I discovered horses relatively late in life, and my introduction to them began in the summer of 2010 with my involvement as a volunteer with the Stride Ahead Equine-Assisted Therapies program in Decatur, GA. Our therapy horses are hard workers, and I was thrilled to learn about the Masterson Method® (MM) as an effective means to relieve tension and provide relaxation for them. An unexpected outcome of my practicing MM bodywork has been the personal benefits I’ve experienced ranging from feelings of calmness and being centered, being present, and having a rewarding partnership with horses based on a recognition of their complex body language. So, I was once again thrilled when I learned about the Masterson Method Equine Specialist program, and I am happy to offer a method that is a WIN-WIN for the horse and the participant.
