Well, as you know "Equine Myotherapy" would be the horse equivalent. Getting Art Trickey's barn chart you will find invaluable as an aid. Here are a couple of relevant sites for you. Hope this helps? Good luck.

You may also want to google or you tube "Masterson's" work in the same field, another respected Equine Myotherapist.

Thanks pmpleau :) I googled "equine myopathy" and came up with links to bowen too, they do seem to be similar. I am guessing it is also similar to equine touch.
The actual Bowen MRT course that I am looking at doing has been adapted for horses. If I do this I want to do it at a professional level.

Can I suggest you have a look at the Equine Touch presented to the University from Jock and Ivana Ruddock, the founders of Equine Touch. I am an Equine Touch Practitioner living in the UK but do know there are quite a number of Practitioners in Australia and New Zealand.
Just for your information Jock originally was a Human Bodyworker and one of the Modalities he studied was Bowen but he felt the system was not complete in terms of addressing the whole animal or human. The Equine Touch move is different and also the way the horse is addressed is more complete as it addresses the whole body.
The result is now that we have very similar systems to suit horses, people and dogs. The moves are the same but the application is slightly different, depending on animal or human.
Why not have a look in the University under Alternative Therapies where you will see the videos that Jock and Ivana made. They visited Monty and Pat a few years ago to show them what Equine Touch was all about.
I may be biased as I am a Practitioner but I genuinely feel the work is more gentle than some Modalities out there, easier to learn and also kinder.It has been my experience that horses just love having Equine Touch sessions.
The fact that this Modality is not difficult to learn is certainly a positive.
If you google Equine Touch you can check out all the sites and locations of Practitioners.

Good luck in your search and hope you choose the best Modality that suits you.

I agree with Ruth. One of my very best friends is also an Equine Touch Practitioner in the UK. ET is fantastic I can't sing it's praises enough. It really helped my old horse over come many issues he had from previous injuries & confirmation problems. She also performed weekly ET on him while he was on box rest & suffering painful laminitis - it really helped him feel more relaxed & comfortable. x

Yes I agree that equine touch is fantastic! I watched that uni lesson too :) I fully intend to learn ET at some point. ET courses are not run in my state atm and as a mum to 4 little kids, traveling several times interstate just to qualify for ET does not fit into my life right now unfortunately.
Thus my reason for looking into other modes of equine body work :) For my first course or qualification, I want to make sure I am doing a course that is accredited within Australia. There are no ET courses that are accredited here, unfortunately. I have however found a Bowen course and instructor that is accredited and lives only 40 minutes from my house.
Also, just because I might study one modality, does not bind me to that one area for life. I want to add and expand my skills, for example I am interested in homeopathics, acupressure and aroma therapy for horses also. I do not believe in a "one method is best" mind-set, I believe that different horses will require different treatments and perhaps even different treatments at different times.

sorry I posted that too soon and it bugs me that I cannot edit it!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrr :(

rhani, i am writing from central coast nsw. we have bowen therapist locally who has treated my girl with good outcomes. I think the treatment is excellent combined with chiro & massage depending on the horses injury or issue. Google Virginia Ede & she will be happy to talk with u.

Thanks ckaron :) I checked out Virginia's website. It's nice to read different practitioners' sites as it gives an idea of how diversely methods can be practiced. People might learn the same method of body work, but put in their own personality and strengths, add other modalities/interests into how they practice.
I have discovered that there are two slightly different types of Bowen practiced here is Aus. EMRT, the one that Virginia has studied is based in QLD and they don't have any instructors down here. So I am going to study with "Smart Bowen" which is based in Vic, but have an instructor based here in Sydney.
To me this course will be a foot in the door to equine body work and I will explore, develop my skills and branch out into other modalities from there as they suit or fit into what I am doing/believe in.
To be honest, as long as I am working with horses and I'm able to help them feel better, I am happy :)
