It’s not just a job, it’s a passion for YOUR horse ❤️
Please don't quibble over your equine therapists fee. You are paying for much more than their time on the day. If you want the best therapist for your horse then please take a moment to understand what makes a great practitioner.
A great practitioner lives and breathes equine therapy. The day they pick up their first anatomy book they get this thirst for knowledge which can never really be quenched. The more information they drink in, the more thirsty they become. A great practitioner is a lifelong learner and they never stop thinking about it.
When you hand your money over to your therapist, you are not paying them for the hour they have just spent with your horse. You are acknowledging the hours and hours of time that they spend, reading, researching, listening, watching, travelling to conferences, talking to peers and specialists, thinking and dreaming about everything related to their area of expertise.
A great practitioner is always striving to be the very best and most informed therapist that they can be, so that ultimately your horse can get the best possible treatment.
Not every therapist is cut from the same cloth, but the best put many more than the required hours into their professional development. If you want the best for your horse, value your therapist and please don't quibble over their fee. 😍
