Hello All,
Last month - after we uncovered the drive-way - we headed south for our 2024 Masterson Method Certified Practitioner (MMCP) Gathering in Cave Creek, Arizona. Over 70 MMCPs, Instructors and Field Work students attended. These included Instructors coming from the UK, Israel, Germany and Austria (no, they’re not the same!), and Gypsy Merritt on a walkabout all the way from Australia!
See more fun and serious photos below.
Apart from getting together, the main purpose of these Gatherings is continuing education: having like-minded sharers of information (presenters) share their knowledge with our MMCPs.
There are a lot of like-minded information sharers out there, but I wanted to share our like-minded sharers with the readers of this newsletter in the hope that you might share them with others, who might then share them with others, who might… well you know. Farther down you’ll find links to a few of these presenters so that you can, well… you know, share it.
While in Cave Creek, Mark Rashid and I got together to do another Considering the Horse – Mind and Body Collaborative Clinic (The Mark and Jim Show). Mark and I love doing these clinics because we come across such interesting horses; and we, the riders and the auditors learn a lot in the process.

The last thing I did while in Cave Creek was to teach a Beyond Horse Massage Weekend Seminar, all by myself! Well, not exactly all by myself, but I did teach it myself which doesn’t happen that often nowadays. I was fortunate to have some of our finest Instructors and Assistants along to make sure I didn’t screw anything up! It was enjoyable to get out there to teach and get my hands back on horses. Thanks, horses, helpers, and participants!
One of the reasons I did this was so that we could get fresh video of the Beyond Horse Massage Weekend Seminar to update the Beyond Horse Massage Home Study Course. This Home Study Course is available online for online people who haven’t been able to get offline long enough to attend a Weekend Seminar, or those that want to brush up with what they learned at one. Those of you who have already done the Home Study Course will have access to the new videos as soon as they’re up. You’ll have to log back in. If you’ve lost or forgotten your password (that’s never happened to me… as far as I can remember) you can contact the office and they’ll get you a new one - no worries! Then you’ll have the latest version.
If you’ve already done the Weekend Seminar or the Home Study Course you may have experienced the following:

Horses4Heroes in Las Vegas, Nevada
Last year Masterson Method Instructors Sandy Vreeberg and Anita Chang-Vigo connected with Sydney Knott, President and Founder of Horses4Heroes in Las Vegas, NV. Sandy and Anita were impressed by Sydney and Horses4Heroes, and Sydney and the horses in her program were happy to host a Beyond Horse Massage Weekend Seminar. The Masterson Method is happy to partner up with Horses4Heroes, whose goal is “to serve local heroes and their families, including Active-Duty service members, Veterans, Law Enforcement Officers, Fire Fighters/EMTs, teachers and healthcare workers, as well as those in the community who need a hand up, not a hand out.”
You can read more about the Knott family’s story and Horses4Heroes below.

Back to Winter in Iowa
You may have noticed that from time to time you’ll see things on this newsletter that aren’t necessarily horse news; such as photos or videos of our dogs/cats (no funny chicken videos yet), or different views of sunsets over the pond or somewhere else on the property.
Last month the at-home news was two back-to-back snowstorms (see last month). This was a lot of fun for the dogs and cats, who got to run out and romp around for a few minutes before running back in to lay down by the fire, but they’re a little more work for humans and horses.
| |
January Sunset (pretty...and windy) | |
February Sunset (pretty but noisy?) | |
|
I have to admit though, that winters here can be pretty. Especially if the sun’s out.
Spring… almost
The weather’s now back to sunny and chilly - a little warmer than normal for February - and it looks like the year’s off to a good start. By good I mean getting more courses on the Calendar, and searching out new ways to help us meet our modest goal of having every horse on the planet have experienced the Bladder Meridian at least once in their life. And, of course, having fun in the process.
Reminder: The Bladder Meridian’s free and it’s legal. Learn here:
| |
|
Well, that’s about it for now. Next month I’ll fill you in on our first exploration into the world of equine assisted therapies in the UK.
Until then, like me,
Enjoy your horses!

