Hello! I am a junior in high school and I would like to major in equine science to become an equine massage therapist,I was just wondering what exactly I would be doing in the day to day and what I would be studying in the day to day, If I pick this!! I was also wondering if I have to have a equine science degree to become a massage therapist or If I could do that in a separate course? Thank you so much!!

I am looking Into UF because It has an amazing program and an amazing equestrian team! Does anybody know of any other college In Fl that has equine related studies? Sorry for all the questions😂Thank you so much!!

Hi Valeria!
You must be a lover of horses! What a cool and thoughtful job!
You’ll need to complete a certification program of course, and after this, you should be well on your way however, I do want to caution you that it may not be an easy job.
Us animal lovers can often times get emotionally attached to those we seek to help and separating from them once therapy is over can be tough but if you can remain strong in the “goodbyes”, the major reward is in knowing that you are helping these amazing animals every day with massage therapy!
I truly believe that only people with good hearts can consider the needs of animals first so kudos to you for thinking of them in this way!!
Oh — and fun fact, Equine Massage Therapists make anywhere between $50k starting out and 6 figures with experience! Cool huh?!
All the best!
