WHAT IS THE MASTERSON METHOD? The Masterson Method is an integrated, multi-modality method of equine massage and bodywork that allows the horse to release deep, accumulated pain and tension in muscles and connective tissue. Through the use of light touch and gentle movement in a relaxed state, and observation of a range of the horse's responses (these visual and palpable responses tell you what the horse's body is feeling), you will open doors to improved health and performance while enhancing communication and relationship with your horse. Make your horse more relaxed and comfortable. Enable your horse to overcome limitations and restrictions that stand in the way of reaching his full potential. Without a doubt, Jim Masterson's work is AMAZING! It is gentle, effective and strengthens the bond and communication between you and your horse. His method directly complements what I do while training. For me, it's the perfect combination of both 'physical therapy' from the ground and from the saddle." ~JANE SAVOIE Three-Time Olympic Coach, Speaker, Clinician, and US Dressage Team Alternate Listing of Masterson Method Practitioners - United Kingdom and sponsors of the TREC GB winter series 2015/16 Vicky Devlin Weekend Seminar Instructor, Certification Mentor, UK Seminar Coordinator &Coach vicky@mastersonmethod.com Phone: 07968 550758 (West Yorkshire, UK) Anne Deadman combinedequine@gmail.com Phone: 07531 428 939 Bern Easterford beasterford@homechoice.co.uk Phone: 07976533398 (Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire and Staffordshire, UK) Carina Di Battista & Coach cdbatt@hotmail.co.uk Phone: 077 668 01355 (Ringwood, Hampshire, UK) Cherie Walker cheriebotcha@gmail.com Phone: 01822 832391 (Cornwall, UK) Helen Cherry helen@helen-cherry.co.uk Phone: 07974-663452 (Warwickshire/Midlands) Holly Sharman family.sharman@btinternet.com Phone: 07739 189 691 (Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK) Julie Green and Coach julie_mary_green@yahoo.co.uk Phone: 07960984085 (Devon, UK) Katherine Harberd katherine_harbd@hotmail.com Phone: 0780-3720501 (Herefordshire, UK) Liane Smith ls@maczona.freeserve.co.uk Phone: 07791 646 287 Phone2: 01428 480 778 (Hindhead, Surrey, UK) Leigh Jackson and Coach leigh_jackson@btinternet.com Phone: 07834 761098 (Cornwall, UK) Mitra Trop mtrop_mmcp@outlook.com Phone: 07999796625 (Cumbernauld,North Lanarkshire) Richard Maxwell richardmaxwell19@aol.com Phone: 07764 404723 (Haverhill, Suffolk) Rosie Hume rosie3319@gmail.com Phone: 07786 545977 (Norfolk, UK) Samantha Naylor ganaylor@btinternet.com Phone: Mobile 07542531864 (Hertfordshire, UK) Sophie England soph.england@btinternet.com Phone: 07870565535 (Somerset, Dorset & Devon) Tamsin Bendle tamsin_bendle@yahoo.co.uk Phone: 07717127073 (Redruth, Cornwall UK) Catherine Edwardes catherine.edwardes@btinternet.com Phone: 07711 203044 (Padworth, Berkshire) Laura Shakeshaft ldshakeshaft@yahoo.co.uk Phone: 07979362352 Susanne Franks Droitwich, Worcestershire.
