Jim demonstrates a Masterson Method Movement Technique you can practice with your horse once you have helped him relax the hind end muscles and release tension with the Hind End Points. This clip is from the final few minutes of a one-hour session, after the horse has released a lot of tension throughout his body.

Jim Masterson Explains How the Masterson Method works. By staying under the horse’s bracing response, this gentle approach helps release tension, improve mobility, and promote comfort and trust. “We work with the horse, not against them,” Jim explains. Subtle responses—like a weight shift, a blink, or a change in breathing—guide the process and help find and release tension in the horse's body.

The horse's poll is one of the first places tension shows up and often, the last place it lets go. As Jim explains, the poll accumulates tension from all kinds of issues throughout the body: a sore back, tight hind end, sore front feet, or even ulcers. Every issue affecting the horse's body can show up here, too. That’s why when you learn The Masterson Method, and especially on the Advanced 5-Day Course, you learn not only to see where the problem appears, but also where the origin can be. We li

Why Does The Masterson Method Work? Here's the key: the horse participates in the process. In this clip, Jim Masterson explains that the key to this method is the horse’s feedback—its subtle responses to touch guide the entire process. By working WITH the horse rather than on the horse, we can help him stay in a relaxed state that allows him to release tension. Anyone can learn this, although to become truly proficient, the best way is to join the certification process. Certification in The Mast

Light to the Core work highlights a fundamental principle of the Masterson Method®: when we stay under the horse’s bracing response, the nervous system has nothing to push against. Surface muscles may soften with direct work, but deeper release often occurs when we go lighter, slower, and stay with the horse’s responses. This allows the sympathetic “survival” response to subside and the parasympathetic system to begin releasing tension held in deeper interconnections of the body. The Light to th

One of the key things when doing a Masterson Method session is to learn to read the horse's responses to your touch. In this case, recognizing when the horse needs you to pause and doing it, is what makes the horse take an active part in the bodywork. This makes a whole difference, it helps to build trust and a deep relaxation that will allow them to release tension. #mastersonmethod #beyondhorsemassage #equinebodywork #listentoyourhorse #horsecaretips #releasetension #horsebodywork #horserider
