The Directory of British Equine Therapists

The Directory of British Equine Therapists has continued to grow since its humble beginnings in July 2003. Due to the interest shown by horse owners and equine therapists, the Directory has been enlarged to provide a page for each equine complementary health therapy.

Our new logo designed by the talented equine artist Joni Solis embodies the spirit of equine therapy for horses - the human assisting the horse, to experience the benefits of good health.

Over the last five years, we have witnessed an amazing growth in complementary therapy for horses. The associations of the various equine practitioners have grown in membership, as more people do courses and become fully qualified equine practitioners. There is growing recogniton and respect for the equine therapist.

Time has shown that the therapies have beneficial health effects for the horse based on tried and proven methods. Complementary health therapy for horses is no longer scorned by veterinarians, many veterinary practices now offer and recommend equine therapies. Vets themselves, have taken on studies in complementary therapy for horses.

The information provided in The Directory of British Equine Therapists, includes the background, recognised association, member sites, training courses and recommended reading. The information on each equine complementary/remedial health therapy points the reader to recognised associations and qualified therapists or practitioners. The suggested training courses are run by reputable associations providing recognised qualifications with a register of qualified, insured practitioners. This protects the public from opportunists passing themselves off as therapists

Our recommended books have been carefully chosen by our therapists to provide a valuable source of information for the horse owner, with an interest in using alternative health therapies, to improve their horse's health. They are not intended to replace treatment but merely to provide information and understanding of your horse's health problems.

The Directory of British Equine Therapists has been made possible by the energy, enthusiasm and support of all the equine complementary therapists and their associations, in partnership with Equine Natural Health.
