Masterson Method Course – Auditor Guidelines

Welcome, and thank you for joining us as a view-only auditor. We are pleased to have you observe The Masterson Method in action. To ensure a positive learning environment for our students, horses, and instructor, we ask that you follow these guidelines throughout the course.

As a View-Only Auditor, Please:

• Observe quietly and respectfully throughout the course.
• Remain seated in the designated auditor area unless otherwise directed by the instructor.
• Keep a respectful distance from the horses and students.
• Silence or turn off your cell phone and other electronic devices.
• Be mindful that students are learning new skills and may feel vulnerable as they practice.

Please Do Not:

• Ask questions unless the instructor specifically invites questions.
• Enter horse stalls, pens, or designated student work areas.
• Stand at stall doors or closely observe students while they are performing bodywork.
• Interrupt demonstrations, instruction, or student practice.
• Offer instruction, coaching, opinions, or feedback to students.
• Interact with horses unless specifically invited by the instructor.
• Photograph or record the course without prior permission.

Help Us Maintain a Positive Learning Environment

Our goal is to provide students with a focused, supportive, and distraction-free learning experience. Please leave judgments at the door and respect each student’s learning process. Every participant is developing their skills at their own pace, and a calm, encouraging atmosphere benefits everyone—especially the horses.

Thank you for helping us create a respectful and enjoyable experience for all involved. We hope you enjoy observing The Masterson Method and appreciate your cooperation.

Remember: An auditor’s role is to observe, learn, and respect the learning environment. By remaining a quiet observer, you help create the best possible experience for the students, horses, and instructor.
