| Tip of the Month:
When moving around your horse as you do massage work, shift your weight first, then move your leg. In a pasture, when the horses are relaxed you will see them shift their weight and then move a leg. When they don't do that and suddenly move their legs it is often a call for alarm and will bring your horse out of the "zone." into survival gear. |

Message from Jim:
Just wanted you all to check out our reorganized Masterson Method Website We've added more pages of in depth information about our Weekend Seminar-Workshops, and Level I Certification Courses. Check out both pages as they give extensive explanations of the Courses offered, prerequisites and how you can sponsor a Masterson Method Seminar-Workshop in your area.
This month we will hold our first The Level I Certification Course. This course is a result of requests for more Integrated Equine Perfomance Bodywork techniques and knowledge. Take a look at the website for more information and the prerequisites for the Level I Course at the Level I Courses webpage and see if this is something you might be interested in joining us. I am looking forward to teaching Level II and III Courses in the near future!
All horse people, including those that practice equine therapies, are on a constant mission to learn more and do more for their equine partners. Each year, I research new techniques and levels of feel that help the horse to release tension. I am offered input from other therapists, veterinarians, and from observant, intuitive horse owners (like you.) With the opportunity to work on 500-600 horses a year, I have the ultimate laboratory to research new points that release tension in key areas that affect performance. But, all this has to pass the final test of approval from the horse, through visible responses, releases and in the way the horse moves or behaves. That is why learning to the "read" the horse is such an invaluable tool for any modality of bodywork and for handling the horse in general.
I am hoping to pass this information not only to those that sign up for a Seminar-Workshop, but we now have hours of tapes of me working on horses, which are currently in the process of being edited for broadcast on the NickerNetwork. For those who are not familiar with the Nicker Network, it is an on-line, on-demand, internet based broadcast source dedicated to the horse world. This is an exciting new avenue of horse related information. Many channels are there for you to choose from including; Hunter/Jumper TV; Piaffe TV; VetBarn TV all with just a click of your mouse! We hope to have a dedicated channel, the Masterson Method channel where you can go to watch me give a full treatment to a horse, or watch the latest seminars. We will let you know when it's ready to launch.
Until then, like me, enjoy your horses.

Italian Seminars
 A big thank you to Dr. Michael Faughnan, DVM, and Giovanni Alberini for sponsoring Masterson Method seminars in Padova and Brescia Italy. This picture was a group shot of the participants at the Centro Medico Equino, S.L.R. in Padova, Italy. Dr. Faughnan, DVM (far left) has a thriving equine dental practice in Padova, Italy and environs and kindly did all the translation at this seminar. Thanks also goes out to Giovanni Alberini for sponsoring a Masterson Method seminar at his state of the art facility www.thefoolonthehill.it near Milan, Italy. He was a huge help in translation and videotaping of the Brescia, Italy seminar. We are looking forward to going back this year for more.

Ask Jim:
 I get a lot of questions and requests for information via the website and from horse people who have watched the DVD or taken a seminar. The questions are either about doing the bodywork in general or on specific issues with their horses. I (hopefully) get back to all of you sooner or later depending on what's going on around me when I receive them. Whether it's sooner, or later, please keep the questions coming because I love to see everybody get this new level of connection with their horses, while at the same time, improve the way their horse feels and moves. Most of these questions we post on our Blog are issues that come up while working on horses that many of you may encounter at one time or another. | |

Level I Certification in the Masterson Method of Integrated Equine Performance Bodywork
In any case, you will receive the same training and benefit of my experience. I hate to get caught up in certificates and credentials, when I started with none of them myself, but since I am now offering one, I guess I have to take it more seriously. With this method of bodywork your true certification is ultimately issued by the horse!
