Testimonials

Hear what our students are saying about the programs!

I have begun to discover an even deeper connection with my horses and it is truly amazing.

Life changing. That sounds like I'm trying to be dramatic but it is the absolute truth! Your message of connection and energy with the horse instantly spoke to me and this program and journey have set me on a path that feels so meant to be.

A really nice blend of technical info and the creative "art" of performing equine bodywork!

Distance learning was incredible. I loved working at my own pace and having the ability to research topics in depth as I chose.

Very well laid out and thought out! Easy to understand and absorb the knowledge provided.

Every chapter is written with detail and love for the horses.

Very well laid out and thought out! Easy to understand and absorb the knowledge provided.

Great experience. This program helped give me a purpose and I love it!

I felt seen and supported. Challenged and encouraged. I feel expanded into many facets of the equine bodywork field and now have an idea of possibly where I want to continue delving deeper.
