I recently completed the Introduction to Equine Hydrotherapy course with Aquaequi and thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was packed with useful, practical information, with plenty of time for discussion around our own cases, which made it highly relevant to clinical practice. Grace was fantastic - approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely open to questions. I never felt that any question was too small or too basic, which created a really supportive learning environment. We observed a range of horses using the treadmill and were given the opportunity to watch them trot up beforehand - something I found particularly valuable from a clinical assessment perspective. A really insightful and well-delivered course that I’d highly recommend

Exceptional Level 6 Equine Hydrotherapy Training – Aquaequi - This innovative, sector leading Level 6 equine hydrotherapy course has been outstanding. The academic content is rigorous, evidence‑based and clearly aligned with higher‑level study, encouraging critical thinking and a strong understanding of rehabilitation science and clinical decision‑making. Theory is consistently linked to application, building confidence, competence and professional judgement rather than simply teaching protocols. The teaching team are highly knowledgeable, supportive and approachable, providing clear guidance and constructive feedback throughout. The course strikes an excellent balance between academic depth and practical skill development, making it both challenging and highly rewarding. What truly sets the course apart is the quality of the practical training too. Hands‑on sessions are exceptionally well structured, welfare‑focused and directly relevant to real‑world clinical practice. I have learned an enormous amount and would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a high‑quality, professionally relevant qualification in equine hydrotherapy.

I completed the Level 3 Equine First Aid Practical day and qualification which was fun and engaging. The practical elements are always beneficial. The content was useful and the platform added additional elements for us to look over which was very helpful. I highly recommend this for all horse owners, practitioners, and anyone working or connected with horses.

I attended an Equine First Aid course run by AquaEqui at the Unicorn Centre in Stow. The course was incredibly informative and has given me the confidence with horses going forward that I would know what to do if any required first aid. I learnt much more than I thought I would, its surprising how many old wive's tales really aren't true. Their approach to teaching was fun and relaxed, a really easy environment to learn in. The demo horses; Bob and Rupert, were incredibly well behaved and having them available to practice some of the taught skills was really useful. I would recommend Grace and Jenny to anyone and I'm looking forward to any future courses that I may attend with them.

Regulated Level 3 Qualification

Become fully qualified and confident in equine hydrotherapy

Expand your skills, strengthen your credibility, and add a high-value service to your equine practice or yard.

Before training, hydrotherapy sessions in the equine industry typically charge £25–£65 per horse. After completing recognised training, practitioners are able to position themselves to charge £50–£90 per session, reflecting their qualification and professional credibility. Running around 20 sessions per week at these rates, qualified practitioners could generate between £50,000 and £90,000 in additional annual revenue.

Across the equine industry, hydrotherapy is becoming more Regulated and professionally regulated, and insurers looking for regulated training before practitioners or yards can offer these services under their insurance cover.

That means the professionals gaining recognised qualifications now are positioning themselves ahead of the industry shift — able to offer hydrotherapy confidently, attract rehabilitation cases, work alongside vets and physiotherapists, and grow the value of their equine business.

This training gives you the knowledge, credibility, and professional recognition to move forward with confidence and add a specialist service to your practice.

Included in your Equine Hydrotherapy Training:

Everything is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and the ability to progress professionally — whether you want to upskill or start a new career path.

We offer Ofqual regulated qualifications that are developed by Gatehouse Awards (Level 4 courses and first aid) and iPet Network, for level 6 courses, who are both awarding organisations. We are RAMP recognised (they are the industry voluntary regulator and carry the most weight in the industry). Our Applied courses also aid direct IRVAP entry (who are a professional association) via the IEH.
