Equine Massage Practitioner Certification

Equine Massage Certification Program with Natalie Gregg

Become a confident, knowledgeable, and certified Equine Massage Therapist through a proven program trusted by riders, trainers, and equine professionals across the country. Whether you dream of starting a new career, want to elevate your current equine practice, or simply want to help your own horses feel and perform their best—this certification gives you everything you need.

Why This Certification Stands Out

You’ll begin with self-paced online study, learning the anatomy, biomechanics, massage techniques, and foundational assessment skills that every equine bodyworker MUST understand before ever laying hands on a horse.

Then, you’ll join us for 5 incredible days of in-person, hands-on instruction where you’ll practice every technique under expert supervision, work on a variety of horses, and refine your palpation, pressure, and flow.

By the end of this program, you’ll understand not just what to do, but why each technique works.

Curriculum

📌 Anatomy & Biomechanics (Online + In-Person)

Build a strong foundation that sets you apart from the average massage practitioner. You’ll learn major muscle groups, origins/insertions, joint movement, and functional patterns so your work is effective and targeted.

📌 Massage Safety & Professional Ethics

Learn how to assess a horse appropriately, keep yourself and the horse safe, and understand when massage is helpful, and when it isn’t.

📌 Full-Body Massage Techniques

From poll to tail, you’ll learn professional-level techniques to address tension, soreness, stiffness, and performance limitations.

📌 Evaluation Skills

Learn how to evaluate posture, muscle asymmetry, soreness, and movement before you begin a session.

📌 Hands-On Practice With Real Horses

During your 5-day live training, you’ll practice every technique under expert guidance to ensure proper pressure, flow, and effectiveness.

📌 Business & Client Communication

Get guidance on starting or expanding a successful equine massage business—pricing, working with vets and farriers, recordkeeping, and building a strong client base.
