The Masterson Method of Equine Therapeutic Massage for Performance Horses

I planned a course with Jim Masterson, but had that bad fall back in the spring on the day before I was due to travel to North Carolina to start the course. I know I missed a lot of very educational material, and the chance to learn from, if you’ll pardon the pun, a master.

Masterson accompanied the endurance team to the World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany in 2008 as well as to the FEI World Championships in Malaysia. If what he does didn’t work, he wouldn’t be there. This clip is culled from his video, and I’m surprised it’s been allowed to stay on YouTube. If by some chance you click on it and it’s vanished, you’ll know that Jim has seen to it that the copyright violation by one of his students has met with a cease and desist.

In the meantime, I’m spreading his insightful lesson in the hopes that it will encourage people to touch their horses and learn more about their physical condition by direct contact.
