    Hi Mike. He actually was never mine, although I cared for him like he was. I left that situation a while ago and they since sold him to a little girl who takes lessons with a friend of mine.

    My horse has a lateral collateral ligament partial tear. She’s on stall rest. Recent ultrasound shows there’s still moderate inflammation at six weeks out from initial injury. I’m thinking the AAH light that you are using may be beneficial. Your thoughts? Do you have references for further information using the red light therapy to help with Healing ligaments?

    Hi! I’m considering going to school to become an Equine Massage Therapist. How difficult was is it to find clientele? Do most schools offer business courses or guidance when it comes to this?

  • @VanessaKoper
    @VanessaKoper3 жыл бұрын

    Yes, I think it is difficult to find clientele. I think that it helps if you have a personality that people are drawn to. The other great way to acquire them is by studying under someone who has more than they can handle or who might be retiring soon and you could take over from them. But I think if you persevere and prove how good you are, eventually you’ll build a business. That said, I think everyone in horses should know about massage therapy and it’s benefits and that everyone in horses should understand the theory and mechanics behind it. It’s basic “vehicle “ maintenance that should go along with grooming, healthy exercise, nutrition, competition, farrier etc.

    Thanks Mike, yes, I am planning to do a series of 5 different strokes and some supporting videos around them. It’s very hot right now so it’s a challenge to video and do it how I wish to. I do like to watch his eyes for blinking and expressions to judge his reaction. I think if I do it well, the reward is the work itself. I haven’t done bodywork work on a trail yet, but sometimes if I’m working a horse in the ring and I can see something I can fix with some attention, I will stop and help the issue before I carry on. I think that’s the wonderful thing about massage - I can help muscle issues on the ground so they don’t have to continue the problem when the horse works. If you don’t interrupt the cycle, it’s just a circle that makes itself worse in time. If I can alleviate the issue, we can help the horse move on past it
