Our full online course teaches you everything you need to begin work as an equine massage professional within the constraints of your state’s veterinary board requirements.
Many states allow equine massage therapists to work independently, however, some states require supervision and association with a veterinarian in order to practice as a equine or animal body work professional.
Membership can be obtained from one of many organizations by simply becoming a member of those organizations after a couple of years of documented work as an equine massage professional or by presenting evidence of course work completed by an equine massage school which is a member of their organization.
However, becoming a member of these organizations does not allow you to bypass your states veterinary board requirements. All equine massage practitioners, regardless of where or how they received their certification, must comply with their states requirements, which is normally in the form of either direct supervision by a veterinarian or referral by a veterinarian.
The trend in equine massage seems to be, at the time of this writing, that many states are moving towards allowing equine professional’s greater autonomy and independence.
