Equine Shiatsu courses |
 |
| We run a number of different types of courses to cater for different needs. Introductory weekends are designed to be hands-on to teach an owner, or carer, some simple shiatsu techniques to help their own horse. The longer course is to practitioner level, as set down by the Equine Shiatsu Association. This course is ratified by the association, which was set up to support equine shiatsu practitioners and to help maintain standards within equine shiatsu. Post grad courses are open to anyone working in equine shiatsu, regardless of where they trained. A variety of different subjects will be covered, as well as furthering equine shiatsu knowledge, to assist practitioner to develop their skills |
The Scottish School of Shiatsu for Horses |
 Established in 2001, students come from all over Europe to study equine shiatsu with Liz Eddy, one of the most experienced teachers in this field. The school has grown dramatically with branches in France and Finland. The school in France was set up in 2002 with the help of former student, Christelle Pernot, author of Initiation au Shiatsu pour Chevaux and Zen Shiatsu, Chevaux et Spiritualite.Students, past and present, include equine osteopaths, equine dentists, blacksmiths and vets. |
School News |
| APRIL 2011 It was a quiet - and cold - start to 2011, with many weekends having to be cancelled because of the weather. However, it looks as though spring has finally arrived and so we are full swing into the school calendar. In Febuary, I was once again in Finland -17 degrees during the day! It's just as well the welcome is always warm! I am always amazed at how well the Finnish horses adapt to the cold, generally without half of the rugs we use over here - sometimes without any! I'm going back in a few days time to the Horse Fair at Tampere and so that should be interesting and, hopefully good fun! Last month, I was in France for a week and among other things, we got all the dates for the rest of this year, and the beginning of next, organised and so we will once again be at La Cense and Equitalyon with the possibilty of going to the Salon du Cheval in Paris in December. Also last month, we started group 11 in Scotland and the Equine Shiatsu Association released a new video on youtube with pictures of me and my lovely tribe! - http://youtube.com/watch?v=9KwsO1vV3M or look for Equine Shiatsu 2011 liz |
