The Australasian College of Equine Phytotherapy was established in 2007 to ensure a continuum for the essential hair testing technique and to broaden the understanding and knowledge of herbal medicine and flower remedies which are integral to the holistic healing of horses. To that end, an apprentice system is in place in order to pass on the techniques, wisdom and knowledge so horses can be helped with these techniques in perpetuity.
But also in response to popular demand!
Many horse owners and trainers, having benefited from our services, express an interest in learning more about the healing power of herbal medicine, and maintaining optimum health for their horses through diet, supplementation, muscle work and stretching techniques.
We are in the process of developing a home education programme, but we also hold courses at a number of venues around Australia during the year.
