April 29-30: Masterson Massage Method Weekend Seminar-Workshop

In this workshop, you'll learn how to recognize and use the visual responses of the horse to your touch to find and release accumulated stress in key junctions of the body that most affect performance. The Masterson Method has been successfully taught to hundreds of owners, therapists and trainers worldwide, enabling them to open new levels of communication and relationship with their horses.

Why attend a Masterson Method® Weekend Seminar?
• Learning the "feel" of release through hands-on-hands instruction.
• Learning to read the horse. The horse has to participate in the method for it to work.
• Learning the techniques. The techniques learned in this workshop have been used successfully by Jim Masterson on thousands of equine competitors, including horses that compete in FEI Nation's Cup, Pan American, World Championship and World Equestrian Games events.
• The most valuable aspect of this workshop is the improved relationship and communication that develops as a result of this work with the horse.
