About the Academy
What is the academy all about?
​
At Stone Brook Acedemy, we offer a variety of equine bodywork services that are tailored to meet the needs of each individual horse. We believe in the power of holistic healing and the positive effects it can have on the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of horses. We are proud to offer three distinct routes for our clients: one for horses who are sore, one for horses looking to improve their gaits and movements, and one for those who just want to learn how to do a basic relaxation massage. Our goal is to create a safe and comfortable space where horse owners and riders can come and learn how to better understand and care for their horses.
​
We believe that every horse should have the opportunity to experience the benefits of bodywork. That’s why we created the online academy to help our clients and their horses maintain soundness and comfort. It is an at home manual that allows horse owners to perform bodywork on their own horse. With Ariel Urka's years of experience as a licensed veterinary technician, certified equine sports massage therapist, and trainer, you can be sure that you will have the knowledge and tools to make your horse feel their best!
