Student Reviews

This was the best opportunity to learn from Kristen. I would like to make a name for myself and this course has given me the opportunity. I recommend it to any Licensed Massage Therapist that wants to transition from people massage to equine.

I loved this program . Kristen is such a nice person and responded promptly.

The manual is well put together and I loved the attached videos. This class has made some of my dreams come true!

I loved this program because it was easy to understand, it was affordable, and opened the door for me to work and make a difference in horses lives.

This course is easy to understand and the fact that you can do it at your own pace is a huge bonus for anyone with a busy lifestyle. Kristen does a great job with her feedback and makes sure you are understanding the process! Definitely recommend!

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.

Thank you Kristen!!!!

This is a great program to enroll in! Super easy to follow and understand the steps. And so rewarding to see the difference in the horses you work on.

I absolutely loved this program! Kristen was a great teacher. She helped with guidance on the horses that I used for my certification as they all had a few issues and hopefully in the long run they will feel better. 110% worth the money @

Taking this course was worth every second and penny. A HUGE thank you to Kristen and her willingness to share her knowledge, teach, and answer my many questions. Her method is proven and effective, and her class is so well prepared. It’s clear, informational, and filled to the brim with important details.

I want to start by saying how amazing the Hands to Hide Equine Massage program is, and how grateful I am for this course! If you’re still unsure about diving in… don’t be, just DO IT! You won’t be disappointed!

From the ease of understanding all of the written and visuals materials, as well as timely, thorough, and thoughtful responses, you can truly see how much energy and love Kristen has poured into creating her coursework. I’m so thankful for becoming a Hands to Hide student (now graduate!), and I am beyond excited for this new venture, as I follow my heart to the horses.

The horses really enjoy the massage.

I just finished this course and it was super easy to understand. Kristen was extremely helpful any time I needed help or feedback, And after just the first night of going over some of her techniques and trying them out on my horses, My horses seemed so much more relaxed and comfortable. Kristen’s techniques are extremely beneficial and taking this course is SO worth it. Thanks Kristen!

It was written so that it was easy to follow along step by step and remember when to do what. Responded to questions immediately and was very timely with the video reviews. Loved seeing immediate response in my trial horses, and excited for future client horses. Definitely recommend taking even if it just for your own personal horses.

I am so excited and grateful for Kristen and Hands to Hide! Being able to learn to massage at my own convenience and to be allowed to get certified without having to have time to attend an in-person class is not only a brilliant idea, but an amazing opportunity! Thank you!

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get involved in equine massage! Kristen was wonderful about getting back to me on questions that I had and the videos that I submitted! I am so excited to start this journey! Thank you Kristen!

This course was amazing! The material was easy to work through and understanding as well as to learn from. Kristen was so easy and genuine to work with, and was always prompt to get back to any of my questions as I worked through the material. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is considering!

I just completed the certification course.

It was easy to navigate and understand. You work at your own pace so it’s easy to finish on any type of schedule. My horse loved the pampering of the massage techniques I was taught.

The paradigm is shifting and horse owners can really benefit from learning all that they can to help their horse (s) feel great and comfortable in their own bodies….and this course does exactly that! . My horses are happy and relaxed! One gelding struts around like he’s won a first place ribbon! Kirsten was kind, encouraging, and I couldn’t have hoped for more!

Many thanks!

I had such a great time at the hands-on clinic with Kristen! She is so patient when teaching and knows how to accommodate each student’s learning style. I left feeling confident in my skills and passionate about the changes massage can make in each horse!

I have been wanting to get into equine massage for a few years now. Unsure of what program to do. I saw Kristen’s on facebook and finally decided to take the plunge. I’m sure glad I did! Her clinic was wonderful! Very educational and things finally clicked a lot more. Kristen was very helpful whenever I had questions leading up to the clinic and even after! Highly recommend this program!

