About the Equi-Bow Practitioners Program

This certificate program is intended for mature, dedicated, focused individuals interested in integrating the components of equine behavior & management, anatomy & physiology, balanced hoof and tack fitting, with a bowen protocol.

During this program you will learn a system that will enable you to address many issues. You will learn procedures that:

• balance the body overall
• address specific areas of the body
• can be used where conditions don't respond readily to the basic procedures

As well as human and equine bowen techniques, there are additional days of training covering equine management, professional development and student assessment. Unit 5 is a thorough hands-on assessment of every procedure that was taught in the previous four units as well as written and practical testing.

Unit 6 is available to graduates as an advanced one-day course covering additional procedures.

A certificate of proficiency is given by Equi-Bow Canada, which shows that the course content has been successfully completed. Equi-Bow Canada's Practitioners Program is world class. Our thoroughness of training, attention to detail, quality of education and student support ensures the highest quality of equine practitioner training.

The equine content is offered in a series of units, each two to three days in length, designed to provide the necessary skills in an intensive, precise format.

Students will be expected to practice their new skills between units of study in order to perfect their technique and to develop a deeper understanding of the "art" of bowen, which comes through hands-on work done over time. Development of case histories will also be an important part of their work between units.

Workshop days, mandatory for certification, are held approximately one month after each EQ Unit. These days provide an opportunity to perfect technique, work with and assess different horses, review and advance assessment techniques, share techniques for and perfect record-keeping and case history forms. These days also provide an opportunity for instructors to present other related content to enhance your work with horses. Students say the workshops are invaluable, enabling them to gain a whole new level of expertise and greatly boosting their confidence level.

Please note that more workshop days may be required at the discretion of the instructors, depending on the needs of the students.

Workshops dealing with balanced feet and tack fitting with some related anatomy will be scheduled approximately once a year and must be attended before certificates are presented.

Depending on the equine background and experience of the students, additional management courses may be required. It is recommmended that a business course be taken by all students. Completion of recognized equine anatomy and physiology courses is required before an Equi-Bow Canada Practitioners certficate will be issued.
