This is my 3rd Kinesiololgy Taping course I've taken for certification and it's by far the best and most informative. This course is the most informative when covering how the tapes relates to the horse's anatomy. It covers what it helps AND why it helps. I highly recommend it for both beginners and those, like me, who have taken other courses but felt like they needed more.

This course is amazing I now can't wait to receive my tapping equipment and practice myself on my horses!! It was simple, easy to understand. Not too much fluff to loose us, but just enough information for us to understand the foundamental basics of taping. Once I feel confident on my horses I will add this service to my business that is for sure! I can see the benefits on a horse without even having to try it, and I believe that horses deserve all the treatments and attention possible, especially with what we ask them to do everyday and their dedication in doing it!! Thanks for the opportunity to learn this technique!
