“The proof is in the pudding… the method works! The book and video are clear and
simple to follow. If your horse has chronic muscle tension either from old injuries, habit
or some other cause, this is the method to try. The results are excellent.”
~Joan McLaren
One of the most interesting methods around. Greatly helped a young Clydesdale that we had. Recommend it to anyone that has a horse with soundness issues or is stiff on any part of their body.
It’s a very friendly and soft yet very powerful method that helps the horse to soften on a deep level and to return to movement from the little muscles around the spine instead of the bigger movement muscles. I have seen huge improvement when the method is applied working together with chiropractic/craniosacral adjustment/treatment. With some time in between, of course. Love it!
“The changes in the horses physically is quite amazing when working with this method. Watching a horse relax and release is exciting. So happy I found another way to connect with my horses!”
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!
Softening my hands was challenging. I’ve been going around with fists all the time and didn’t even know it.
Smokey seemed to have a smile on his face as he licked & chewed. As he was relaxing, I felt myself relaxing and enjoying the feedback from him. This was a true give & take experience. By my feeling his willingness & calmness, I became calm. I was able to give him a ‘softer hand’ delivery (w/o tension in my body.) I believe my demeanor w/this treatment was at a higher ‘tuned’ frequency.
I think when you give, you get something back, as long as the intent is pure. I think about some of the kiddos I’ve mentored or worked with, and the idea that they would be important enough to make a difference in a horse’s life has dramatic effects on them for a variety of reasons. That they have something to offer. The horse helps them believe in themselves.
The MMES training was wonderful! I went back to [the barn] yesterday and had three horses, and the training I received this weekend really helped me connect more [with the horse] and go even softer during my sessions. I just loved the training. What an awesome program MMES really is!
