Kaye believes an equine therapist, like any other professional, you should be above all qualified, ethical and honest in the appraisal of your horse. This differentiates the equine therapist from the muscle massagers in that the difference in your horse is obvious after the therapy has concluded. The equine therapist will also look at the entire horse rider owner combination (holistic approach). I am still studying and believe that the more you learn the more you want to learn, and it becomes a humbling experience to realise that the path of learning never stops. I teach others, lecture and write articles constantly to assist others in their quest to reach you and your horses' goals.

Intellectually Knowledgeable enough to converse professionally about your horse with veterinarians, farriers and trainers. This will also allow you as an owner to be able to converse using the correct terms for muscles and skeletal landmarks and their function within the muscular skeletal system is extremely important. This will raise your own knowledge.

Problem Solving is also part of the Equine therapists role. An example being: If issues with the rider which affect the horse are not addressed then the problem will perpetuate.

Professional Ethics is a strong part of being an Equine Therapist. It means you are fanatical about your profession and write for magazines, newsletters and talk to groups. Constant communication with other horse people guarantees that people will remember you and learn more about our ever growing relatively new area of equine therapies. Professional ethics bind me to adhere to a strong sense of well being and helping all horse in any discipline to achieve their full potential.

Versatile because I have ridden since the age of four and worked extensively with horses since that age, I have been fortunate to learn many techniques and therapies over my life time. I am an avid learner and constantly renew and enhance my knowledge so I can give you the best professional treatments. This is all part of being versatile, not only do you get your horse assessed but because eof my knowledge across various therapies a combination is designed for you and your horse specific to your needs as a cooperative partnership.
