Description
Students seeking certification are on a fast pathway to becoming elite equine practitioners by being the recipients of Integrated Equine Therapies (IET) training.
These students learn modalities that offer significant, lasting results dealing with lameness and metabolic and emotional conditions in horses. Horses that have been non-responsive to modern allopathic and traditional treatments find relief when treated by an IET therapist. Therefore, students emerging with IET Certification are positioned to enter an elite group of highly sought-after therapists; they are well prepared to develop highly successful equine therapy businesses. Our students advance to a profound sense of competency in a sea of confusing and conflicting ideas and “expert advice.”
Students wishing to seek certification will have the option to become certified in (IET EFT) Equine Foundational Techniques Therapies. Through our training, students will be able to perfect their equine therapy skills and have a true sense of competency.
