About your Instructor:
The techniques learned through the Hands to Hide Equine massage and saddle fit assessment programs are taught by myself, Kristen (Curl) Wilke. I became an IPTouch Animal Massage and Care Provider in April 2016, and certified in equine sports massage during May 2016. I am a Registered Professional Member, as well as a Preferred Educational Provider, with the International Association of Animal Massage and Bodywork.
The Hands to Hide Equine massage certification program is based on the approach that I personally use in my own equine massage business. The methods focus on finding a more natural alignment in the horse through myofascial manipulation and muscle release. I have worked on a variety of horses ranging from retired pasture pets to high level competition horses. I have had the opportunity to use my approach on many breeds from various disciplines. I have many satisfied clients and you can read some of their reviews on the Testimonials page!
Customer relationships are the foundation of the Hands to Hide Equine practice both online and in-person. When someone partners with me in my program, their success is as important as my own. Choosing Hands to Hide Equine is choosing a lifetime of help and support in the equine massage journey.

My daughter and I completed this course ,we both learned so much and are extremely happy with it. It was very easy to follow the instructions in the manual and it really helps to watch the videos. We are so glad we decided to take this course. Our horses definitely benefited from having us take this course and we hope that we can help other horses to have the same benefits. We already have family and friends asking us to help them with their horses. So rewarding to help others.
