(IET F4) Foundational Techniques Course ~ 4 Day Intensive

“Melding with Equus®” is the main reason students can quickly develop competent and effective skills. Integrated Equine Therapies addresses “Feel of the Horse from the Inside Out” It is the inside that drives the body and makes the decisions to act.

This hands-on,  course is for people who want to access and treat problems in horses and develop a deeper connection with Equus. It utilizes acupressure, applied kinesiology, and osteopathic techniques to identify the most common and frequently overlooked lameness patterns.

In this 4-Day Course, students are taught the IET Method  Melding with Equus® techniques. Melding is the connection we make with the horse on a deeper physical, emotional, and energetic level.

Students attending this course will learn this and other advanced techniques that will allow the student to connect with the horse at a deeper level, which allows for better training, a better relationship, and better riding.

This Course is limited to 6 students – or up to 10 with one on one hands-on help from Teaching Assistants, allowing for abundant one-on-one time and guidance, feedback, encouragement, and mentoring.

If you are on the fast track to certification in the IET Method Foundation Courses, this is the course for you.

This Course is a perfect way to accelerate your awareness, skills, and abilities with horses.
