I love this book. I recently listened to a interview and he is an amazing man. My horses benefit from this method with even the basic movements. This is a must have for any horse owner as the the basics is a very simple process. If you have a horse (ridden or paddock pet) please get this one for their sake.

Love this book! I already noticed a difference in my horse, she releases her tension and we have fantastic sessions with her.

As a LMT and Equine therapist, I absolutely love this book. I feel the content and pictures cover the material very nicely and is quite self explanatory. So much so that this is the main book I use to teach Equine massage to my students. The hard cover and spiral binding is perfect for use in the barn and easy to follow. I highly recommend and will continue to purchase this edition for my future students. A++

One day, after casually massaging my slightly uptight horse's poll (at the cross-ties) and watching him nod, relax and let out a big yawn, I thought I should investigate further. What spot did I hit that elicited such a relaxation? This led me to "Beyond Horse Massage." I began applying the techniques that Jim Masterson clearly outlines in his book and saw a difference within the first few brief 10 minute sessions. We all know that the horse's skin is so sensitive that he/she can flick a gnat off. So surely our gentlest touch, carried out on the nerve paths, and done with as much attention to the horses conscious needs (and responses) as to technique could offer relief to stored up tensions and, as Masterson emphasizes, add a new dimension our trust relationship with our horse partners. "Beyond Horse Massage" is an easy to follow, practical guide to literally getting in touch with your horse and communicating with him/her, quietly and unhurriedly, and giving them great muscle tension relief in the process. It is a process that is good for both horse and rider.. Masterson's advice works: Don't be in a hurry, work on the horse's time, and you'll find both...

This was my starting point for really getting to understand the stresses horse’s carry from the work we ask them to do. As a 30+ year horse person, seeing behavior that was clearly pain related, it’s been a frustrating thing to not know how to help. I’ve tried other modalities but Jim’s clear methodical approach to working WITH the horse, not just doing stuff TO the horse, is I think a very useful approach. He JSU’s a little of lots of different approaches, some stuff he’s come up with on his own, and some good anatomical explanations to help one understand what each technique is for.
This is where I started, and there is a ton of information in this book. I’m now a Certified Masterson Method Practitioner and still refer to this book when I have a puzzle to figure out.
Your horse will thank you.

Jim Masterson presents a method of bodywork for the horse that seems too simple to work. I have been using this technique on my horses with remarkable results. Since buying the book, I have bought three DVDs and watched his videos that are posted online. The book gives clear, easy to follow directions and their are videos available at no cost online. Until I tried it on my horses, I was skeptical about this technique. It seemed a little too woo-woo. How could just lightly holding my hand over a point release tension in the horse? Well, it does.
Jim Masterson explains what to do, what to watch for and includes safety for the horse and human in using his method. The book has lots of pictures in photographs and illustrations. There is enough anatomy to aid in understanding the method but not so much that the reader is overwhelmed. For each technique, the book contains a quick overview with photographs and brief descriptions of the steps. After the overview, the technique is described in detail. I find this style particularly helpful. The overview pages are useful in the field for reminders.
I have found that the use of release and the...
