COURSE CRITIQUES |

LEVEL 1 FOUNDATION CLINIC: Jock and Ivana did a great job of demonstrating and explaining, and their manual was helpful and understandable. I was able to immediately apply what I learned, and I learned a LOT more than I expected! The price of this course is worth every penny and more. For the cost of ONE of my horses having 2 visits for chiropractic and acupuncture, I have learned this equally or more valuable technique that I can apply to ALL my horses, as many times as I want and anytime I want, without going anywhere! My hands are now an integral part of my 'medicine cabinet'. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. We and our horses are so much better off for it! Jock is a master of intent! I have been to several other clinics but Jock and Ivana are the most sincere and professional instructors I have encountered. They are most genuine, and I love using this technique. I love the modality and am very excited about it. It's wonderful that it's so gentle and fairly simple to execute. I've taken a LOT of different classes in massage, Reiki, TTouch, chiropractic, etc. and this is, by far, the most effective. I was pleasantly surprised to see such immediate results. This is the first time I've run to the barn and practiced on my own horses right away and felt confident to do so. Even though they've both done this thousands of times, Jock and Ivana never got impatient and were willing to show people the moves as many times as it took to 'get it'. There's not too much I get excited about, but this clinic was the best! I am so grateful. I walked away with so much!The clinic was excellent! |

LEVEL 2 INTERMEDIATE CLINIC: I am so glad I did this clinic. My horse colicked badly and I could not get a vet for hours, all I could do was ET. Half an hour later I phoned up and cancelled the vet, my boy was a happy camper once again. Thank you for this wonderful gift. Gail - Horse owner Amazing! There is really nothing more to say. The tools I now have in my hands with which to help my horse, wow. I just can't thank Jock and Ivana enough. This has truly changed my life. Lynne - Horse owner I am a LMT and have been working on horses now for three years, but I have never seen results like these I am getting now. Neck issues just seem to melt away. Before, using traditional massage techniques I could work on four horses a day and I was exhausted, now I am able to handle eight and have no wrist or arm stress whatsoever. I would like to thank you for not only giving me this remarkable gift to help horses, but also for helping me to have a longer life as a professional equine bodyworker, working on horses problems - Trudy LMT |

LEVEL 3 ADVANCED CLINIC: I learned more about the horse in four days with Ivana than I did in all the time I was at University. Debbie - Vet. She is the only vet I know who's advice I trust. If she does not know the answer there and then she will sit up half the night researching it so she can give you an educated answer the next day. I have never heard a statement come out of her mouth that has not been thoroughly researched. The level 3 is amazing, she is amazing, passionate and amazing. Cate - Horse trainer I have attended a lot of clinics, but never one like this. From the first minute to the last all of us are in the presence of someone who really knows their stuff. Ivana not only talks the talk, she walks the walk. Teeth, saddles, feet, anatomy, training she is a fountain of knowledge who has no hesitation in sharing it with her students. I learned so much, and I am definitely coming back to catch up with anything I may have missed first time around. Mary - Horse owner. You have got to make a DVD of Ivana's lectures. She is awesome! Most lecturers on the horse are promoting one thing or another so I waited for a commercial, none came, just an honest deep rooted concern for the horse in every word she uttered, and every subject she touched on. Brilliant. Linda - competitor. Ivana is simply brilliant. Every topic is carefully researched and delivered with passion to her students. This is a clinic I attend time after time and I always learn more. LuAnne - Vet. |

LEVEL 4 - EQUINE TOUCH AND BEYOND CLINIC: What can I say, Jock's ego is big enough as it is, but this class was awesome. When I finished Level 3 I though I knew what I was doing , but this Level 4 just demonstrated to me that there is so much more to learn about how to present the work to the equine. We can never stop honing our skills, this is nothing short of a professional class for professionals. Terri I have attended three Level 4 clinics now and each year I go home with something new to aid me in my practice. It helps me fine tune my work and I see problems I have had with horses at my barns disappear immediately in my mind. It's a course everyone should do every year. Anne I did not know what to expect, but I didn't expect this. it's as though the doors have opened and now I really know that to do with the gifts that Jock and Ivana have given me. It has really taken me out of the box and shown me the value of myself and how I can help my horses even more than before. Sheelagh I was a bit confused before I came on this clinic, I knew so much but was not certain where and when to use it, but now it's all come together. This is more than just learning new moves, I just feel so much more confident and professional after these past three days. Bernie |

LAYERING AND PRESCRIPTION CLINIC: The course was beyond expectations. Students were encouraged to think for themselves then having their findings and prescriptions confirmed . A good confidence booster. It was great to see before and after results - unlike on other courses. Great reactions from the horses, I felt we really made a difference. I tied in all previous information in an APPLIED approach. It was excellent, no pressure or fear of being “wrong’ helped the group to participate and share their findings and suggestions. Lots of new and interesting information as a result. ET is in my experience undoubtedly the best equine bodywork course available. Very high quality in terms of reading the horses and applying techniques. - Caroline Working in groups was very informative and helped open my mind a lot be listening to and observing other people’s findings. I learnt so much again today, especially by being encouraged to look at the horse rather than looking at my manual. In many ways trying so hard causes me to miss so many vital clues, so this was really helpful. Very interesting and informative. A great course, very enjoyable. - Maggie Getting used to the freedom and letting go of the rules, trusting my gut and realizing I am doing OK. I needed more practice with how to integrate new stuff after Level 4. This was good for teaching me more about application and prescriptions. - Shelly |

MOBILIZATION AND STRETCHING CLINIC: It was well worth the wait, it now seems to top off my work. At first I was rather scared and apprehensive about lifting the horses legs but the way Jock's technique is performed it protects me, protects my back and the horse is safe also. Lovely stuff, and my horses love it. Karen - Horse owner I have always been scared to stretch in case I was hurt, or would hurt my horse. I am so glad I attended this course as I learned so much. Helen - Horse owner This mobilization and stretching stuff wraps it all up. My horse loves it, he's in stall rest just now, I went home ET'd him and then did the whole mobilization and stretching routine and he just went straight to sleep. I have never seen him so completely relaxed. Myra - Horse owner |
