The EquiTouch System of equine massage involves the "whole horse." We don't believe in teaching "bits and pieces" of equine massage with no solid foundation. So we combined several unique methods of touch, equine bodywork and massage as well as exercise physiology with in-depth anatomy instruction to create an exceptional course.
We are proud of our program and take pride in over 45 years of combined equine massage, bodywork, reconditioning and remedial training that stands behind our current methods and system of instruction.There is no other program like EquiTouch. You will learn individualized, unique, and effective methods of applying massage and bodywork to your horse.
You will learn how to make each equine massage session fit the individual horse, its exerciseconditioning program, its personality and its emotional and physical needs. You will also discover that our methods prove far more effective than a simple, step-by-step "pattern" or routine.
Massage has been used on people, horses, and other animals for literally thousands of years and was used by the ancient Chinese on animals as well as people, as early as 3000 B.C. Regardless of who developed the initial "rubdown, " massage for horses has gained popularity because of many horse owners' increased interest in adjunctive therapies, and interest in the natural holistic health alternatives such as naturopathy and herbal remedies.

To achieve excellence in Equine Massage, or massage of any creature, you must have a strong, solid foundation.
Much of that foundation is built on the ability to read and evaluate what the body tells you about itself.
Although some of your assessment will come from visual signals, a large part of the information you can gain comes from your sense of touch.
Through touch with the fingers and thumbs as well as with the entire hand, you can evaluate the current state of the body's soft tissue structures.

Have you read about the horse's skeletal structure and muscles, but found the information too complicated and difficult to retain?
Did you know that the horse has no collarbone; that its forelegs are attached to its spine only by muscles and ligaments?
The Equine Anatomy Home Study Manual was initially developed as a prerequisite to EquiTouch Systems, Inc. Equine Sports Massage Therapy Certification Course.
It contains information about the basic skeletal structure, types of joints and how they function, the points of the horse, and the basic musculature, i.e., superficial muscles and their actions.

The ranch in Loveland, CO where we formerly held classes has been sold.
Currently we are looking for a similar classroom arrangement in a nearby location.
In the meantime, we are still offering a few small, private/semi-private classes at several stables near Laramie, WY and a few near Cheyenne, WY.
Feel free to call or email for more information about scheduling for those classes.
While we will miss the classroom setting at Lazy J in Loveland, we are confident that we will find another permanent location for the classroom portion of your studies.

Class size is normally limited to 4 - 6 students.
This insures that you will receive personalized, one-on-one instruction.
During the nine-day program, you will work on 8 - 10 different horses and will receive "palpation" instruction on 10 - 12 different horses as well.
This means you receive almost twice the "hands-on" training that students of other equine sports massage programs are given.
We believe high quality, personalized hands-on experience is essential to your educational experience and success.
