I have just finished a 3 day course in “Equine Deep Tissue Massage and Muscle Release” with Mr Raymond Bove.

Firstly I’d like to thank him for his patience and genuine interest in teaching me many of his skills.

He has two great horses – Grande and Gazza, who just stood still while we worked his magic on them.

Ray even cooked up quite a few “country style” home cooked meals which were great!

This course is highly recommended to all horse lovers.

Doing the remedial massage course for horses and work experience with Ray and his horses were the best to get to know myself, to get more confidence and strength in mind and physically. I am so pleased that he gave me the chance to go on working trips with him and to see what is possible to do with horses and how they change after treatments. Ray is the best teacher I ever had while doing things with horses. He could show me a way to get a deeper understanding for the horses, especially when they have problems. I would never miss what I have learned from Ray and I am very thankful to spend my time with a great teacher and person.

The training course with Ray has learnt me so much more things than I thought it would! Good to see the immediate improvement in the horses! 

This is something you cant learn anywhere else.

"Ray, thank-you so much for your expert deep muscle massage, myofascial and chiropractic treatment to our 3 horses 1 week prior to the Quilty.

All three horses trained more comfortably after therapy and 2 of the 3 horses completed the Quilty in great shape. 

The third horse retired from the race due to rider conditions. Your therapy helped the horses re-balance and freed up areas of tension and contraction.

Notably one horse had a tendency to travel sideways down hills, after treatment the horse travelled much straighter in balance and comfort.

Ray combines intuition, years of experience and knowledge and hard work to achieve positive results.

Thanks again, wish you worked here in Montana USA."

"Ray's massage and deep muscle therapy beats muscle injuries. He spends an hour or so going very deep and goes right over the horse. Very good job. The best therapist to come through our stables. He did great work on "Pasta Express".

"Ray first demonstrated his techniques on a show jumping horse which had some problems for several months. The day after the demonstration he applied a pre-competition treatment to the horse watched by other vets and students. The horse won its showjumping section in the fastest time.

I was very impressed - He knows lots about the physiology of horses and he works very hard. I have a copy of his manuals and they create a lot of interest around "The Horse Club" here in Rio."

"Ray Bove has been applying deep tissue massage skills and therapeutic deep massage therapy to my horses for the past two years.

There have been winning results after his work. The first time he worked on "Snow Arctic" he won the Christmas Cup at Grafton breaking the race record and he pulled up a treat.

Ray does a really good job and I have no hesitation in recommending him whatsoever. He spends an hour, more or less, depending on the horse's physical condition. He covers all muscle groups and adjusts the horse's back, pelvis and shoulders etc.

He is most professional in his approach and work manner, very reliable and punctual.......Ray's work left "Snow Arctic" relaxed and moving beautifully.....the trackwork rider really noticed the difference...."

"I first met Raymond here in Buenos Aires in 1999. I knew straight away he knew something with his style of work. When he returned to Argentina in 2001 he was very busy here at the Club in Buenos Aires. People could see the difference in their horses condition and performance."

"Equine massage and deep muscle therapy is very good for horses. They obviously enjoy being worked on and you can see the difference.

Ray frees them up and leaves them feeling good and relaxed. He works very hard and I have no hesitation in recommending him to those requiring assistance in fixing their horse's problems. I wish him all the best in his work."

"Raymond's muscle therapy is the best natural therapy for horses I have seen. he worked on all my horses and I'm so glad I met him..... He fixed my horses' problems and now I know the secret to good horse management is deep muscle tissue therapy.

My horses love it too. When I was watching him work on them well I simply could not believe it!

Raymond worked on a lot of the best horses here at Club Aleman. Many people were asking, "who is this Crocodile Dundee man with the horses...?

I contacted the Hipica (horse club) in Rio de Janiero and arranged for him to work there too."

We had a great experience during Camp Creative 2006 at the Equine Massage course led by Ray Bove. We learnt some basic massage techniques and are now confident in applying them to our own horses. We thank Ray for sharing his time and knowledge with us.

"Having already completed other equine massage courses, I found the 3-day Equine Deep Tissue Muscle Release Course with Ray invaluable to my business. The one on one teaching style that Ray employs is very effective, resulting in the student quickly grasping the skills and techniques necessary to successfully work on horses. I recommend this course to anyone who is looking for an effective therapy to supplement their skills base".

As a horse handler, I have knowledge of a horse's mind set, their conformation, where to be, when to be and why to be. I had never looked into the anatomy and physiology of the horse, I had no need for this....or so I thought.
