Just Finished my 4-level Certification in Equine Muscular, unwinding and 3-day weekend class with the Masterson Method.
The Horses are talking. Have you listened to yours? Because they talk- every day to you, unlike humans, horses have no agenda regarding the concept of what is happening; once they settle in, they relax and feel the power and energy of life. They are present in the work. I learned in my most recent 3-day Masterson event !
Fear, flight, fight, or freeze—Do we not all feel this way at times, yet horses live by these rules? If we can get a horse to get past what they instinctively know to be accurate, we can use them to help relax the muscles and the pain! This is so incredible, and I did not really understand they could help—talk about knocking my socks off and bringing me back to reality. It takes time and patience to get there, but wow, is it worth it? Be Quiet in the energy, and they will be there with you.
I am blessed to work with a senior mare who is so honest and loves her work; she now nickers at her gate and gets in the ready mode as soon as I see her. During her Bladder Sweep, she tells me without a doubt what needs work. This last week, we worked on you can help too, process and boy, was she all in. The greatest miracle of the session was her stifle relief. I was determined to understand the time and patience, and it took over 20 minutes to make it work with only a light finger touch; both she and I were, wow, did that just happen?
