Franklin Equine Massage Therapy


By Barry Finn. Rachel Franklin started her


business, Franklin Equine Mas- sage Therapy, in June of 2018 while she was finishing her first year at D’Arcy Lane Institute. “I discovered equine mas-


sage therapy through an event that was hosted at the University of Guelph, said Franklin. The event was called Equine Career Night and it was put on by a group of students in the Bachelor of Bio Resource Management program. They had people from variety of different equine related careers come, and some of them gave talks about their jobs. “That is where a met an equine massage therapist and discovered D’Arcy Lane Institute”. D’Arcy Lane, now part of


triOS College, offers the Equine Massage Therapy diploma pro- gram, which provides partici- pants with the real-world experience they need to flourish as an EMT. As a student you are taught the hands-on skills neces-

sary to start your new ca- reer.


When asked what


drew her to Equine Mas- sage Therapy, Franklin said “I think what made me want to become an EMT was helping animals feel their best. I spent about 2 years working in a companion animal veteri- nary clinic before I went to D’Arcy Lane.” In regards to what she


services offers,


Franklin said “I provide both equine and canine therapeutic and treatment massages as well as pre and post event massages for shows. Working in the companion animal veteri- nary clinic is what gave me the idea to add canine massage to my business. There are only a few EMTs that work on dogs as well.” “I can also help put together a rehab program for injuries, sur-


geries or just out of shape horses going back into work,” she con- tinued. “I have spent my whole life


around horses, primarily around Standardbreds


and Quarter


Horses, but I have worked with a wide variety of breeds. Over the course of 4 years, I worked in 2 different companion animal vet clinics.” Rachel Franklin usually


works within a 2 hour radius of Waterford, Ontario. For more in- formation please contact Rachel at (519) 410-9035, or email franklinequinemassage@out- look.com


THE BEST ADJECTIVE TO DESCRIBE THIS PROPERTY IS "MAGICAL". Located only 15 minutes from Down- town Peterborough, and an hour from Toronto. This 47 acre Hobby Equestrian Facility is definitely one of a kind property. The 4200 Sq. ft main house was constructed in 2018 to the highest standards. Designed by a NYC based interior designer, the attention to detail in every aspect of this home is exceptional. 10'ft ceilings, wide plank white oak floors, a chef's kitchen with Thermador/Bosch appliances and a massive island with a 6 burner stove top. The primary bedroom encompasses the entire top floor of the house and has a 400 Sq. ft spa ensuite. Main floor guest bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and a fully self-contained in-law apartment (roughed - in kitchen ) with a walk- out on the lower level. Custom millwork and trim everywhere. Nestled in the mixed softwood & hardwood forest overlooking the two ponds and manicured grounds abound- ing with flagstone paths and fieldstone walls, you can watch the horses grazing in the three fully fenced paddocks with run- in shelters. The 3 stall barn with tack and feed rooms is mere steps away from the main house and includes a self contained 640 sq. ft. one bedroom apartment. A Hay/Storage Barn With An Integrated Carport And A Woodshed Provides All The Space And Resources Required.
