With more and more equine massage therapists getting certified, and no governing body for equine massage in the US, how do you know who to hire for your horse? Here are a few things to pay attention to when looking for a massage therapist:⁠
⁠
🐴 The school they graduated from⁠
Not all schools are created equal. Look up the school, find out who is teaching it, and find out what the teacher's background is and how long they have been teaching. ⁠What do they teach and how long is their program? Keep in mind that the school doesn't "make" the practitioner. Every school teaches differently and it is up to the students to ensure they are grasping their education. One school I attended passed the other person I took the course with, even though they failed both the hands-on and written test 🤦‍♀️
⁠
🐴 Continuing education⁠
Are they attending additional courses or CE courses? CE courses are not required to be an equine massage therapist but this is a career that is always evolving. ⁠
⁠
🐴 Type of massage ⁠
Every massage therapist has their own technique depending on who they learned from, how they learned, and the results they received from working on horses over the years. Equine massage is an art and no one does art the same.
⁠
🐴 Experience/Case studies⁠
If your horse has a specific issue, ask the potential therapist if they have worked on a horse with something similar. ⁠If they believe they aren't a good fit for your horse based off of your horse's needs, they may be able to recommend someone else.
⁠
🐴 Know the laws⁠
This one is a little more on you as the owner. Veterinarians are the only ones who can diagnose, prescribe meds, or do acupuncture, and chiropractors (equine vets or human chiro) are the only ones who can make skeletal adjustments.

While Holistic Hoofbeats was away in TX she trusted me with the most adorable (and smallest I've worked with to date) client. Miss Rosebud🌹 is the sweetest little peanut with a very unique story. Adventures of Rosebud

Another year is coming to a close.

Thank you so much for every single person and animal that have been part of my 2024 journey. I've had the privilege of making new connections with amazing people, broadening my horizons in what I can bring to the table with my business, and have been shown what true support looks like which is HUGE for a small business. This past year has also brought up difficult emotions with the loss of some client horses as well. I get invested and develop relationships with people and their animals where this business is so much more than "just a job". With that said, I want to take a moment to acknowledge and honor our furry friends that are not able to step into the new year with us🌈.

Thank you so much for helping this past year be a success. I can't wait to see what fills up not only my cup but your cups for 2025.✌️🫶

Better with BE〽️ER.

Bemer can be combined with other therapy modalities or used on its own to help your horse in a variety of different ways 💛

Thank you so much to the Pardeeville/Rio Equestrian Team for having me out to the Sunnyview Expo Center for the 2024 WIHA show!!! I had the privilege of providing education on the importance of equine bodywork, different services offered by Dialectic Equine Massage and got to work on some very sweet horses while meeting some super cool kids!

Good Luck this weekend !!!

This is such a great video on understanding anatomy and what happens when horses are forced into unnatural positions while riding, driving, training etc. "It is important to understand what is healthy and possible for a horse to be doing. There is a lot of good we can do for a horse's body but not if we disregard the anatomy of a horse's body".
