Answer 4

Here is a link to Equissage - it will give you loads of info. Just check state laws and make sure they don't require you to be a vet. There was a cover story on AOL yesterday about a lady who was certified to do human massage and was practicing on horses and they shut her down. She's fighting it and should win, but check your state laws to be safe. http://www.equissage.com/
