The horse is to be regarded as an athlete. The musculotendinous system is the horse’s system of movement. When this system is impaired, movement is compromised. Equine Myofunctional Therapy addresses this system to repair or maintain movement, health and performance in the horse. This modality is for the benefit of all horses including the highest performing sport horse. Our college pioneered Equine Myofunctional Therapy training in Australia in 1993. This course will enable you to understand fundamental principles and the terminology of equine anatomy, physiology and applied techniques.This course is conducted over three blocks spreading over six months.
