Billy is a 25 year old thoroughbred who looked like he should be sold for dog food. He arrived at the massage school underweight and in poor condition. He barely made it from the trailer to his stall - 20 feet away. Billy was lethargic and would not raise his head when anyone entered his stall. He was mostly skin and bones. He would barely eat. We called him "Mr. Dead." Over the course of a week Billy received several massages. Monday evening Billy started eating more. Tuesday he turned to look at us as we entered his stall. Wednesday he nickered at us as we came to feed him and he ate everything in sight. Wednesday afternoon he walked around with a rider on his back. By Thursday he was trotting and Friday morning he cantered up a hill with a rider. We call him "Wild Bill".

Just as amazing was that these massages were performed by students! Geary makes learning fun and easy so that anyone can do it and achieve remarkable results. Classes are small and interactive in a comfortable setting (they were held around the dining room table). Geary provided us with an education that went far beyond the advertised 60 hours.

A wonderful addition to the school is Geary's lovely new bride Kathy. Kathy provides those extra touches that make you feel special. Such as fruit and fresh flowers in the cabins. Both Geary and Kathy make the students feel more like an old dear friend come to visit than just another student. It was a good vacation.
