This workshop will explore how human intervention through selective breeding has altered the natural path of equine evolution. Human desire to produce speed, strength, stamina, colour and showground looks have changed the horse’s conformation and movement for ever.
In this workshop, we will learn, through the consideration of demonstration horses’ movement, conformation and – yes – problems, what we are really seeing when we look at a horse today.
July 18th & 19th 2015, at Finch Hatton, Qld. Cost $295. For more information please contact us. Please note this clinic is very popular this year and hence only a few positions remain. If you are at all considering attending – dont wait too long!

Equine Massage should not be used as a substitute for veterinary care. If in doubt of your horses’ health or well being, Melissa will refer you to your preferred veterinarian prior to commencing any bodywork. Horses under the care of a veterinarian should first be cleared by the attending veterinarian to ensure that massage is appropriate for the horse at this time.
