Fulfilling the Promise

Home of the original Equissage Program created and founded by Mary Schreiber 
and 
Home of the official Equissage Home Study Program in Equine and Canine Massage Therapy Certification.


We are proud to be the longest running Animal Massage Certification program.
Our on site program began in 1992 and
​our first home study program was launched in 2001.

 
​The Equissage Mission Statement

  • To fulfill the promise that every horse and dog will be massaged because of our trained massage therapists.
  • To ensure that our students are receiving the most thorough, complete information available.
  • To firmly hold to the offering of our Programs both at our facility and through the home study programs we offer at a reasonable and fair cost. In doing so, we will make the therapy more accessible to those wanting to help horses and dogs through massage.

 Our On-Site programs are running as usual. For an optimal learning experience, each session is limited
to five participants. 

​
Another option is the official Equissage Home Study program in either Equine or Canine Massage Therapy Certification.  We also offer a Dual Certificate Home Study Program as well, which comes as a package and offers a discount of over $490. Each purchase of a Home Study program will include an Equissage t-shirt as well. Please visit our
 Program Information page   for more details. 

Why Choose the official Equissage Home Study program?
  • It gives you a chance to spend quality time with your horse and or dog.
  • Learn a new skill.
  • The entire program can be done from home and at your own pace.
  • One low price is paid, as we don't require our participants to take multiple sessions as other programs do.
  • A certificate is given after successful completion.
  • Get a leg up on your competition if you compete in the show world...horse or dog!
  • Mary Schreiber, Equissage founder, is the creator of the Equissage Home Study programs. These original programs are the ones recognized by Equissage. They are only available through this website and not through any franchise location**.     

Here's what a few of our newly certified Equine and Canine Sports Massage Therapists have to say about the program:
"I have thoroughly enjoyed this program and learning about Equine Massage therapy. My horses have enjoyed it too!"     
 -JP
"Thank you for creating Equissage and showing us how to help animals. I am learning so much from the Canine Massage Therapy program."
-GW
"I am beyond exhilarated to help bring comfort, relaxation, and calmness to the many animals I get the privilege to encounter.''
-KS


2nd Generation of Equissage ESMT's
“Business is wonderful, and I owe it in large part to you all! I'm hiring my second part time associate, and even though I've interviewed many massage therapists who were already certified or trained through other schools, I've ended up finding two great ladies who were not certified yet, but were passionate about learning and animals. My first requirement in working for me is to be certified by Equissage, because after all these years and many, many courses/certifications later, the Equissage technique still has hands-down, the most effective, quickest positive change on the largest variety of horses/dogs and their issues! I do sometimes add a little myofascial work or other techniques when needed, but the sports massage is phenomenal on dogs and horses (and pigs and cows, lol!)! I'm so appreciative of Equissage and Mary...what a life changer Equissage was for me all those years ago! “

Animal Massage

The use of theraputic Massage for horses and companion animals really took off in the '80s, but it's been used since the dawn of civilization.
