🐴 One day massage workshop for horse owners 🐴

Location: Kildare
Date: 22nd February 2025

These practical, very hands on and excellent value for money 1 day clinics are designed for all horse owners who want to provide the best care for their horses and discover a new equestrian skill at the same time. By learning Equi-eds unique combination of massage techniques and stretching you will be able to undertake a full massage on your horse. The techniques can be performed pre competition, post competition, to help muscle injuries and as a general maintenance massage. By working through the physical and psychological aspects of the horse you will discover that massage not only improves performance, wellbeing and helps prevent injury but when an owner learns to massage their own horse it embraces a deeper trust and bonding in the partnership bringing a remarkable experience for both.

🐴 Advanced Practitioner in Equine Integrated Support Therapies 🐴

Applications are now open for our next course starting the 26th February 2025.
Location: Online & Onsite (Kildare)

Blended learning, with online zoom lectures, practical days and distance learning.
If you aspire to become a top-notch Equine Massage Therapist and seek an institution that offers superior training, materials, and support, look no further than this course!
It is imperative to recognize that some schools offer brief courses in Equine Massage at a low cost. However, such programs cannot provide the essential knowledge, skills, experience, or competence levels required of a Professional Therapist. As a result, our collaborating veterinarians do not acknowledge such qualifications, and we do not condone such training practices.
Equi-ed and EMA take pride in producing highly qualified therapists to meet the rising demand for superior quality, compassionate professionals in the equine complementary healthcare sector. We've developed a fully integrated career qualification that provides exceptionally high standards of training at competitive rates to prepare therapists for a successful career in Equine Massage Therapy and Rehabilitation. Furthermore, we offer various continuing professional development (CPD) training days in related therapies, including both complementary and alternative methods, which are popular among our graduates and enhance their Massage Therapy skills.
By training to become a Massage Therapist, you'll have a competitive advantage when applying for jobs, even if you pursue another equine-related career. Employers value team members who can multitask within their team of horse professionals.

31/12/2024

As we close the chapter on 2024, it's important to recognize the key moments and people who helped us reach our educational goals and set the stage for an even more remarkable 2025. This year has been a journey of growth and transformation, driven by breakthroughs in learning and the dedication of countless individuals.

From innovations in educational technology that made learning more personalized and accessible, to the rise of remote learning platforms, 2024 has seen education evolve in exciting new directions. The collaboration between educators, students, and innovators has created more inclusive and dynamic learning environments.

We also owe much to the inspiring individuals who made this progress possible — from visionary researchers and passionate educators to students who challenged the status quo. Their dedication serves as a reminder of education's power to shape our futures and drive global change.

Collaboration has always been at the heart of what we do, and we are so grateful for the incredible changemakers who push boundaries, ask important questions, and inspire us to keep striving for better.

A special thank you to Becks Nairn, whose unwavering commitment to promoting welfare has been a guiding light. You continue to inspire and encourage everyone involved with horses—whether professionally or as owners—to keep questioning and, most importantly, to keep championing the horse.

To John Sharkey, who has been not only an exceptional tutor but also a true friend. Your remarkable mind and generosity in sharing your wisdom have been invaluable to us. Thank you for guiding us with such thoughtfulness and insight.

To the team at Equitas, thank you for including us in your amazing event and for the tireless, often thankless, work you do to empower women and create meaningful change. The difference you make is immeasurable.

Our sponsored riders, you make us incredibly proud every day. Your dedication, passion, and drive continue to inspire us all. Thank you for representing us and for all the hard work you put in, both on and off the field.

Yogi sharp thank you for trusting us with your introduction to Ireland. We are excited to work with you in 2025.

Equine Tendon has provided incredible support throughout the year, always open to discussions and offering valuable advice. We are excited for 2025 and look forward to continuing our collaboration, growing together, and further developing educational opportunities with your support.

And finally, to everyone who has been part of this journey—thank you.

Looking ahead to 2025, we carry forward the lessons and successes of this year, ready to push further, break new boundaries, and continue shaping the future of learning. The groundwork has been laid for an extraordinary year ahead. Wishing you all health, happiness and continued success.

Happy new year!
