Introduction go Equine Nutrition: I cover 136 known “nutrition related health problems,” discussing why, how to address, and how to prevent them. I have been told, “this subject matter alone was worth my attending your program.” I agree, that is why it is my lead off hitter. It certainly may prevent the death, or serious problems in yours or one of your friends, or clients horses, what’s that worth!!!

Human Nutrition: Every known vitamin from A- to vitamin U, what they do, and what foods they will be found in. As well as their buddy’s, minerals and what natural foods they come in. Be healthy, don’t rely on a doctor, you will see why when you hear what I have to say.

Lunch and then Hand on the Horses, and begin with reviewing some things in your DVD you received when your deposit was made. Then it is off to the races, time to get your feet wet.

Dinner: Dining at World Famous TreeBones Yurt Resort.

TUESDAY

Breakfast followed by review and discussion before heading to the horses, all day with the horses, lunch/dinner included at Treebones Resort

Book Work: Shoeing A Necessary EVIL. This is where I acquaint you with why you need to understand the foot of the horse, and how it relates to a good massage. You will be learning about not just the many problems that come from shoeing, but you will be working on horses with natural feet, Mustangs from the wild, and see first hand what and why the natural foot is always the best. This is one of my favorite subjects. You will be asked a question during this subject, How many hearts does a horse have??? This is not a trick question. Have a ready answer.

WEDNESDAY

BOOK WORK: Seven Laws of Radiant Health, and Seven Laws of Success.

MUSIC: How and Why It Effects The Body. The Anapestic Beat. BEWARE, it is more of a PEST… than you realize. You will come to understand why it is an enemy to horse and human.

THURSDAY

LETS GO FOF A RIDE (Seasonal): This is our time for a little fun, a beautiful ride into the mountains with my friend Mick of Out Back Trail Rides. You will be massaging the horse you rode after we return, then saddle fitting, and stretching.

LUNCH IN CAMBRIA... Can you say Olalla Barry Pie? I can, but I may not be able to spell it.

BOOK WORK: Basic Anatomy, names and function of the superficial muscles of the horse. Common Stress Points for Performance Horses. Equine Exercises for Balancing and Strengthening your Horse.

WORKOUT PROGRAM FOR HUMANS: This is where I get to use my knowledge of 52 years of training/learning/achieving, to help you, or simply add a better way of strength and conditioning and over all fitness to your program. You will learn how to accomplish the most in the shortest amount of time, with remarkable results. There are many ways of reaching our destination of great fitness and health, but some programs simply achieve results quicker, and safer, you will be amazed if you are like most of my students.

DINNER: Special evening!

FRIDAY

MARKETING: I will be adding a new subject this year, “How To Get People To Instantly Like You,” as well as the usual subjects one would expect in how to run a business.

There are those who have great success naturally, but this does not apply to every person. In times of financial challenges, these days can be hard on a person. This is why this subject is VERY IMPORTANT!!! Remind me to tell you about an experiment I did in College to see how popular I was, boy was it ever an eye opener for me.

When I first started my Equine Massage business, few had actually heard of massaging a horse. I applied these laws of success as I had been taught from a man who could correct you and you felt good about the correction. Mr. Richard Rice became one of my role models, and because of his obvious perfecting of this art, made me a better person, and a more successful person at a time when people said, “your going to do what to a horse?” Now Equine Massage is well established, I am happy I was one of those pioneers, this way I can be of more help to you, as you, may be pioneering a new business, and for this I will always appreciate my teachers.

Q & A: This is the last subject of the program, perhaps it isn’t a subject, but none the less you will have some questions that were not answered, or even new thoughts which are important to you. However, not to worry, if you think of something after leaving school, simply call.

GRADUATION: Then it is time for you, and your well deserved certificate to hit the trail Padna, School is over at noon so we can get you to the airport, or home safely by leaving you with some daylight. Be sure to stay in touch.

As you see, this is a FULL, and PRACTICAL program, teaching you the most important and well rounded subjects needed in order to be a successful Equine Massage person. Really, there is no better program out there, there are good ones, that is for sure, however, none as important in laying a sure foundation for success. This is my aim, this is how I serve others, you, are my business.

I am also adding something else this year. For those wishing to start a business, I will pay your first years liability insurance through “ Hands On Trade Association.” This will get you started as a professional, and help you become a professional, and stay a professional, and absolutely thrill your teacher.

VOICE FOR THE HORSE: This is something I am proud to donate money to, One of my graduate students Yvonne Allen from Canada, has started a very important and worthwhile organization. Her tireless endless dedication to this project/dream, and passion for the horse, has earned my respect, along with that of many prominent people, and it will you no doubt. You will not only be a graduate of Geary Whiting’s Equine Massage School, but a Voice For The Horse as well. I look forward to having you in class.

Happy Trails,
Geary Whiting
