Lauching in September 2026

You already have strong equine MSK knowledge. But when hydrotherapy comes up in a case discussion, you may feel nervous, curious and frustrated that you do not know more about it already. You want to contribute confidently when a vet asks for your opinion. You want to understand whether the work a horse is doing on a water treadmill is appropriate. And you want to give owners informed, responsible guidance without stepping beyond your professional scope. The problem is not that you lack experience. It is that equine hydrotherapy is still an underused and often misunderstood rehabilitation tool.

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 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.

What You Will Be Able to Do Afterwards

Hours of CPD
By the end of the CPD, you should feel better equipped to:

Discuss hydrotherapy cases more confidently with vets and hydrotherapists

Understand common indications and contraindications

Recognise the potential benefits and limitations of water-based rehabilitation

Ask more informed questions about hydrotherapy programmes

Explain key principles more clearly to horse owners

Consider how hydrotherapy knowledge could support your business

Make better-informed contributions without working outside your scope

“Should I Already Know This?”

Many experienced therapists feel they should already understand equine hydrotherapy in greater depth.

But hydrotherapy is a specialist area, and most MSK training does not cover it in enough practical detail.

This course is not designed to question your existing expertise.
It is designed to build on it.

You will leave with a clearer framework, stronger terminology and greater confidence when hydrotherapy becomes part of the conversation.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to build confidence in your skills, this training gives you everything you need to act quickly, calmly, and correctly in an animal emergency.

Don’t leave it to chance — get the knowledge, the qualification, and the confidence to step in when it matters most.

Not Ready to Enrol Yet?

Start with the introductory resource: The Principles of Water and How They Affect the Horse

Discover how buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, resistance, temperature and water depth may influence movement, loading and rehabilitation. Use this guide or video lesson to build your foundational knowledge before taking the full CPD.

Strengthen Your Knowledge. Improve Your Conversations. Expand Your Professional Toolkit

Equine hydrotherapy has the potential to support rehabilitation in valuable ways, but only when it is understood and applied appropriately.

Build the confidence to discuss cases clearly, recognise opportunities and limitations, and contribute more meaningfully to decisions involving vets, hydrotherapists and horse owners.
