I highly recommend Diana Thompson’s Acupressure Methods for Horses Online Course. I’ve been amazed at the positive influence acupressure has had on the health of my horses as I’ve progressed through the class. I consider Diana’s course to be one of the very best investments I’ve made in the health and happiness of my horses!
Thanks to Diana’s wonderfully clear and well organized teaching in the Online Course you will quickly learn how to support your horse’s health with acupressure. Diana teaches about points that help support the physical and emotional wellness of your horse and assist in recovery from injury or illness. She also demonstrates how to find and work on points that can be used during emergencies while waiting for veterinary help.
For those who have no previous experience with acupressure, Diana’s initial lessons and videos address everything you need to know. She shows you how to stand, breathe, and other practical and safety concerns. Videos of Diana doing acupressure on different horses clearly show and explain how to interpret the horse’s responses during your session.
The textbook explains the benefits of the acupressure points and the charts and video lessons demonstrate how to locate the points on the horse. The course material is so clear and comprehensive that you will be able to confidently begin doing acupressure with your horse, while continuing to learn more techniques and acupressure points as the course progresses.
Acupressure Help for My Injured Horse
Not long after I started the Online Course one of my horses began to exhibit signs of sacroiliac issues. He had this issue before, so I recognized the change in his gaits, and the need for chiropractic assistance. In the past, this issue did not resolve or improve without intervention, and on one occasion the sacroiliac problem was followed by a shoulder injury.
Since there was going to be a long wait for the chiropractor I was very concerned about further injury. I began doing acupressure focused on tendon and ligament support, and sent a question to Diana through the Online Course Question and Answer page. I asked her advice on how else to help him.
Diana’s reply was an incredibly comprehensive guide to the specific points that support tendon and ligament health. She explained how to use acupressure after an injury to facilitate healing and as part of a wellness program to prevent injury. After a few sessions of acupressure my horse’s gaits normalized.
When the chiropractor saw my horse he was able to easily adjust the sacroiliac joint. He commented on this ease of adjustment as that is not always the case with my horse. When I mentioned the acupressure the chiropractor said he felt it greatly helped to prevent tightness and allowed for successful adjustments. It was such a relief to be able to help my horse in his recovery and to reduce the chance of secondary injuries!
Diana posts questions with her answers and student case studies in the Online Course classroom. This material provides an excellent opportunity to learn from other students and be inspired by their acupressure success.
When reading Diana’s website bio prior to taking the class, I was most impressed that much of her expertise was attained while searching for ways to help horses with very challenging issues. Her devotion to helping as many horses as possible is evident in the Online Course, both in the excellent materials and her time and care in answering student questions. The opportunity to learn from someone with her incredible depth of knowledge is invaluable.

I’ve been using Diana’s acupressure techniques from her Online Course with astounding success on my own small herd of five and the 62 equines at a local rescue in Olathe, Colorado, where I am barn manager.
This is a rather conservative part of the world, and I am a healthy skeptic. But the “proof is in the pudding”, and the equines have resoundingly endorsed this method of healing. My mule, the toughest, roughest guy around, melts under acupressure. Many thanks and much appreciation from me and all my 4-legged friends.
