Terri has had a passion for horses since she was born. She grew up on a family farm outside of Stockport, Iowa, located on the southeast corner of the state. A family friend loaned the family a pony when she was 5, the love for horses grew from there. Starting out showing in 4-H and local horse shows, later training & competing in AQHA shows, in western pleasure, horsemanship and reining. In the late 80’s, Terri switched from the show arena to the rodeo arena, competing and training barrel racing horses. Terri now owns and resides on a farm near Moulton, IA, raising beef cattle. She still competes at barrel racing events, raising and training the horses she competes on. She is also one of the founding partners of CKT Barrel Productions LLC promoting and producing quality barrel races in southern Iowa since 2001, a member of the National Barrel Horse Association & a member in good standing with the International Association of Animal Massage & Bodywork.
In 2006 after watching chiropractors work on performance horses for years, she started researching equine bodywork as another alternative therapy for barrel horses and found a hands-on clinic in her area specializing in body balancing. After that weekend, she saw the great benefit it provided her horses and went on to assist in teaching others the benefits of body balancing. In 2013 she and a fellow bodyworker heard about The Masterson Method® and enrolled in a weekend workshop to “add another tool to the toolbox”. After the Weekend Course and seeing firsthand the benefits the Masterson Method® provided and the visual performance improvements in the horses in just one session, Terri decided to pursue her Masterson Method® schooling and certification in July of 2016. She is also a Certified PEMF Practitioner and offers Photonic Light therapy in her bodywork business.
Terri continues to work on a wide variety of performance horses including, reining, barrel racing, driving horses and Thoroughbred & Standardbred racehorses.
