Established in 1996, the International Federation of Registered Equine Massage Therapists (IFREMT) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting high equine massage standards. The primary aim of IFREMT is to support the provision of safe, ethical, and qualified equine massage therapy services within the equine industry, including the administration of accreditation exams for aspiring Registered Equine Massage Therapists.
What We Do
The IFREMT does not provide education or training in equine massage, but rather sets the equine massage standards that define the qualifications necessary to become a Registered Equine Massage Therapist (REMT). We ensure the upkeep of practice standards and professional ethics for our registered members. Each year, we conduct accreditation exams that consist of both a written component and a practical assessment overseen by a supervising veterinarian. Although equine massage is not regulated like human massage therapy in many provinces and states, the IFREMT aims to uphold the same rigorous qualification standards in our accreditation process as those established by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, which governs Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in Ontario.
