This is a summary of one of my case studies for my equine nutrition course. It includes a short explanation of why I chose the specific products I did.

Almost finished with two of my classes! All of my hours are complete and now I’m looking for 6 horses to participate in my case studies. 5 horses will be for massage, they will be evaluated followed by a sports massage. And the other case study is for holistic nutrition. Either adding some holistic herbs and supplements or creating a new holistic feeding program.

Hi! I’m currently enrolled in equine massage therapy. I’m close to being certified, I only need 24 more hours of volunteer massage work to any horse! If anyone is interested in wanting to get their pony massaged message me. I am overcoming Lyme disease so bare with me as I get back to work.
