Our Second D'AL newsletter presents great news and progress: D'AL's premier class commenced January 1997. Quality assurance and control is a priority and our promise. We are going the distance!

Now students who want to do therapy on horses have a comprehensive program which will give them courses in Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Movement, Massage Techniques and Application in a 2200 hour program at D'AL, Hurrah!" Tibby Hunt, D.V.M., Curriculum Development "I have always considered myself priveleged to be able to spend my life working as a trainer with horses. Now I find myself in the unique position of being able, through teaching, to put something back into the industry that has taught me so much over the years." Gaye Johnson, Horse Care Specilaist, Faculty, Curriculum Development "D'AL is pleased to be developing research into the effects of massage therapy on the equine athlete in conjunction with the Equine Research Centre at the University of Guelph. Dr. Terry Morley, as research co-ordinator for D'AL and Dr. Andrew Clarke of ERC, are currently designing research projects in consultation with various other researchers both in North America and in Britain. While several irons are in the fire at the moment, an initial study plan will be announced shortly."

care. I feel that D'AL graduates will be very much in demand and will be
leaders in the field of Equine Massage."
