Equus College of Learning & Research …ABN 68 081 448 875.
Equine Muscle Release Therapy Pty Ltd ACN 081 448 875.
The courses are recognised and Practitioners accredited with ECL&R, BTAA, BAA and Bowen associations world-wide
The Equus College is an approved Training Provider
The Equus College of Learning & Research was formed in 1998 to deliver courses in Animal Bowtech® EMRT® and CCmrt® worldwide.
The college is a privately run organization specifically geared to the Research and Learning of
therapies EMRT® and CCmrt®
RESEARCH 1990 – ONGOING
In order to verify and understand how this wonderful innovative new modality of healing worked in
the body, it was important to be able to collect data showing: – the how, what, where and when of
EMRT® therapy and its workings within the mammalian body.
As there were no other standards by
which to measure this work… we had to create a system of research.
This fell into three aspects: –
1 VETERINARY – Working with vets – I was blessed to have Terry McEvoy a
wonderful Mentor to our work, and my uncle, a Welsh country farm and small animal Vet in the UK, Our other wonderful Equus College Vet lecturers including Dr. David
Clift, in Australia who has taught from 2000, Barry Johnson ex-president in the UK, Roger Barnard, in NZ, Alison Macintosh and Raquel Butler and EMRT /CCmrt practitioner herself and in Europe Dr. Bigitte all
have contributed Veterinary aspects to the EMRT® or CCmrt® Animal Bowtech® courses
2 USING TECHNOLOGY – our main resource are the energetic
measuring devices for frequencies and thermography
THERMOGRAPHY using Infrared imaging – study 2011 – three horses in the study plus a control for three weeks they
had the same environmental conditions. Infrared photos were taken before and after receiving a
body balanced treatment. Thermography is also used for individual cases.
NEV – Energy photos specialised camera developed by Doctor Harry Oldfield, the technology of
which is similar to Kirlian, i.e. showing energy pattern disruptions and changes within the
electromagnetic field externally and internally of the subject including blockages and scattering of energy in the meridian lines .
RFI – Resonant field imaging, in which frequency counter measures collects data on the different frequencies before and after a move or a treatment. .
3 HORSES AND SMALL ANIMALS – The third and probably the most important backbone of the
college are the horses. In 1993 Gumnut Farm
Andalusian Stud was born with the acquisition of an Andalusian stallion Talento and 3 Mares; the main
objective was to document this therapy within a controlled situation i.e. a stud that was totally run
and situated within the college. This always meant that the horses could be observed, treated and
documented with EMRT® protocols.
Our Main objective was to monitor the progression of horses using EMRT® as a yardstick from
preconception, through conception, partition, birthing, post-delivery, nursing, growing, training,
through to the performance horse.
THESE are three areas of validation along with the collection of EMPIRICAL DATA of many thousands of CASE HISTORIES of treatments from the practitioners, the student practitioners and our own research here at the College
LEARNING 1993-
The courses in Animal Bowtech® EMRT® and CCmrt® were developed with the understanding of
non-invasive gentle therapies that worked with the horse’s whole being, as well as with the body,
not only encompassing the physiology of all 12 systems of the body bringing them into balance; but
also working on mental/ emotional patterning, (how they act and react to certain stimuli and
their blue print patterned behaviour) as well as the energetic components of polarity, EMF and
understanding of frequencies in healing of the body.
it is important to remember the basic precept of this work is a love of… and a desire to help
HORSES.
All Equus College courses are geared to help the student to be able to bring forward that ‘healing
from the heart’ within an academic framework; a totally holistic perspective in Healing
Our science subjects and learning The Anatomy and Physiological components. Which were written and taught by University
Vet Science lecturer, Dr Terry McEvoy, with whom Ali worked with as an equine surgical nurse in the
1970s at his prestigious Brookfield Large Animal Hospital. In the 1990’s After seeing how EMRT®
worked in the equine body assisting the body to recover from such conditions as ‘wobblers’
condition,’ head shaking, eyesight issues, lymphangitis, tetanus and many others that he witnessed
whilst EMRT® and CCmrt® were working under his auspices out of his Veterinary surgeries in the
Brisbane Valley (1996 – 2000)
In 2007 the stud and the college was moved North from Eumundi to a farm on the Mary river near
the peaceful village of Tiaro, in Queensland Australia.
THE TEACHING FACILITIES include a stable block, Clinic/ classroom, yards, paddocks and the office of
the Equus College.
After three years of research, the first courses in EMRT® – the 2-day Horse owner courses were held
from 1993 to 2005.
After 7 years of research and development The EMRT® Practitioner course was brought to the
world in 1997 being taught in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, UK and America.
In 2008 the Equus College (ECL&R) became the Official Animal Arm of the Bowen Therapy Academy
of Australia (BTAA) world wide

They become a much-loved part of the Equus College for the teaching program.
We have had up to 30 horses and currently have 20 horses as part of our teaching team. The documentation of working with now 4 generations of stud horses has been invaluable as a foundation Corner Stone of this beautiful Animal Bowtech® Therapy helping with our research being able to see …what is genetics and what is environmental. We have had up to 7 dogs residing here – currently we have a breeding pair Donny and Betty who have just had 4 new pups .. along with 6 cats, all are instrumental with the continuing Research & Development of this beautiful highly effective therapy.
Gumnut Farm Andalusian Stud
Gumnut Farm Andalusian stud was created in 1992 specifically to see how animal Bowtech – Equine Muscle Release Therapy (EMRT) would Help with preconception to performance.
In those early days there was no other therapy like it in the world so therefore there was nothing we could use as a guidepost to how this therapy would work. The horses at Gumnut Farm have been an integral part of the research and development of the therapy and have proven beyond expectations how this beautiful non-invasive therapy can help the horse.
Gumnut Farm has produced 5 national supreme champions. In latter years has rescued many horses with various conditions such as head shaking, kissing spine, lameness, wobblers syndrome and metabolic disorders that have helped the students in their learning of EMRT and shown how this therapy can help with these ailments.
Gumnut Farm is an integral part of the Equus College of Learning & Research.
