An equine chiropractor; a saddle fitter and farrier; among others; discuss the importance of their professions in caring for the horse's anatomy. Students learn the history and benefits of equine massage; study equine skeletal anatomy; connective tissue; muscle location (origin and insertion) and function. Transportation is not provided to the Equestrian Center. Arranging transportation to the Equestrian Center will be the responsibility of the student; however; we will assist in the arrangement of ride sharing to the Equestrian Center.
