Massage Wellington

can someone explain the life of an equine massage therapist.I live in Florida and Wellington is a great horse town with rich and beautiful show horses just waiting to be massaged.What is it that to be one? What is the salary? Can I still spend time with my own horses? What I afford about.Can goog things like my own would barn.I training people to ride too.Just for extra money.

It SA great way to spend your life broke. I went through training "(waste of money) and I discovered that most average people will not pay $ 100 (or more) to do that and if you can find a barn with a trainer you recommend to its clients, you may have trouble getting customers. What I always found that once most people see this they think they can do as well and save money. That was my thought when I got in it. And I live in the middle of one of the largest horse populations in the country. There is something fun that you can do for your own horses, but it would be difficult to make a living at it. Most trainers laugh at this stuff, most veterinarians will tell a client, it is not necessary, and leave you with a handful of people who will pay you to do. And most do not spend $ 100 per month on their horses for a massage, unless the horse is in pain. And most of the time, a massage will be a final effort in these cases. You can get them to do it once a year if you're lucky. I hope this answers your question. Good luck!

Update: I live in the Dallas / Fort Worth, where there are thousands of horses show. And like the other answer you can not give. To do this. Go to some barns around your area and ask them if they use your services. Ask local vets if they would recommend massage as a treatment (most will not). And some will even try to get you shut down the practice of "medicine" without a license. Figure spending about three hours per horse (including the conduct and evaluation). And if you're in excellent shape, you can make about two horses per day. And even then 4 is all you can manage one day. Everyone was on the train back when it was the great enthusiasm and now there are so many do that the market is oversaturated. To do this, if you want, but just do not be disapponted when people are not cut down your doors.

I agree with the response you received. I spent about $ 1,600 to form. This is really not the owners of horses that something is really easy to make you pay. I worked to build a very difficult undertaking. I rented a booth at horse expos. I gave clinics and lectures. And I do not license massage therapist equine in the state I was in.

In addition, all work on large bodies of horses, and I had to undergo surgery on his hand. If you choose to do, then go to Equissage (search on the internet) because they are the best school and prepare yourself to the fullest. However, I really think it is really a waste of time. For all the money I paid, I massage my own horses.

I am a massage therapist animal.

I used to live in Aiken, SC. Aiken horse is so focused that there are traffic lights that you can go up and press a button and stop traffic in all directions so that a cyclist can cross the street. I could not do massage away there.

This is not true to say that I do not make any money at it, but it does not comply, and should not be relied on to pay your bills.

I spend more time doing dog massage as influenza.

If you love animals, the work is very rewarding. You also are subject kicked, trampled and marched on horses or being bitten by horses and dogs.

I charge $ 55 per session for a dog and $ 75 per session for a horse.

If you really want to pursue this I also recommend Equissage for your training and certification.
