I just finished your advanced level course & in the process of rewatching it all. First off, THANK YOU! This was amazing & very informative! I have taken several k-tape courses & yours is the absolute best. Truly, the way you evaluate the horse's body & utilize the tape is thought provoking. It has me reevaluating by previous tapings & think through exactly what is needed for each horse. Not just a recipe that is meant to be copied universally."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is kinesiology tape? Kinesiology tape is a stretchy athletic tape that sticks directly to the skin on people and the hair on animals which causes a decompression effect of the skin resulting in increased blood flow, pain reduction and more.
What exactly will I be certified in and who is the certification by? You will be certified by Angel's Animals -Holistic Seminars as a Certified Equine Kinesiology Tape Practitioner. This certificate indicates that you are proficient in the techniques taught in the course which were developed by Dr. Angelique Barbara.
Do I have to be an Equine Professional to become certified? Yes, you must be an Equine Massage Therapist, horse trainer, Veterinarian, Chiropractor, Equine Dentist, Veterinary Technician or Farrier. If you are in a horse related profession that was not mentioned, you can e-mail Dr. Barbara to see if you are qualified.
Is this taping technique affiliated with a specific brand of tape? No, Dr. Barbara recommends the brand RockTape because she has had the most success with it, but her techniques are in no way affiliated with the RockTape brand and any brand of tape can be used to perform the applications.
Does kinesiology tape replace other forms of body work? No, kinesiology tape works best when used in conjunction with other forms of body work such as massage and/or chiropractic.
Does the horse have to be shaved or can you tape over their hair? You can tape directly over the horse's coat. If the horse has a very long coat, some clipping may be necessary, but the tape normally does well on short- medium length hair.
How does the tape work if it's on the animal's hair rather than their skin? The tape lifts the hair, which lifts the skin, creating the same decompression effect seen in people wearing kinesiology tape.
Can a horse be ridden while wearing the tape? Yes, all the tape applications besides the meridian tapings can be worn during exercise.
Can a horse compete with the tape on? Yes and No. There are some competitions that will allow it and others will not. Advise the owner to check ahead of time before the competition.
Is the tape waterproof? Yes. It can be worn during a bath or while swimming.
Does Kinesiology Tape actually work on horses? Yes, we have many clinical studies demonstrating the effectiveness of kinesiology tape on horses. Here is a link to a peer reviewed study published in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science.
