinarian or qualified professional.
Build a hands-on toolbox you can actually use
Learn practical massage techniques for the major areas of your horse’s body, along with gentle owner-friendly myofascial techniques, lymphatic massage and a quick five-minute pre-ride warm-up sequence. Rather than memorizing one routine for every horse, you’ll learn how to choose techniques based on what your horse is showing you.
Follow along with demonstrations and printable guides
This course combines easy-to-understand educational lessons with hands-on video demonstrations so you can see exactly how the techniques are performed. You’ll also receive simplified step-by-step printable guides that you can bring to the barn and follow while you work with your horse. With lifetime course access, you can return to the material whenever you need a refresher.
About the course and a unique way to earn real money when you share!
Equine Massage for Horse Owners was created for owners who want to become more hands-on and confident in supporting their horse between professional appointments. Massage is one of the most practical skills a horse owner can learn because it gives you an opportunity to regularly put your hands on your horse, become familiar with what feels normal for them, and start recognizing when something begins to feel different. This course goes beyond simply showing you a handful of massage strokes. You’ll learn how to assess your horse before you begin, recognize common signs of muscular tension and dysfunction, understand basic equine anatomy, and identify situations where massage may be appropriate versus when your horse needs professional assessment. From there, we’ll get hands-on. You’ll learn practical massage techniques for different areas of the body, gentle owner-friendly myofascial techniques, lymphatic massage, and a quick five-minute pre-ride warm-up massage that can easily become part of your regular riding routine. We’ll also look at how different findings in the body may point toward the need for other types of support, helping you better understand when massage is useful and when another member of your horse’s care team may need to become involved. The goal isn’t to turn horse owners into professional massage therapists or replace qualified bodyworkers, veterinarians or other equine professionals. Instead, it’s to give you a safe, practical set of skills that you can use with your own horse, while helping you become more observant and knowledgeable about their body. The course combines educational lessons with hands-on video demonstrations so you can first understand what you’re doing and then see exactly how each technique is performed. You’ll also receive simplified printable step-by-step guides that you can take directly to the barn and follow while you practice. And because this is something many horse owners naturally want to share with their friends and barnmates, there’s another unique opportunity built into this program. Once the course is fully released at its regular price, students will have the opportunity to join the Equine Massage for Horse Owners affiliate program. You’ll receive your own unique affiliate link or code that you can share with other horse owners. When someone enrolls through your link, you’ll earn a 20% commission on the course sale. At the regular course price of $350 CAD, that works out to $70 CAD for each enrollment you refer. There’s no requirement to participate, but for students who love the course and naturally find themselves recommending it to friends, barnmates or other horse owners, it gives you the opportunity to earn something back for sharing a program you already use. You’ll also receive lifetime access, allowing you to revisit the educational material, massage sequences and demonstrations whenever you need them.
