Equine Massage Therapy

I have filled out my application and am getting ready to fax it in with my deposit to attend the Equissage campus of Equine Sports Massage Therapy.

I have been wanting to do this for 3-4 years now but because of school, never thought it was possible. I called it my Pipe Dream. However, that dream is finally becoming a reality. My entire life I have gone against the grain of societal norms. I didn't participate in sports in middle or high school, I instead competed whole halfheartedly with my equine companions in my own sport. I didn't leave or sell my horses when I went to college and I never understood those that did. I went to college because "it is the way it's done" and I don't regret it but I still don't feel like I have fulfilled any major accomplishments towards my future.

So many people come up and ask me what I want to do now that I am done (or nearly done) with school. I always just give a very blank stare, get a little panicky and have absolutely NO response! Mainly I just mumble something about "whatever I can find" but that is what I HAVE to do, not what I WANT to do. Horses are my passion, my knowledge, my strength and much to many peoples dismay, my life. They always have been, and I am NOT ashamed to say that I hope and want them to always be.

So, I am continuing with my Riding Instructors Certificate, and becoming certified in Equine Sports Massage Therapy, and maybe someday Equine Appraisal. I am determined to live a life I can be proud of and say I did it my way!
