Jim Masterson Explains How the Masterson Method works. By staying under the horse’s bracing response, this gentle approach helps release tension, improve mobility, and promote comfort and trust. “We work with the horse, not against them,” Jim explains. Subtle responses—like a weight shift, a blink, or a change in breathing—guide the process and help find and release tension in the horse's body.

In this clip, Jim Masterson shares the essence of the Masterson Method® — using gentle touch and close observation to follow the horse’s subtle responses: a blink, a breath, a yawn. These small signs guide us to areas of tension and help the horse release, soften, and return to a more comfortable state of being. It’s not just about relaxation — it’s about improving comfort, performance, and trust through quiet, intentional connection. For many of us who’ve spent years in the horse world, there c

Jim demonstrates a Masterson Method Movement Technique you can practice with your horse once you have helped him relax the hind end muscles and release tension with the Hind End Points. This clip is from the final few minutes of a one-hour session, after the horse has released a lot of tension throughout his body. By this point, the horse is very comfortable with Jim because he understands that Jim is reading his responses and softening when necessary to keep him relaxed. The Hind Leg Release in

Why Wednesday ~ I enjoy practicing The Masterson Method with my horse, but I don’t always have a lot of time. What’s one Masterson Method technique I can do that helps improve overall performance? Answer: The Scapula Release technique encourages the shoulder blade to drop and move freely, easing tension in the muscles that connect the forelimb, neck, and withers. This helps increase flexibility in the front legs, improves shock absorption through the shoulders, and allows for smoother, more coor

Light to the Core work highlights a fundamental principle of the Masterson Method®: when we stay under the horse’s bracing response, the nervous system has nothing to push against. Surface muscles may soften with direct work, but deeper release often occurs when we go lighter, slower, and stay with the horse’s responses. This allows the sympathetic “survival” response to subside and the parasympathetic system to begin releasing tension held in deeper interconnections of the body. The Light to th

Why Wednesday ~ How does the Scapula Release help the horse? Enjoy this video of Jim demonstrating the Scapula Release Down and Forward which releases tension in the neck-shoulder-withers junction. This technique is different from a stretch in that we are asking the leg to relax down instead of stretching the muscles out. “I start by standing in front of the horse, in close and supporting the weight of the leg. I don’t want to be too far out, I want to be in close as I hold the leg and gently br

Instructor Kalin Finsand is doing the Sternum and Pectoral Points Techniques with Ecco, a rescue Dogo Argentino who is deaf and also a medical service dog at Portland State University for detection of the onset of migraines. To search for these points along the sternum, you need to run your fingers from the front of the base of the neck down the middle of the dog’s chest. You’ll feel a bump or protuberance in the middle of the chest directly between the two points of the shoulder. This bump is t

Why Wednesday ~ My horse tends to feel tight through the shoulders when bending in both directions, especially to the right. After training, I like to do some Masterson Method® techniques, but when I try the Under the Scapula Technique, he tosses his head. What can I do to help him relax during this technique? Answer: The Under the Scapula Technique is a wonderful way to help a horse let go of shoulder tension because it works on the deeper muscles that affect how the front legs, neck, and back

Why Wednesday ~ My horse tends to put a lot of his weight on the forehand when we ride and he has quite a lot of tension in his shoulders. I am working with him to teach him to put more of his weight behind but in the meantime, which Masterson Method Technique would you recommend to help him release tension in that area? Answer: Many horses tend to put more weight on the front end and when riding which can create accumulated tension around the shoulder area. Horses benefit in all areas after loo

Why Wednesday: My horse has a lot of tension in the poll. While he's more or less comfortable when I do the Lateral Cervical Flexion Technique, he won’t relax when I try the Head Up Technique and ask him to rest his head on my shoulder. Any tips for helping him with this? Answer: Some horses relax easily into this position, while others stay tense. Since your horse can relax during the Lateral Cervical Flexion Technique, try approaching the Head Up Technique this way: 🔹Start with the Lateral Ce

Why Wednesday: My horse doesn’t seem comfortable when I try the Head Up Technique—he resists resting his head on my shoulder. What can I do to help him release tension in the poll? Answer: It’s not unusual for horses to hold deep tension in the poll and feel unsure when asked to rest their head in an elevated, supported position. If your horse struggles to settle here, try approaching it through techniques he already knows and trusts: 🔹 Start with the Lateral Cervical Flexion Technique on his e
