Clinic on Colic
I've developed a one-day clinic that every horse
owner should attend. I teach the part of the
massage sequence that helps relieve colic while
you wait for your vet. When I massage a horse, I
always hear all kinds of crazy sounds coming
from their abdomen; you can really hear
everything moving around in there. I can almost
guarantee that your horse will toot & poop during
and after you do this part of the sequence. The
fact that YOU can be the person to touch & help
your horse in his time of need also helps to
alleviate stress and provide comfort for your
horse.
The clinic teaches each attendee how to do this
part of the sequence on their horse and will
include handouts to reference later. Attendees
will also get a brief overview of horse anatomy &
musculature, as well as the history and benefits
of equine massage.
Please call or e-mail to schedule a clinic at your
barn! I will provide flyers for your stable.
Clinic costs: $40 per attendee - must register for
clinic - includes a milk & cookie break