I took this class for my extremely sore OTTB. It will help me greatly to be able to do this massage by myself when he needs it. It was a great class, and we learned a lot. I also needed a little extra help on a few of my difficult horses, so it was good to be able to bring your own horse to see how they react! Great experience, would definitely recommend it to others!

Saw a post on FB about this class and struggled with if it would be worth it or not…finally decided to give it a try and left there a believer. I immediately saw a difference in my horses – was impressed with the goals and understanding of working the fascia for the animal and appreciated the thorough way Kristen manages her classes ensuring that we all left there confidant with our new skills. Thankful that I will have access to not only Kristen herself, but her brochure and videos as I continue my education to help our horses feel better. Thank you.

I did the online massage certification course it was easy fun I absolutely recommend this program

I had a wonderful time at the clinic! This program is laid out in a way that is easy to understand and learn. Kristen was very willing to help with any questions I had along the way and organized a clinic that was not only fun, but very educational! I would highly recommend this program and Kristen to anyone looking to farther their equine education! Hands down, this was the best decision I have made to better the wellness of my equine partners!

I have been wanting to learn how to massage horses for a very long time! Let me tell you the class did not disappoint. Her teaching style is super easy to follow. I’m excited to take my new found knowledge and go help lots of horses!

I wanted to learn equine massage and had saw a post on FB about her hosting a hands on clinic and where you would receive your certification! Kristen. was amazing to work with from getting signed up for the class, to the materials to the class itself. It was very hands on and if you had many questions Kristen was more than willing to help and offer advice. Her program is definitely one worth attending and receiving your certification. I highly recommend Kristen and her Hands to Hide program.

I have had my horse massaged in the past but she moved out of state and can no longer do him. On a crazy idea and whim to just do him myself but also others as well. As I have gotten older it wasn’t so much about riding and training but how to help feel better. I enjoy the calm and relaxing vibes of releasing tension and no better way than giving them a nice relaxing massage. Now I can start taking on clients that have been waiting for me to finish with my program and become certified. The course was easy to understand and follow, the critiques to make myself better was very insightful to make sure I can do my best for the clients and their horses.

When I decided to take a class to get certified in equine massage there were several options, some closer than others. After research I decided to go with Hands to Hide. Kristen was awesome and helpful from the first time I reached out.

I did her on line coarse, which was very easy to understand and process. I felt like I wanted/needed hands on just to make sure I was doing everything properly and I’m a hands on person. Kristen gladly agreed for me to come down even though it was a holiday weekend. I was nervous studying while we traveled the 2 days to get there. Kristen was a pleasure to work with! When I met her in person all my fears and insecurities melted away. She was so very helpful . I gained a friend and a lifetime of learning and a mentor. I highly recommend Kristen to anyone thinking of taking a coarse in equine massage .

I was very impressed with Kristen massage therapy program. The material and the videos she provided helped me understand more about the equine body. Also, with the techniques and tips she gave me helped me along the way to perform the massages more efficiently and effectively. I am very happy that I got certified and I would recommend this program to any horse owner or trainer. Thank you again for the opportunity Kristen!

I did the online certification course with Kristen. I was lucky enough to live close enough so if needed I was able meet with her for additional help. I can’t say enough about how helpful she is and will continue to be. Everything is explained very well and easy to understand. If your looking to get certified I highly recommend Kristen at Hands to Hide!

Get a lot of great releases with theses techniques. Very helpful and extremely nice if you need any help.

Since completing your program I have been taking on more clients and am currently speaking with an equine therapy program about working on their equine teams at two different facilities. I am so incredibly grateful for your program and what it has given to me over the last few months. The satisfaction of working with horses to make them feel their best is one that I can’t compare to anything else. Your program provided a beautiful base session that is so easily adjusted to each individual horse that I come in contact with. From seniors getting a spring back in their step to competition mounts improving in the arena, the positive impact this training has helped me make around my barn has been amazing. I look forward to growing my practice and can not wait to share my journey with you. Thank you for your incredible student to teacher communication. Your response times far exceeded my expectations and your feedback was wonderful.
