It is a real joy to follow each client horse on their individual journey. This ranges from some horses that are still learning to accept human touch and for others it is collecting numerous awards at riding club championships! Variety is the spice of life!

Sometimes life casually throws you a pocket of joy (or two). Not only did I get to work on two fabulous horses today, who have significantly improved since their last visit, but I also got to meet these little stars! 🤩 🥰

Edit: Thanks to your amazing support tickets sold out in October! If you are unable to come along then please shout as we have a waiting list.

Following on from the summer vineyard evening I am absolutely thrilled to now launch our pre Christmas Masterson gathering - a charity comedy night in aid of Brooke, Action for Working Horses and Donkeys.

I have been a little audacious and managed to lure a highly ranked comedy genius away from the fringe festival circuit! Trevor Lock works with connection and reviewers call his show ‘an absoluThe Eight Bells Hawkhurstperformance’ and ‘the most fun you can have without taking your clothes off’!

Please put Thursday 27th November at 7pm in your diaries and be ready to head to The Eight Bells Hawkhurst. Piled high charcuterie boards and fabulous cheese boards, with vaRW Equine Vetniments, will be served during the interval along with grazing crisps, nuts and chocolates! A fully stocked cash bar will also be available. Thanks to our generous sponsors RW Equine Vet and The Eight Bells tickets are available at a subsidised price of £22. Please comment below or DM to secure your tickets as places are limited.

I was fortunate enough to have an inspirational day ‘work shadowing’ leading equine vet Reuben yesterday. Reuben’s utter commitment to do the very best for his equine patients was wonderful to witness. Thank you Sarah, Reuben and the fabulous office team for organising such a unique experience. It was a real privilege to get a glimpse into your world.

Jenny Lee MMCP- Masterson Method Equine Bodywork is spending the day with Reuben today, after she won the ‘spend the day with Reuben’ prize in the raffle…. Poor Jenny 🤣

My pre-frontal cortex is busy firing away as I plan for the next Saddlesdane Equestrian Centre talk, on Saturday 20th September from 9am, in collaboration with Wayne Bushnell Horsemanship. In between Wayne Bushnell’s fabulous demonstrations I will be covering a veritable smorgasbord of equine theory and research including:

🐴 How an understanding of equine neuroscience can guide us towards more ethical and empathic training (based on research by the wonderful Dr Steven Peters)

🐴How we assess your horse’s conformation and how a basic knowledge of conformation can assist in choosing activities that are comfortably within the constraints of your horse’s physicality

🐴How we analyse your horse’s movement to identify discomfort and/or imbalance

🐴How to spot muscoskeletal pain in your ridden horse using 24 behavioural signs of discomfort through the research of Sue Dyson et al and the Ridden Horse Pain Ethogram (should be compulsory material for all judges and instructors!)

Do come along with a learning mindset for an interesting and invaluable morning of education, connection and fun. Plus the coffee and snacks are rather good! Tickets available from https://waynebushnellhorsemanship.com/.

Today was all about continuous professional development with training and auditing from Society of Master Saddle Fitters expert Jane, from Bay Saddlery Ltd. Jane generously shared her knowledge and experience along with valuable input from gorgeous boy Cruz! It was fascinating to see how a horse is assessed through the lens of a saddle fitter. It is so important that bodyworkers, saddlers, foot specialists, dentists, vets and instructors can all work together with the needs of the horse and owner at the centre of everything we do.

Would you be interested in treating your horse to a Masterson Method session? I will be travelling between Hawkhurst and Dover on 4th or 5th September and have a space available for one horse.

The Masterson Method® is a unique, gentle and interactive method of equine bodywork. Years of stress and stiffness can often be resolved in a few sessions, by relieving built-up tension in core muscles and key junctions of the body that affect the horse’s performance.

In contrast to traditional massage, it works with the horse’s nervous system and the horse actively participates in the process. It is something you do with the horse, rather than to the horse. It is especially suited to anxious horses stuck in states of high arousal.

Please message me or comment and you can also read client testimonials on my page.

Chuffed to bits to have our summer social event featured in The Masterson Method, Integrated Equine Performance Bodywork Newsletter. I do have a very glamorous clientele which must have helped! 🤩

I am still in a bubble of excitement after a wonderful evening yesterday thanks to Heartenoak Vineyard, Defender of the Taste and all the wine connoisseurs!

For those that couldn’t make it don’t worry as I am now busy plotting further opportunity to get everyone together for more mischief!

I recently had the privilege of supporting a wonderful Equine Assisted Psychotherapist in her session with a client. It was simply amazing to see the transformation from the young woman who first arrived to an engaged, smiling individual who made eye contact and even shared a joke. By participating in the Masterson session the therapy client was able to give something back to the mare that has supported her for several months.

Benefits included:

* connecting with horses in a completely different way
* learning to co-regulate and help the horse relax
* use of breathwork to relax yourself and the horse
* focus on others emotions helps to regulate own emotions
* learning anatomy and new techniques of horsemanship and bodywork
* observing that some horses can also find it hard to let go of stress
* watching the horse experiment with how to best release stress and in this case the privacy of a stable was required
* learning that as a lead mare and Mum it can be hard to find time to release stress and find a place of calm

Thank you Jane Oakley for allowing me to see what incredible work you and your horses do and how it can be life changing for some of the most vulnerable members of our society. I am in awe.
