Mission Statement

To ensure that our students are receiving the most thorough, complete curriculum available.
Firmly hold to the offering of our curriculum both at our facility and through the homestudy courses at a reasonable and fair cost.
In doing so, we will make the therapy more accessible to those wanting to pursue a career as a Certified Equine or Canine Massage Therapist.

::::::::::::::::::::::

Equissage is the oldest and leading trainer of animal massage therapists in the world. Since 1991, Equissage has graduated more than 8,000 Equine & Companion Animal Massage Technicians, from every state and 19 different countries around the world. As of March 2008, Equissage began it's nationwide and worldwide expansion of satellite teaching locations. Equissage's main concern for excellence in the teaching of equine massage and the desire to make the program more accessible deemed it necessary for us to expand.

Our Instructors are trained professionals under the leadership of Mary Schreiber who developed the first such certificate program in equine sports massage therapy. Equissage does not "certify" its graduates to teach their own programs. Assistant Instructors at and only at Equissage are allowed to teach the Equissage curriculum.

The facility lies in what is more popularly called "Virginia Hunt Country" Located in the village of Round Hill, The Equissage Horse Farm is approximately 45 miles northwest of Washington D.C.

Many graduates work for the very top echelon of owners and trainers both in the racing world, as well as on the show circuit. Some have been selected to work with the US Equestrian team at the Olympics, while others have worked on winners of Triple Crown Races. Read our Testimonials for examples of the success stories from our graduates.

Also, click here to watch an interview with Mary Schreiber that a local NBC station did on Equissage and the benefits of equine sports massage.

In early 2000, Equissage added a home study certificate program in canine massage therapy. It has proven to be every bit as successful and popular as the original equine massage program. Equissage is proud to announce the equine massage program is also available as a home-study course.

Both the equine and canine massage home-study programs just received The R. Monroe Award. This award is only given to a Home Study/Distance Education program whose curriculum meets the high standard set forth. Our curriculum was thoroughly reviewed and found to be worthy of the award. We are very proud to be the 2005 recipient.

Equissage also offers the following books and videos:

  • "The (How To) Manual of Sports Massage for the Equine Athlete" (book)
  • "Sports Massage for the Equine Athlete" (video)
  • "Therapeutic Massage for Dogs" (video)
