Is Animal Massage Legal in Your State?
I have an 11 year old mare that came back to me 4 years ago. She was finished as a reined cow horse, when she came back she would have issues with spins and slide stops. Occasionally, she would be lame on the right hind. After multiples vet exams, nothing was noted to be wrong. After starting your equine massage program, I started working on her. She was extremely tight on the right side. She could only tolerate massages for about 10 mins at a time and it wasn’t till after she injured herself in the pasture that I was able to pinpoint the problem with her hindquarters. I found several deep adhesions in right biceps femoris. After several massage sessions over a month, the adhesions are almost gone and she is finally relaxing under saddle again. She is willing to sit to slide again and she has started to spin without tail swishing! It’s a slow process that we are still working on but the techniques I have learned with your program has been so helpful to get my mare back."

Testimonials:
Tessa is an amazing TA, her dedication to her students is so evident in her willingness to help and answer questions, work around international time differences and most of all, the feedback I received for every assignment was not only practical and constructive but so detailed and well constructed. I truly felt that the 100% effort I put into presenting the assignment were met with 100% effort in marking/assessment.
I’m looking forward to completing the additional two courses I am enrolled in. And would like to thank everyone at Holistic Animal Studies for producing and facilitation such excellent learning material. Thank you for the tools I now have, and the solid foundation upon which to start my Equine Therapy journey
Kind Regards

I truly enjoyed it and I’ve been getting great results in my work with the horses. It was well organized and easy to use. The instruction was clear and easily accessed.
