Thoughts on "The Traveling Horse Witch?"

Maybe the April Fools joke is that the course is advertised as a 3 month course but only runs from April 1 to June 1?

(For anyone that struggles to count dates, that’s only 2 months)

Went on the website to see how much she is charging for this, and that information is obviously not available, but she’s still claiming to be licensed.

Wonder in what state evidence of this “license” would show up.

… please tell me there’s not a trick to this that I don’t know - I’ve done this so many times. And with the cup scoop for the dog food too.

Caveat: I’ve put in crazy hours at work the last two days and my brain may not be functioning well.

:rofl:

I don’t think there is a trick other than literally digging around for it with your hands.

I would guess that pretty much anyone who has poured any amount of feed has done this at least once in their life.

Which I think was the point being made.

I totally get the too much work brain fried feeling though.

None that I know of! I think I just stared at her for a moment like she had broccoli sprouting out of her ears and then she said nevermind and ran off to find that the scoop was not in the bottom of the can after all.

Someone asked about the price on her FB post and one of her groupies shared this -

…but still no actual proof she is licensed where she says she is licensed lol.

Wendy Murdoch interviewed Celeste a few weeks ago, I don’t think this was linked yet in this thread. https://youtu.be/SKWe9yPumAw

Wowsa! That’s a whole lotta “cheese” for a bogus BS course taught by a non-certified money-grubbing crazy person.

This is unreal.

I’m curious for an ACTUAL licensed equine bodywork practitioner of one type or another (massage, chiro, etc) to come on this thread and detail legitimate courses they took, hours involved, expenses involved, the relevant qualifications and experience of the instructors involved in these classes, and whether or not learning to practice bodywork via zoom is actually a thing…

I mean she’s getting $150 from all sorts of folks for entry into what sounds like an incredibly disorganized mess of a FB group so I guess go big or go home :woman_shrugging: yikes.

Wonder if all that income is being appropriately reported to the IRS…

I feel fairly confident that my horse’s REMT would a) spit nails at being called a ‘bodywork practitioner,’ b) laugh and laugh, and c) recount the YEARS it took her to go through the whole process to get registered, and d) laugh and laugh again at the viability of learning ‘bodywork’ via zoom unless that ‘bodywork’ had nothing to do with anything actually recognized by science as an actual therapy.

I tie my scoops to the handles of the big metal trash cans that I use for grain with a piece of baling twine for this very purpose!

Chaining the scoop to the bin really helps.

@Virginia_Horse_Mom
I have a equine bodywork qualification that involves muscle / fascia release techniques
We don’t require licensing as such in this country for what is classed as a complementary therapy, but the organisation I trained with is accredited and registered so I can treat horses without requiring veterinary consent for maintenance work.
It took 12 x 7 hour days of theory, assessment and time spent with hands on horses. It was all in person face to face instruction that was taken over a period of 6 months to go through the five levels required to become a practitioner. There was a full assessment both written and practical to qualify.

After qualifying and working on horses for another six months I took a further 2 days to gain advanced practitioner status.
To retain my status I have to complete a minimum of repeating a full level (two days) every year.

I was trained and assessed by the UK head of animal courses in that modality, I’ve also since met and received personal (again hands on) instruction from the chap that developed this particular technique when he visited my rehab yard because we became a training centre for the technique - day of input and knowledge that was completely free!

The whole course including all materials and certification cost me £1400

The way my eyeballs popped out of my brain when I saw this. I could lesson with my trainer M-F for a whole year for that.

Have mercy. That’s more than a grad school course. Who would pay that kind of money for something that is unaccredited and taught by someone of dubious licensure?

We literally provided her houseguests screenshots of her license being non existent and they were completely unphased…

There are Facebook groups I would pay $150 NOT to have to join.
