Would you like to enable your horse to perform and feel better, to overcome old limitations and restrictions and reach its full potential? In this book, Jim Masterson, Equine Massage Therapist for the 2006 and 2008 and 2010 USET Endurance Teams, and for equine clientele competing in FEI World Cup, Pan American and World Games competitions, teaches a unique method of equine bodywork, in which the practitioner recognizes and follows the responses of the horse to touch to release tension in key junctions of the body that most affect performance.

This practical book with step-by-step instructions, photographs and illustrations is ideally suited to accompany you to the barn, where you will practice the Masterson Method™ techniques on horses. Expanded chapters with Tips & Techniques, anatomical explanations and examples from Jim's practice help deepen your understanding. A “quick reference” section will point you to exercises that are specifically suited to your particular discipline, may it be dressage, endurance, eventing or barrel racing, or others in the vast realm of horse sports.

 

 

The DVD, a companion to the book is a step by step visual guide, with each technique clearly filmed and explained in detail. Jim shows a complete treatment that covers the neck, shoulder and back. He has used this treatment to improve performance on over thousands of horses - and you can too!

 

 

 

By using these techniques, and knowing the responses to look for, you are able to:

  • achieve a release of accumulated stress in deep-seated key junctions of the horse's body that affects mobility, comfort, attitude, training and performance
  • restore muscular and structural balance, and natural alignment
  • enable your horse to perform optimally and respond to your training without stiffness and pain.

jim_masterson2JIM MASTERSON , Equine Massage Therapist for the 2006, 2008, and 2010 USET Endurance Teams, and for equine clientele competing in FEI World Cup, Pan American, and World Games competitions, first became interested in equine massage in 1997. In the years that followed, Jim developed a system in which the horse participates in the bodywork process by showing the practitioner where tension has accumulated, precisely how much pressure is needed to release it, and when it has been released. The result is an effective method of bodywork that anyone can learn to use, to improve performance while at the same time opening new levels of communication and trust with the horse. Jim currently works on 500 to 600 horses a year on the US hunter-jumper circuit, and he also helped members of the USET Singles Driving Team and Jumping Team prior to the 2010 Championships in Italy. Jim teaches Masterson Method™ seminars and advanced courses to horse owners, trainers, and therapists worldwide.
