Masterson Method Bodywork and Massage

Everyone loves getting a massage. You might be surprised how much your horse loves it too! You might also be surprised at how much it can improve your horse's performance, comfort and attitude. 

What is Masterson Method?

Masterson Method is an integrated, multi-modality method of equine massage created by Jim Masterson. It's soft and intuitive techniques help to increase range of motion and release deep accumulated pain and tension, as well as allow the horse to experience smoother mobility in a relaxed state.
