Jim’s Demos:

Friday, April 24, 10-11 am – Reading the Horse’s Body Language: Is my horse uncomfortable, and if so, where? In this presentation Jim Masterson will demonstrate simple, effective bodywork techniques that owners can use to bypass survival instincts that the horse uses to cover up pain and discomfort.

Friday, April 24, 2-3 pm – Releasing Tension in Key Junctions That Most Affect Performance – In this clinic Jim Masterson will explain the key junctions of a horse’s anatomy which most affect performance.

Saturday, April 25, 10-11 am – Equine Bodywork and Behavioral or Training Issues – Behaviors such as head-shyness, bracing, refusal to stay on a canter lead or other unwanted behaviors can be a barrier to happiness for both the horse and owner. Jim will talk about what signs to look for that there may be a physiological component to a training issue.

Saturday, April 25, 2-3 pm – Equine Bodywork and Mystery Lameness Issues – Horses, like human athletes, develop tension and muscle spasms in deeper muscles and connective tissue that can manifest as short-stridedness, unevenness, or inconsistent signs of being “off”.

Sunday, April 26, 11-12 am – Light to the Core – Connecting with Your Horse – Learning how to use lighter levels of touch while reading and following subtle changes in your horse’s behavior gives you access to that part of your horse’s nervous system that allows it to release deeper levels of tension.

Sunday, April 26, 2-3 pm – Primary Issues and Muscle Tension Patterns – How to do bodywork and talk at the same time!  If you don’t remedy what’s causing the pain and tension, it’s just gonna come back.
