President, Don Doran's Equine Sports Massage Programs.
Speaking as a Professional Horseman with 35+ years of experience, there are a few things of which I am certain...
There is No Such Thing as a Horse Whisperer
There are No Short-Cuts to Success in the Horse Business
In Order to Achieve Success with a Horse, One must Strike the Right Combination
of Talent, Hard Work and Good Luck.
A successful sire or dam does not guarantee that the offspring will be successful. World class, high-profile riders & trainers must prove themselves with every horse.
Standing in the way of success are many obscure and frustrating, equine physical, behavioral, training and performance problems.
At Animal Dynamics, our talent and expertise is in identifying the root causes of performance problems and providing the permanent, proper solution to these problems.
One key to our many successes is our belief that each horse must be evaluated and treated as an individual. We take a realistic approach to managing the whole horse. We know that what works for one horse many not work for the next horse.
It is Unrealistic To Expect Performance From a Horse that is in Pain
Horses in performance training are going to have muscular pain. A successful horseman knows when to push and when to back off or modify the training regimen. Successful horsemen use properly fitting equipment and understand the value of conditioning and cross training their horses.
Unfortunately, In the Horse Industry Today Pain Management is the Common Practice And Horsemanship is a Forgotten Art
Whether you are a professional horseman, amateur owner or life long horse lover, our programs have invaluable information for you.
We have been a leader in Equine Education since 1993. Our high quality educational programs have been well received by horsemen from all around the world.
Our Programs are Often Imitated, but Never Equaled.
Our life experiences in the horse industry and in the world of human holistic health care enable us to bring unique perspectives to our classes and therapy sessions. We present programs in the U.S. , Europe and Australia . We provide superior integrated equine therapy to our private clients.
All of our programs are delivered with high intensity and all are received with high impact. The intent of these programs is to empower students with relevant information and skills that make them better horsemen and competitors.
After Completing One of Our Programs, Students Never Look at a Horse the Same Way Again.

Graduates of our training programs have a knowledge base that makes them better horsemen and gives them a competitive edge in many aspects of the equine industry.
When students leave us, they can put their hands on a horse and know how well the horse is or is not responding to its training program.
Furthermore, these students know what to do to foster positive change in the horses' muscular-skeletal system.
We strive to give our students a complete understanding of equine therapies in both theory and hands on application in an enjoyable and supportive learning atmosphere. The programs we have developed are of some of the most comprehensive equine courses offered anywhere in the world. Our guest speakers are some of the most respected professionals in the equine industry.
Our programs emphasize evaluation of the entire horse to identify, understand and treat the root cause of a muscular problem, not just the most obvious symptom.
When evaluating a horse, our students are taught to consider each of these components: Skeletal Conformation, Hoof Health, Past Use and History, Current Discipline and Training Program, Cross-training Program, Nutritional Program, Tack and Rider. Each of these elements has an effect on the horse's movement, temperament and well-being.
The end results of our training programs are respected therapists who are well prepared to work effectively with horses.
I started my Equine Sports Massage Program in 1993. It was the first extended equine massage course in the country. Since then, the field of Equine Sports Massage, also known as Equine Massage or Horse Massage has gained acceptance by the mainstream and has grown tremendously.
Equine Sports Massage (ESM) and Integrated Equine Therapy are valuable components in any equine athlete's training program.
Equine massage is also wonderful for very young and very old horses. Equine massage is an effective way to manage and modify horse behavior. Equine massage is a treatment that feels good and promotes a state of relaxation and trust; two very good things for nervous, fearful or grumpy horses!
We find that once a human has received personal benefit from complementary therapies such as massage, chiropractic, acupuncture and herbal medicine, they are motivated to have this type of treatment for their horses, dogs and cats. Likewise, we have seen a growing acceptance of complementary animal therapies among progressive holistic veterinarians.
People who enroll in our program range from amateur owners to professional horsemen and veterinarians. All students share an interest in learning equine sports massage therapy techniques and exploring the application of complementary therapies to horses.
Since 2000 many other horse massage schools have sprung up offering equine massage and complementary therapies curriculums. I encourage you to evaluate each program and ask questions to find the right program for you. Questions to Ask
The experience I have as a life-long horseman and the number of years which I have been performing integrated equine therapy give our programs reality-based content that is unsurpassed in the industry.
Our program location in the heart of Ocala Florida , Horse Capital of the World, provides students the opportunity to work with high-level equine athletes of many different disciplines.
