Emma’s work last night was pretty easy. \u00a0Had a manners refresher, some minor “movement therapy” testing her ability to step under herself in the hind end. \u00a0As expected, she has a harder time stepping her left hind over her right. \u00a0We also did a little Masterson Method work, which I haven’t talked about yet. \u00a0Wanda introduced me to his work because she was impressed with what he had done with one of her horses. I’d like to point out that I recognize that my abilities in massage are not exactly second nature to me. \u00a0If someone puts my fingers right on the spot and says, “Here is a spasm” then I can feel it. \u00a0Not so good at actually locating the problem spots myself. \u00a0What intrigued me about Jim Masterson’s Method is that it looks like anybody can do it. \u00a0Sign me up!<\/p>\n
I did indeed sign up to do a weekend seminar, but it’s not until November. \u00a0I can comment more about it at a later date. \u00a0But in the meantime, there is a video available: Equine Massage for Performance Horses<\/a>.\u00a0It gives a great overview of the method – enough that you can go out and give it a try. \u00a0I also had the opportunity to meet Jim last week and I’m really looking forward to the seminar.<\/p>\n Emma: Bladder line: reactive in poll, mid-thoracic vertebra, and hind fetlocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Emma’s work last night was pretty easy. \u00a0Had a manners refresher, some minor “movement therapy” testing her ability to step under herself in the hind end. \u00a0As expected, she has a harder time stepping her left hind over her right. \u00a0We also did a little Masterson Method work, which I haven’t talked about yet. \u00a0Wanda … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-emma"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dana247.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dana247.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dana247.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dana247.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dana247.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dana247.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dana247.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dana247.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dana247.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
