I know you posted this a while back and may not respond to me. However if you do, I have several questions. Im currently a physical therapist assistant working mainly in home health and out patient therapy seeing a variety of pts. I always had a passion for animals especially horses. I had a horse briefly with my sister when I was 17. I had never competed just always wanted a horse. Somewhat beginner in the riding aspect. However, I read about them and take lessons and eventually will own my own horse one day. Sorry for the rambling…is there any careers out there for equine therapy for PTAs? If not I currently live in michigan and want to back to school soon for possible animal sciences for bacholers than doctoral degree in PT. Please if you have any suggestions and or comments feel free to contact me!
Thanks,
Andrea

I am in 8 th grade and have been riding and socializing with horses since I was 6. Recently I have been volunteering at a therapeutic horse back riding facility called LoveWay. I have become an equine enthusiast and could not imagine a life not formed around horses. However people always tell me I need to take up a profession involving children, because they notice how kids seem to know they wan to socialize with me. Is there a profession in which I could work with kids and horses and still be able to support a family life?
You could be a barn owner and give lessons and that kind of stuff.

What school should i go to for Equine Rehabilitation Therapist in florida??
I’m a 8th grade homeschooler and I Love horses I want to dedicate my life to helping horses in need of help. Im interested in a career with them and I am looking at jobs in the rehabilitation field is there any type of schools i could look at in and around North Carolina I want to stay as close to home as possible.
Hi Im a highschool senior and I have always wanted to go in to Equine rehabilitation and i was wondering what are the best schools to go to for that and what are the Requirements for it.
I’m currently pursuing two degrees – Psychology and Professional Writing. When I tell people I plan to go into a Rehabilitation Field, they look a little confused. My point is that there are many fields that can be indirectly related – just get a specialization after your master’s degree or go to professional school. You should work towards membership with associations like NARHA, even if only student membership is offered or available to you at this time. Find ways to make your experience relevant, and look for opportunities to volunteer or intern – employers will view this as a true interest in the field.
