🐎 Treating The Whole Horse ™️
📚 Offering a full range of educational opportunities ⬇️

Remedial Equine Therapy offers Chiropractics/Osteopathy/Massage/Cranial Sacral/Laser Therapy/Acupuncture/Herbals/Homeopathics to our clients. Our horses are athletes as much as we are. When we have physical aches & pains in our bodies, we seek out therapists such as chiropractors, physio therapists and massage therapists. That option is now available for your equine athlete from a practitioner who

has the experience and education to look after your horse from head to toe! Shantel Perreal's resume can be found at www.canadianequinetherapyinstitude.com for a full list of her qualifications. Is your horse having problems with:
Picking up leads
Head shaking
Lameness
Behaviour Problems
Bucking
Kicking
Biting
I work closely with all vets, and farriers! Also look at the saddle fit, and your balance.

“Equine Osteopathy is a combination of spinal and extremity joint manipulation, visceral (organ) manipulation and cranio-sacral therapy. The fundamental philosophy of osteopathy is that for the body to be truly healthy and vital, every tissue in the body must have proper mobility, thus affecting flow of blood, lymph and nerve impulses. Osteopathy treats the whole body.”
Osteopaths use a broad range of gentle hands-on techniques including soft tissue stretching, deep tactile pressure, and mobilization or manipulation of joints. We do not use any mallets or hammers. I have spent years Studying the Equine Anatomy and I will always be a student! I am not someone that just took a 4 day course and call myself certified! I also have been a human Therapist for over 15yrs. Rehabilitation and physiotherapy for humans was a big part of my life for many years and still will be on the teaching side of things. I travel all over Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, Ont, Yukon

🛠 Tool Tip – “Let the Fascia Lead”
When using Equi-Neural Fascia Therapy tools, remember: you’re not forcing a release — you’re following one.

The fascia will respond to gentle, sustained pressure far better than aggressive force.
⚡ Too much pressure can trigger defensive muscle guarding and stall the release.

✅ Instead:

Anchor lightly on the tissue
Wait for the subtle melt or “softening”
Follow the tissue’s natural direction of movement
Let the horse guide the pace

💡 Patience is the most powerful tool in your kit.

Equi-Neural Fascia Therapy Tools — More Than Just Equipment

These aren’t ordinary tools.
They’re precision-designed for advanced equine bodywork — created specifically for releasing deep fascial restrictions and supporting nervous system function.

⚠ Because of their specialized nature, these tools are NOT available for purchase to the general public.
Why?
Because without the correct knowledge and hands-on experience, they can cause harm instead of healing.

That’s why we include them FREE for every student who enrolls in our Equi-Neural Fascia Therapy Course.
In the course, you’ll learn exactly how to use them safely, effectively, and ethically — so every release benefits the horse.

💡 It’s not about owning the tools — it’s about having the skill to use them with purpose and confidence.

🐎✨ Enroll today in the Equi-Neural Fascia Therapy Course. Gain the knowledge, earn the confidence, and receive your professional-grade tools — on us.

The Art of Palpation

In equine therapy, the hands are more than tools — they’re our connection to the horse’s story.
Through careful palpation, we can feel tension patterns, subtle changes in muscle tone, fluid movement, or areas of restriction that the eye can’t always see.

This is where anatomy knowledge meets touch intelligence.
It’s a skill that takes patience, practice, and presence — listening with your fingertips to what the horse’s body is quietly telling you.

💡 Every pass of the hand builds communication, trust, and insight — laying the foundation for effective, targeted therapy.

✨ Develop the sensitivity and confidence to truly “read” the equine body. Learn the techniques that turn observation into action and action into results.

Behind the Scene: Where Learning Gets Real

In the classroom, we study the diagrams.
In the field, we work with living horses.
But here — in the lab — we bridge the gap between theory and reality.

Our dissection sessions give students a rare and invaluable opportunity to see exactly how the structures they’ve read about actually look, feel, and connect. Muscles, fascia, nerves, and vessels are no longer just names in a textbook — they become real, tangible pathways of function and movement.

This hands-on experience deepens understanding in a way nothing else can.
It sharpens observation skills.
It gives future therapists the precision to locate structures accurately and the sensitivity to work with them effectively in live horses.

💡 It’s not just anatomy — it’s the foundation of skilled, ethical, and informed equine therapy practice.

Join us on this journey of discovery. Gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to transform the way you see — and treat — the equine body.

They say you can tell everything you need to know about a horse… just by looking in their eyes.

I remember working with a gelding once whose owner swore he was just “grumpy” and stubborn. But the moment I met him, his eyes told me something else entirely — a deep tension, a guardedness that wasn’t aggression, but a quiet plea for understanding.

Over the next few sessions, we slowed everything down. No force, no pressure — just presence. I listened to his breathing, watched the flicker of his eyelids, noticed when the tension in his face softened. One day, he finally exhaled, and his eye — once tight and wary — turned warm, soft, and trusting.

That’s the thing about horses:
They may not speak in words, but their eyes… they tell the truth about pain, peace, trust, and fear.

💡 When we learn to read them, we build a partnership where communication runs deeper than commands — and connection becomes effortless.

🐎✨ Discover the hidden language of your horse. Learn to read what words can’t say — because the eye never lies.

✨ Real Results from Real Bodywork ✨

Every photo tells a story of change:
🐎 Image 1 – A once-dipped topline is now strong and lifted, shoulders free to move, and the whole back connected and balanced.
🐎 Image 2 – From tight and hollow to rounded and relaxed, the loin and sacral areas now show healthy muscle fill and softness.
🐎 Image 3 – Shoulder tension released, topline smooth and even, and the connection from neck to back restored.
🐎 Image 4 – A lean, tight frame transformed into a fuller, more symmetrical body with stronger glutes and a relaxed back.

These changes aren’t just cosmetic—they mean better movement, comfort, and long-term soundness. Skilled hands + targeted techniques = visible, lasting transformation.
