Your horse can be strong but not in control!

Strength isn’t just about how much your horse can do, it’s about how well they can control their body while doing it.

A horse might be physically capable of completing a movement, but that doesn't necessarily mean they have the strength and control to perform it well, particularly when the movement becomes more demanding.

It’s so important to look at every aspect of a horse’s movement, whether you’re an owner looking at your own horse or a professional looking at your client’s horses. The foundations that allow a horse to carry themselves effectively, maintain balance and move with control are key to correct movement and prevent issues further down the line.

Double tap if you agree that quality movement is so much more important than just getting the move ‘done’!!

There is more than one way to learn, and our courses have been designed with that understanding at its core. We know that some students arrive with years of experience working with horses, whilst others are at the beginning of their careers. Some are confident putting new skills into practice straight away, others need more time and reassurance before everything clicks.

Our approach is to adapt to the individual, rather than asking each student to learn in the exact same way.

That is something our lead tutor Helan brings to every course. With more than 20 years of teaching experience, she has developed a reputation for creating a learning environment that is supportive, encouraging and above all, adaptable to the students.

Helen understands that confidence and competence don't always develop at the same pace, and she knows when a student needs to be challenged, when they need something explained in a different way or when they need space to figure something out in their own time.

Her teaching style is gentle without compromising on expertise or expertise. She brings knowledge and experience, whilst making sure students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and taking the time they need to develop their understanding.

You’ll never be treated like just another student on our courses, you’re an individual and a valued member of the Equissage Europe family.

Well maybe not quite yet but with winter comes rain, snow, dark nights and mornings and MUD! But you could have a new (and slightly drier) equine career by then! Training as an Equissage Equine sports and rehabilitation massage therapist could be just the answer. We still have 2026 opportunities and a full 2027 programme.

For us, becoming a skilled practitioner isn’t about completing a course, passing exams or learning a set protocol.

Of course those things are incredibly important!

But for us, we always encourage our students and graduates to develop their ability to think critically, their need to understand and ask questions, and continue to develop their skills.

That is the incredible thing about working in the equine therapy industry, there are endless opportunities to learn and if there’s one thing we can always rely on with horses, it is for them to throw us curveballs.

Our role is to give you so much more than techniques, it is to support you as you explore where you fit in the industry and how you can change it, for the better.

We want to develop practitioners who are still asking questions long after they’ve completed their training, who recognise that there is always more to learn and who are committed to continually improving the standard of care they provide.

Our graduates are raising the standard of the industry, and we are so proud to be able to support them with that. For more information on how you can enter into an industry that offers as much learning as you could ever want, DM us the word “CURIOUS”.

We all make plans for our horses… the competitions, the training schedule, the route for your hack.

But horses so often throw us curve balls, it’s our responsibility to adapt and put their needs first always.

If your horse is telling you that they need something different, we need to listen. A lighter training session, more warming up time, a relaxed hack rather than schooling, a day to rest.

Your horse doesn’t know the schedule in your head, but they do know how they feel and what they need from you.

Double tap if you agree that the best laid plans always go out the window when it comes to horses!
