Kathy And The Old Man

At last, The Fit Horse Companion is nearing completion.  Available this summer, the book is a neatly spiral - bound compilation of our three courses, including, Equine Fitness Training, Hydrotherapy, and Massage.  Every detail of monitoring heart rate during exercise, using ice and heat properly, and even massage techniques for the entire body are included in layman's terms.  It is a true Horse Barn Manual.  If you have a horse, work with horses, or even know a horse, you should have this book.  Keep watching.  It will be be available soon.

Knowledgable, Professional, Ethical

Our Certification Programs are detailed, supervised programs that have proven to produce Therapists that perform as professionally as students trained in an on site learning environment. The motivated student will have a clear understanding of all of the components of Massage Therapy required to perform individualized, professional treatments. In addition, the level of professionalism, including ethics and business practices will provide a great start up package!  We are proud of the superior format of our home study programs. Working full time with our students each step of the way is what keeps a student excited and willing to learn and practice as much as it takes to become qualified to call yourself a professional. Feel free to navigate our site and get to know us a little better before you make this important decision of who you will choose to study with.
