INTERNATIONAL

The International Equine Body Worker Association, or IEBWA, was founded to serve as a central and focal point for both student and graduate Equine Body Workers from around the world. Membership of the IEBWA is only considered if the member in question carries full indemnity insurance, which in turn protects and benefits the horse, the client, the Body Worker and the profession as a whole.

By law, it is a requirement that all Equine Body Workers practice under veterinary referral and/or approval. Professional ethics, which include obtaining veterinary approval, are strongly emphasised within the IEBWA.

Each member is required to carry out a specified number of hours of continued professional education during the calendar year of membership. In this way we ensure that our members are actively interested in maintaining and enhancing their skills and knowledge within their chosen profession.

Members of the IEBWA can be recognised on the list of Equine Body Workers by the small IEBWA logo behind their name. Thus, when looking for a graduate Body Worker in a specific area, active members of the IEBWA are easy to recognise.

Some further points of interest regarding the International Equine Body Worker Association:

The Association serves as a centralised regulatory body for its members, it promotes the Equine Body Worker modality within the professional community and acts as a focal point for communication between members.

The Association acts as a supporting and advisory service where issues regarding working practises, questions regarding continuing education and any other relevant issues surrounding the profession can be discussed.
A newsletter is produced on a bi-annual basis, this includes information from the overseas branches of Equinology: this is the member’s opportunity to share views, information and suggestions with fellow members and includes educational updates and news on promotions.
