Beyond Horse Massage: A Breakthrough Interactive Method for Alleviating Soreness, Strain, and Tension

Masterson Method works! My horses will agree. The book is super clear in its instructions and together with the videos (which you can watch on youtube) cover pretty much all the points you might not quite understand or have questions about.My relationship with my horse has turned a corner this is exactly what I have been looking for…. a non invasive but effective means of communication with my horse that offers him the chance to trust me and release tension.

Very clear and easy to follow, have been using this method on my two horses and can see the releases and visible improvement. Both horses seem to really enjoy it. One of my horses, who is in rehab for a long term lameness, was very stiff and braced to start with so was quite resistant on the first attempt, but he now loves it and is much freer and softer in his muscles and moving better. Am recommending to all my friends. It is also a lovely way to build up your bond with your horses, spending slow quiet time with them with this very very gentle and effective technique.

I already had the DVD and was worried about overlap, but this is a wonderful complement (or stand alone). Beautifully produced with explanatory photos, written in good, clear English, with plenty of tips and examples. Outstanding value for money. Goes into more depth than the DVD, though a few moves that were in the DVD aren't in the book (TMJ, pectorals, tail rocking, back stretch of the hind leg). If you can't get to a Masterson workshop, get both. Your horse will love you for releasing the tension so gently.

I found this book really informative and useful. I learned so much and no doubt will re-read it several times in the future.

my first massage book, very well done very easy to understand knowing that I am not an osteopath or veterinarian but just a simple rider This book has been very useful to me my horses are delighted
