The Masterson Method has changed horse and owner relationships around the globe.  Horses are able to release deep seated tension within the body, with a gentle touch.  The Masterson Method teaches you how to work with your horse, not on your horse.  The Masterson Method can help improve mobility and performance. Don’t wait to try this with your horse!  Start at home with the Beyond Horse Massage Book and DVD, a prerequisite to the Weekend Seminar.

 

Deepen your connection with your horse, by tuning in to their subtle responses to help them release tension.  Transform your relationship with your horse by learning The Masterson Method foundational techniques in a Weekend Seminar.

Mary Gilroy
Weekend Seminar

The best equine bodywork modality that is easy to learn and that the horse can respond to and be a participant. A great way to build a better and more subtle bond with your horse.

Jacqueline Garber

Would recommend to anyone who would like to bond and build that relationship with their horse, and for recognizing how the horse communicates.

Eye opening, mindset changing, and an absolutely wonderful way to create a more relaxed, happier horse. Just seeing the changes first hand, I’m completely won over by the Masterson Method. I can’t wait to learn more!

Jeanne Stucker
Weekend Seminar

This method is a great way to help you and your horse over come some resistance in your work together. You help him release tension. He teaches you to slow down and that less is often more.

Val Pfeiffer
Weekend Seminar

Opportunity to experience staying under the horses radar to effect releases of tension in a relaxed state. Not something I knew how to do before!

Horses that serve in equine-assisted learning or therapy programs can be challenged in different ways than performance horses, both physically and psychologically. This application of The Masterson Method is focused entirely on these horses and their needs.

Mark and Jim-bodywork-training

What is better than taking your horse to see one amazing equine clinician? Taking your horse to see TWO!  It will be a chance to ride with and witness Mark and Jim co-teaching, helping horse and rider review areas of their horse’s performance from both a training as well as a biomechanics perspective.

I have a bachelor’s degree, two master’s, a Ph.D. and was a Fulbright Scholar, and this past week was one of the BEST education experiences I have had since my “academic” work began in 1992. I have learned enough to recognize when I need to ask questions.

It has changed my life and every horse I’ve been in contact with! Relaxation and relationship… working WITH the horse and using skill with intuition. Amazing results all around!
