COURSES EXTERNSHIP
As with every Equinology® course, once you have finished the onsite component, you have the option of completing an externship and having your work reviewed and marked by our team. While this is an optional component we highly recommend completing the externship as it cements all of your new skills and is a wonderful opportunity to receive personal feedback from us. Also, you will not be eligible to gain insurance, charge for your services or call yourself an Equine Body Worker until you have successfully passed your externship (i.e..it’s important!).
