The basic program schedule has mornings devoted to lectures in the classroom and afternoons devoted to demonstrations and supervised hands-on work in the field. Field trips are taken to several different farms so that students have the opportunity to work with and learn from a variety of horses. Students are exposed to horse of different breeds and athletic disciplines.

Each day of the program builds upon the previous day. Students develop their palpation skills with each afternoon practice. In the labs students are encouraged to focus on locating and palpating the muscles covered in class that morning. As new muscles are introduced each day, students will become familiar with the new muscles and review muscles covered on previous days. By the end of Session 2, students have learned an entire protocol from head to hindleg.

Throughout the program, students are instructed that equine sports massage therapy is not a substitute for proper veterinary care. Students are instructed that equine sports massage therapy is designed to promote wellness and assist with muscular problems. Students are taught to evaluate and manipulate muscle tissue and work as part of the well-care team.

Classes are offered in a relaxed, enjoyable learning atmosphere, concentrating on the individual student. Class sizes are limited so that students may receive personalized instruction.
