massage ? do you ?

I am considering taking Equine Massage Therapy (course starting in weeks!!) and I just wanted to know how many people actually get their horses massaged ? I know in my area it costs about 70.00 per hr for a sports /injury massage and 50 for a reg... is that normal ?

would I be better off to go into Farrier science?

Why not take the farrier course AND the massage course?

Most of the equine masseuses around here in VA do more than massage.

My farrier, who is well respected and has to turn away new customers, has recently attended equine alignment and massage courses. Since he's constantly booked, if he's adding additional services, you can bet that he's not adding ones that make him less per hour.
