Invoice templates for equine therapists covering equine massage, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, rehabilitation, and performance treatments.
An equine therapist invoice records fees for complementary and physical therapy services for horses. UK equine therapists typically practise equine sports massage (IEBMT or AMT-accredited), equine physiotherapy (ACPAT or IRVAP registered), McTimoney-Corley chiropractic, or equine acupuncture. Physiotherapy and chiropractic treatments on animals require veterinary referral under the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 — therapists must have written referral from a vet before treating. Equine therapy is a growing sector as horse owners invest more in their horses' welfare and performance. Fees are charged per visit or as a course of treatment. Therapists covering multiple yards in a day may batch-visit to reduce travel costs. Insurance through the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Veterinary Practice (ACPAT) or similar body is essential.

| Laser / PEMF treatment (per session) | 55 | session |

Equine therapists typically invoice per visit or per course of treatment. For yard visits where multiple horses are treated in a single visit, issue one invoice to the yard owner or manager covering all horses treated, with each horse and treatment listed separately. For regular clients on a maintenance programme (monthly or bi-monthly sessions), a simple recurring invoice sent at the time of the appointment works well. Collect payment at the visit or within 7 days. Always reference the vet referral on your invoice for physiotherapy or chiropractic treatments — this is a professional and legal requirement.
