I'm back from assisting with another great 5-day in NC. Each time I assist or coach students in the Masterson Method I feel like I gain a deeper understanding of this work. It's always encouraging to see people searching for a way to connect with their horses. I love to watch them discover the power of softness, slowing down and practicing patience . ☮️

I need some tips on how to get a horse to take a pill. I have an older horse who could really benefit from an arthritis med. The problem is, he hates the taste of it and he can sniff it out of any treat. I put it in an apple 🍎 and he spit it out. Does anyone have any tricks of the trade to help hide this pill?

Equine facial sutures are the fibrous joints that connect the bones of a horse’s skull. Although these sutures are often described as fused in adult horses, they retain slight mobility and can be influenced by trauma, dental imbalance, halter pressure, or poll restrictions.

By releasing restrictions along the sutures and associated soft tissues, we can improve relaxation and whole-body balance through the interconnected fascial system

Safety! There is a saying that goes something like " If you are fond of a horse and wish to do him a real favor- train him well" This doesn't mean that you have to bully them into submission but I does mean that you give them the tools to be able to work easily with other humans. This keeps horses safe and keeps those that care for them safe as well (farriers, vets, body workers etc) . I am so happy to see trainers offering courses like this to help owners learn how to work with their horses in a productive way that honors everyone involved.

Boundaries, Energy, and Clarity is almost here.
Two sittings, one this evening and another this coming Wednesday. Sign up in comments.

This 90-minute Emotional Horsemanship webinar is for horse people who want real, non-violent solutions to one of the most common problems in training:
Boundaries taught through intimidation
Energy taught through escalation
Clarity confused with control

We will explore how these foundations work when force is removed, and how horses respond when structure is offered with calmness, precision, and respect for the horses experience.

If you’ve been looking for a steadier way forward, this is your invitation.

Registration closes soon.

Two sittings available! I am excited to see you there!
