Kinesiology taping has become an increasingly valuable tool within equine therapy, offering support for performance, recovery, and rehabilitation when applied with precision and clinical understanding. But effective taping goes beyond application—it requires the ability to assess the horse, understand dysfunction, and make informed decisions.
This comprehensive Level 5 programme provides a structured and clinically focused approach to equine kinesiology taping. Through a blend of online learning and hands-on clinical intensives, you will explore how taping interacts with the horse’s skin, fascia, and neuromuscular systems, and how it can be used to influence movement, reduce discomfort, and support functional improvement.
You will develop the ability to assess movement, identify restrictions, and apply tailored taping strategies based on individual presentation. With a strong emphasis on clinical reasoning, case-based learning, and real-world application, this course prepares you to integrate taping confidently into rehabilitation and performance programmes.
As demand continues to grow for practitioners who can apply advanced, evidence-informed techniques, this programme is designed to position you at the forefront of equine therapy practice.
Equi-Ed delivers this programme through a blended learning format, combining online study with in-person clinical intensives to ensure both flexibility and practical competence.
The course is structured over approximately 6 months and includes:
Phase 1 (Months 1–4):
– Online learning modules and recorded lectures
– In-person Clinical Intensives with hands-on training
– Development of core taping skills and assessment techniques
Phase 2 (Months 4–6):
– Distance learning and independent study
– Case study development and clinical application
– Assignment completion and assessment preparation
Throughout the programme, learners will engage in:
– Structured online learning
– Practical application with real horses
– Case-based learning and reflective practice
– Ongoing tutor support and feedback
Assessment includes written assignments, case studies, and practical evaluation. Upon successful completion, participants will receive a recognised Level 5 qualification in Equine Kinesiology Taping & Clinical Application.
If you’re looking to expand your clinical skillset and deepen your understanding of equine therapy, this course is designed for you. It is particularly suited to equine massage therapists, bodyworkers, rehabilitation practitioners, and professionals working within performance or multidisciplinary settings.
You’ll gain a structured, clinically focused education that builds both your hands-on ability and your decision-making skills. The blended learning format allows you to study flexibly while still benefiting from in-person practical training with real horses.
This course is ideal for:
– Practitioners wanting to integrate kinesiology taping into their existing services
– Therapists looking to strengthen their clinical reasoning and assessment skills
– Equine professionals involved in rehabilitation or performance support
– Dedicated horse owners seeking a deeper, evidence-based understanding of taping
Whether you are looking to enhance your current practice or progress into more advanced training, this programme provides a clear and professional pathway forward.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
– Assess equine movement and identify areas of dysfunction and restriction
– Apply kinesiology taping across key anatomical regions with purpose and precision
– Understand how taping influences fascia, muscle function, and neurological systems
– Integrate taping into rehabilitation and performance programmes
– Make informed clinical decisions based on assessment findings
– Evaluate outcomes and adapt treatment strategies accordingly
Develop your ability to apply taping not just as a technique, but as part of a structured, evidence-informed clinical approach.
Participants usually strive to finish the program in 6 months. This approach enables a manageable pace that can be easily integrated with other work and life responsibilities.
