If you have an interest in equine psychotherapy, then you may be interested to know about the Equine Psychotherapy Institute.  For those interested in studying equine assisted psychotherapy training there are two options:

1. Students who are already Registered Psychotherapists, Counsellors or Mental Health Practitioners such as Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Mental Health Social Workers and Mental Health Nurses, who are ‘in relationship with horses’ (whether a beginner or very experienced horse-people), and are wanting to offer Equine Assisted Therapy or Psychotherapy services. This group has Mental Health Qualifications and Registrations.
2. Students who are passionate horse-people, may have qualification in teaching, coaching or management, have a keen interest in helping others grow and change, and are wanting to learn more about powerful processes and experiential learning with horses. This group do not have Mental Health Registration.

You can enroll into a course to become qualified via the equine psychotherapy institute website.  You can also search for qualified practitioners around Australia.

It’s great to see that training and qualifications are offered to both professionals in the mental health field and those who have skills with horses.  The area of psychotherapy with horses needs both kinds of individuals.  If you are a person who fits both of these categories, then even better!

Horses are wonderfully honest.  Horses are a great tool to help people.  This is in spite of their intimidating size.  They can help emotionally and physically and to learn skills, like team work.  Psychotherapy with horses is an interesting health area that is developing at a great speed.  It’s wonderful to find places that offer training and qualifications for those interested.

I’m excited to be able to share with you the latest Equus Education course – Equine Passive Income Streams.  This course has just been made available on Udemy and is ready for students to enrol!

This course contains 20 Passive Income Ideas that Relate to Horses.  If you’ve ever considered the idea of a horse related product that can consistently earn you income with you only having to create it once – then this course is for you!  It looks at varying ideas that require no financial input, a little bit of money or larger amounts.  All of the ideas have the potential to consistently earn money over the years.

20 different equine passive income streams are considered and varying platforms to be able to get them started.  Setting SMART goals relating to starting your own passive income is also covered.

Those interested in generating passive income related to the horse should enroll in this course.

I love to work with horses each day – and to earn for it.  But how wonderful to be able to bring in income from a horse related venture, but not have to work each day for it.  That’s the benefit of passive income.  You can earn and then spend your time how you like.

What are you going to get from doing this course?

• Understand the difference between active and passive income
• Identify varying ways to generate horse related passive income
• Choose at least one passive income stream to start
• Set SMART goals
• Research platforms to market and sell your product
• Start your passive income future

There are a limited number of discounted coupons for Equine Passive Income Streams that can be made use of via this link.  You can never start your passive income too early.  Why not undertake a course that guides you on ways to earn income in a passive manner and that are horse related?

Although the worming of horses is something that I’ve done regularly, I hadn’t considered horse anthelmintics for Equus Education. Indeed, it is something I read about regularly, too! Yet it has taken me awhile to consider it for a post here.

Anthelmintics are products that are often used by horse owners. Given regularly when needed, they can be very effective in lowering worm count levels in horses. These products are often made up of one of six main ingredients:

• pyrantel
• moxidectin
• praziquantel
• febendazole
• ivermectin
• mebendazole

I have no doubt that most people who work in the field of creating these wormers, selling them and educating others about their use, have a background in science. Perhaps it’s an Equine Science Degree or an Animal Science Degree in which they’re able to focus on horse health and equine parasitology.

For those who are familiar with using horse anthelmintics, they may be aware that owners used to be encouraged to worm every 12 weeks – and perhaps to change the active ingredient once a year.

Using Horse Anthelmintics

The current practice encouraged is to only use when needed. How do we know when a horse needs to be wormed? Faecal Worm Egg Counts can be carried out to determine the worm burden within a particular animal. Anything above 200 is considered reasonable enough to treat the horse. If figures are below this, then it is advised not to worm the horse. This is to avoid using a paste that is costing money when it isn’t needed.

Knowing this information – and how to use it effectively – can come about by being educated. This is possible through people studying worms in horses and anthelmintic products. There are people within the horse industry who do exactly this. They study and they teach others about how to use worming products efficiently and effectively. If this area of horse care appeals to you, perhaps such a job role would also be appealing.
