“If you want something you’ve never had, you need to do something you’ve never done.”

Challenge yourself to break out of a routine that may not be serving you or your horse. Do something new and different.

Stay tuned for 2026 clinic dates with me and Greg Dial - it’s going to be a great year!

Are you ready to get your learning on for 2026?

Greg Dial and I have a new series of clinics planned for the new year. However we had several people ask us to do the”15 Minute Connection” one more time - so here it is!

If you missed this in 2025, here is your opportunity. This is a great foundational clinic for anyone no matter the experience or discipline.

We have a minimum of 15 participants - so bring a horsey friend with you!

In 2025 Greg Dial and I presented the “15 Minute Connection” clinic. One of the things we did was encourage horse owners to spend time on the ground with their horses, connecting.

We asked them to be creative and do fun things - things that were also beneficial to the horse’s physical condition.

Well Christy Furman just went next level and I want to celebrate her and her mare.

You are an inspiration to us all Christy!!

Just finished four amazing days of learning with Jillian Kreinbring hosted by the fabulous Penny Reeves!

This was the third in a series for 2025. We dove in to the Equine Stomatognathic System, 2 days of classroom followed by 2 days of applied learning with horses.

This was the most profound learning topic for me - understanding and applying what we know to influence Relaxation.

Such a powerful and compassionate group of people that love horses and want to do their best for them.

Melissa Jesurun I’m never going to forget your ride on Bodhi! It is burned in to my brain (in a good way)!!!

Due to the EHV outbreak in Texas, I will arrange my schedule so that I am only at one barn per day. I will not see clients at one barn and then travel to another on the same day.

Praying for all the horses out there and please stay safe.

Sucked Back: About the Scariest Horse Problem I Can Think Of

In an attempt to. make horses safe to ride, much desensitizing focuses on stillness. Stand still while you see/feel/experience this stimulus. I hear often that people absolutely require stillness from their horses for certain situations, and I agree that being still is an important part of safety for mounting, tying and such.

But the thoughtful horse person must very carefully distinguish between still and "stuck."

Stuck is when forward is removed from the horse's vocabulary - blocked, shut down, repeatedly denied. A horse learning will squirm away, squiggle around, and naturally want to move away from a fearful stimulus or something they don't understand. An intelligent horse person knows how to channel that energy into something constructive, as opposed to shutting the energy down.

In time, the horse learns that CONSTRUCTIVE movement leads to calm - not evasive movement being allowed to continue. Constructive movement allows the horse to process through movement (the very thing they were designed for) what scares them, until they settle into stillness.

This preserves their forward nature - allowing us to build on it in their training. For things like trailer loading of course, we need some forward movement. Shutting down a horse's forward movement will come back to haunt you a million fold in trailer loading by producing a horse that balks, sucks back, pulls back, or flat out plants.

Shutting down forward movement creates more rearing, bucking, and planting - none of these desirable.

And of course, it is impossible to create contact, connection, bend, and any other desirable way of going without forward movement. You can't shape lack of movement.

Don't confuse "stuck" for calm. Don't remove the forward out of a horse just for the illusion of safety - a horse that does not go is in no way safe - it is not a matter of if, but when, this horse will react dangerously - and it is a travesty created entirely by human fear of the forward nature of a horse.

As always, the solution is learning to ride, learning to love going forward - constructively, not uncontrollably.
Human fear of forward is one of the greatest causes of flattening out and repressing the most beautiful parts of a horse: their love of movement.

It’s All About the Horse

If you are doing any level of riding – competition or just for fun - your horse is moving athletically. All athletes benefit from bodywork, allowing their muscles to relax and restore full range of motion.

When you provide bodywork for your horse, you are actively participating in their well-being. If your horse is in a training program or working physically hard, Masterson Method Bodywork can help to release muscle tension, thereby allowing better range of motion and athletic ability.

I am a Masterson Method Certified Practitioner since 2015. I am also a Masterson Method Coach, helping to teach and progress future practitioners. I have 164+ hours of Masterson Method training, and 32 hours of Advanced Equine Anatomy.

I would love to meet with you and discuss your current situation. Contact me today!
