Integrated Equine Therapies
CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
Integrated Equine Therapies Certification is a comprehensive process that empowers individuals to become truly effective as equine therapists.
Certification represents much more than simply attending a course — it builds the skillset, knowledge, and approach needed to assess and achieve remarkable results. In short, certified practitioners will be able to "Walk the Talk" and demonstrate unquestionable proficiency.
Students pursuing certification are on a fast pathway to becoming elite equine practitioners, benefiting from Tom Mayes' decades of training, refined techniques, and methodologies. For those who wish to become world-class equine therapists with thriving practices, or dramatically enhance their existing professional skills, IET Certification offers a complete and thorough journey. This certification signifies that the individual is a capable and worthy clinician, equipped with cutting-edge techniques, skills, and abilities on par with the best in the field.
“It’s my sincere desire to guide those special individuals who aspire to become adept and proficient at clearing conditions in horses once thought impossible, and to be a voice for Equus on their quest to reawaken the human race.” - Tom Mayes
There are three levels of certification, each increasing in sophistication, scope, and training. These include:
The certification journey involves completing one or more of the courses and demonstrating proficiency in both theory and hands-on application.
This process includes submitting case studies, practical assessments, teach assist at a IET Course and a final practicum with Tom Mayes.
Pursuing certification enhances your knowledge, helps you develop advanced skills, and establishes you as a credible professional in equine therapy.
You will set yourself apart in the field with this recognized certification, gaining a profound understanding of equine bodywork and advanced techniques to assess and treat a range of equine dysfunctions. This credential not only opens doors for professional growth but also empowers you to offer a deeper, more holistic level of care to the horses you work with.
