It's About The Horse

On Linda Tellington's web site there is is link to the Equinology's free course. "Broaden your knowledge of veterinary terminology and the musculoskeltetal system of the horse."

However, at the bottom is says there is a $15 charge ($25 if outside US), for certificates of completion, processing paperwork etc. Sounds fair.

Anyone ever done this course?

Glen and I are enrolled, yes. Considering what we pay for courses, the $35 each is terrific value for courses as comprehensive as Equinology's.

The red light therapy course Glen and I did in July is now the EQ1600, so for us it is a terrific addition, particularly as it is the prerequisite for Glen to doing the EQ100 Equine Bodyworker course.

That's pretty neat. I may do it since it's a great thing I can do with horses and stay indoors during the cold winter. I really liked the Masterson Massage DVD and had good results learning it, so this might be my next step.

I signed up for it. You do have to pay the $15 for the certificate regardless, but I think it is still an incredible value.

If it ends up being interesting, maybe we can start a thread. Or maybe we've already started the thread . . .
I signed up and will let you all know what it's like. And will post my questions, too. Of course.

I signed up today for the free course too. I also have the Masterson Method DVD and have been practicing on my boys . I know human anatomy quite well, so alot of the terms, root words etc are already in my head somewhere just need to brush off a few cobwebs

Anyone want to share their experiences so far? I just found this thread and visited the site. It sounds like something I would enjoy this summer. Let me know how you all feel about it. Thanks

Haven't had too much time yet to devote to the study, but I am making plans to be a little more organized beginning this week

If you have a medical (or vet) background then I don't think it will be too difficult. I know human anatomy and physiology and it translates quite well to the 4 legged critters. I am incorporating it with the Masterson massage techniques too so trying to put some practical use to the anatomy will help reinforce the terminology.
If you are completely new to anatomical terms, bones muscles etc it will obviously be more difficult, but still doable I think. They don't expect you to have the same in depth knowledge as a physician but until I look at the test, which won't be for a few months it will be hard to say. For $15 I think its worth a go...keeps my brain cells from seizing up!

Thanks girl! I've got a solid background so should not be too stressful. Think I'll give it a whirl this summer.

Just enrolled, looking forward to it, another "arrow in the quiver"

I just signed up for it. It costs $20. It looks like a thorough course from what I see so far.

Which course exactly have y'all signed up for? Is it the distance learning anatomy class? If so, does a group do it all at the same time? Thanks for the link to the website, a place I'd not visited before. The inspirational stories were, well, wonderful!
