I have not learnt so much and simultaneously enjoyed myself so hugely for as long as I can remember. The course, although intense, was utterly fascinating and absorbing. Any fears of being overwhelmed by all there was to learn were quickly allayed by Helen’s calm instruction, boundless patience and the ability to answer endless questions! The knowledge gained would be invaluable to anyone involved with horses whether pursuing an esmt career or not. I certainly consider it a week well spent whatever the future holds and one that I will look back on with the greatest of pleasure. Many, many thanks Helen.

Having been involved with horses for the past 30yrs and knowing the bare essentials of equine physiology,I was a little daunted when the pre-course Equissage manual arrived through the post! On day one of the course I wondered how I was going to successfully learn so much in just 5days.However, with Helen Woolleys great enthusiasm, depth of knowledge combined with her ability to promote a relaxed learning environment, I found the week interesting and totally enjoyable.

Personally I’ve found it so wonderful to be able to aid in the wellbeing of one’s horses and see the positive effects of Equissage massage.

A great course which hugely benefits the equine athelete or retiree alike.

Many thanks Helen, I thoroughly enjoyed our week.

Best wishes,  Sian Burch.   Wales

Firstly, I would like to thank Helen Woolley for a fantastic week which was both very interesting and informative. When the pre course work arrived, I have to say we all went into shock, but when Helen arrived for our weeks course all our minds were put to rest. Although it was hard work Helen made it fun. I’m glad I a attended the course. Would I recommend it? DEFINITELY!Ann Marie de Rouffignac (Hohne)

Helen Woolley has treated 2 of my horses on various occasions and I was amazed at the difference in their performance and their obvious enjoyment of the experience, so much so that I have now trained myself with Equissage Europe. Helen is a patient, knowledgeable and considerate teacher. No question was too small and the 5 day course, though intensive was such fun. I would recommend it to any horse owner, not just someone thinking of Massage as a career option.Jade Allaker - Monchengladbach

Dear Equissage Europe,I wanted to write and tell you about the success I have had using the colic sequence. Our yard has a gelding that had an operation for colic approximately 6 weekes ago. I have been using the Equissage full body massage twice a week and recovery was going well. Unfortunately 2 days ago he had another episode of colic, the vet felt a further operation was necessary or the horse could be destroyed. I suggested the colic sequence and within the hour he was  showing such an improvement. This morning he seems absolutely fine. Thanks for all you taught me.

I found the Equissage Europe course accessible, worthwhile and brilliantly suited to all types of student and horses. The adaptability of the course, combined with the well-rounded approach examining other important factors, was superbly conveyed through an informal yet appropriate learning stlye. I would fully recommend this course to any horsey person, having already experienced the benefit upon my own horses.Sue Fox (Rheindahlen)

Equissage Europe was 5 days learning about the horse which I wish I had known 15 years ago. Excellent instruction in an easy to understand style and excellent facilities for both the theory and practical sessions. I met interesting, likeminded people and had great fun too. Altogether excellent value for money. I really recommend it, it has improved my knowledge of horses so much.N. Smith ( Norwich)

The course was great and I learnt alot. I am calling myself (site) ‘Hands On Horses’, massage équin. I will start advertising at my next endurance ride and see how things go. I also so want to say thankyou for teaching me how to love my horses again, and getting back ‘ in touch’ with them.

I will put a link in to equissage on my site,
Bye for now

Just a little “thank you” for allowing me on your course! It was fantastic, the best I’ve done and I am grateful. ( And you should be pleased to be the first person to keep me awake during lectures- not easy)

Hi Helen,Just emailing to thank you for a wonderful week (and of course for passing me!!!) I’ve been looking at all my horses this morning thinking “how can I not have seen that before!!?”. Spoke to my local vet today and she’s happy about me treating in this area. Thanks again for this week, it has been really interesting and fun.
