For those interested in getting in to the Equine Therapy field as I was, this is a great intro to Equine Massage. I was very impressed by his techniques and the clear way he explained everything he was doing and the reasoning behind it.
An excellent resoue book for massage therapy:
This is an informative, easy to read book that is a nice resource to add to the horse owner and massage therapists library.
The Basic Principles of Equine Massage/Muscle Therapy:
Very well done. Easy for beginners to understand. Scott is very down-to-earth, yet his obvious expertise comes across. Highly recommended. The book by the same title is an added bonus---but certainly not necessary to follow this DVD.
Great Book:
This Book is easy to follow and geared to the beginner. It also has a more advanced meaning for the seasoned professional. It's a must have for any library.
