🎉35 years ago this week!🎉
Mary Schreiber began teaching equine massage. Her very first student was Debbie who was a dressage rider in Pennsylvania. She was so happy with the results of the massage that she asked Mary to teach her. Mary’s son, Eric (who was only 16 at the time)drove Mary 10 hours to Pennsylvania. It was on the ride up that Mary wrote out the lesson plan for the Equissage program.

The second student was Linda who was also from Pennsylvania. Lisa was the third, and from there, the program was born. Since then, there have people coming to learn equine and canine massage from all over the world.

It hasn’t always been easy. There were numerous people, including one particular lawyer that said “you can’t certify people in equine massage!” Well, thankfully Mary didn’t listen. She said “watch me”.

If there’s anything you want to do in life, don’t let anyone bring you down or stop you. Go after it with your whole heart. Those negative people might just be mad, they didn’t think of your idea first.

Thank you to each and everyone of you who have come through the program and supported this journey. And most of all, thank you for believing in the power of touch. 🙌🙏🐴🐶

A very happy Friday! Congratulations to Madison, Lori, Kristina and Lisa Ann! It’s exciting to imagine all the horses and dogs that will receive their first massage thanks to every student that passes through these doors. 🙌🙌

For many people, massaging animals becomes a spiritual experience. You never know where the work will take you..❤️

“ This work is truly profound, in many ways, and I feel blessed to be a part of it. I have native American background, and, Equissage has reconnected a vital part of my spirit” C.F.

“ All my life I’ve loved horses and deep in my soul knew one day I would find something that would be my calling to connect even more my horse’s spirit to mine. Now I’m finding that bond with every horse I touch.” C.B.

I,too, feel the passion for these horses, and the incredible awesome power they possess, both through body and spirit. They are so honest and patient with us as we finally begin to understand them and their world.”