As Jim mentioned above, Horses4Heroes is an incredible organization - doing great things for Horses and Humans. Read more below.
In the aftermath of 9/11 and with war raging in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Knott family wanted to show their support for local service members and First Responders. Horse crazy horse lovers Sydney Knott and her three daughters decided to open up their small ranch for free horse rides. Weekly visits and impromptu Thursday night barbecues eventually evolved into non-profit Horses4Heroes...

Sunset in Phoenix - clear and cold | |
Special Thanks to Michelle | |
|
The Gathering in Phoenix, AZ was great - lots of food, fun and tom-foolery! Not really - but lots of horse-talk, practice and learning. And some food. And a few drinks during happy hour. And we really did do some work!
And some people did MOUNTAINS of work, so...
| |
|
We’d like to thank Michelle Scarzone, MMCP, for her incredible stamina and helping us put on another successful MMCP Gathering in Phoenix! This was in between hosting other clinics with Mark Rashid and Jim! The MMCP Gathering is a continuing education event that takes a village to plan, coordinate, and host.
For the last two years, Michelle found the ideal host facility, Carefree Farms, helped secure local vendors to provide the on-site physical needs (seating, catering, tent, etc.), managed the installation, and helped with any last-minute needs we had. Thank you Michelle!
From the Masterson Method Team

Alison MacLeod, MMCP
Dingwall, Scotland, UK
Living in the Scottish Highlands my entire life, I have been fortunate to have been involved with and owned horses from a young age, starting with hacking in the beautiful Highland countryside, then competing at my local riding club. I then moved on to endurance riding for 20 years, followed that with a few years showing and currently enjoy dressage.
As the owner of a reactive and anxious horse, I was seeking some means to help him deal with the situations he found particularly stressful when I was introduced to The Masterson Method® through a demonstration. I recognized it as a modality that could help my nervous and reactive horse to relax and gain the mental confidence to comfortably handle situations that he found stressful while also improving his range of motion and mobility. I started my Masterson Method® journey almost immediately, attending a Weekend Seminar then the Advanced Five-Day Course back to back and was hooked. A year later I qualified as an MMCP and am excited to bring the benefits of The Masterson Method® to horses in the Highlands of Scotland.
I work with a wide range of horses from field companions to those participating in dressage, showing, endurance and other performance disciplines, and from youngstock to retired oldies. A firm believer in always taking a holistic approach to caring for our equine partners, I am keen to collaborate with other professionals to keep your horse happy and healthy in body and mind.
And my own horse? The changes in his overall wellbeing have been remarkable since he started with The Masterson Method® and while he will always have his quirks they are just a side-note in an otherwise much calmer, more confident and happier life.

Maja Stocker, MMCP
Wights Mountain, QLD, Australia
I grew up in Switzerland, riding everybody else’s horses until I started earning enough money to buy my own at the age of 20. I was interested in endurance and in buckskins. So, I ended up with a buckskin who was not interested in endurance.
At least that’s how I saw it then, now, of course, I know that a stocky 14 hands Tarpan with short, straight legs, a long back and heavy-set neck is not ideal for endurance. 30 years later we live in lovely Brisbane, Australia, with our 5 horses/ponies, mostly from our children’s pony club days. Not a single buckskin among them, as I found out there is more to choosing a horse than the colour. In the meantime, I studied arts, worked as a teacher, became a TTEAM practitioner, Centered Riding coach, pony club coach and since 2011, I am a full-time barefoot trimmer with a diploma from the Australian College of Equine Podiotherapy.
Finally, in 2019 I was very lucky to get introduced to the unique and amazing Masterson Method® by Jim himself, for me this was the missing link to everything. Now I can combine both my passions, trimming and bodywork to help horses feel better from “head to toe” or the other way around: from a “decent digital cushion to a free atlas and poll”. Apart from the physical releases I am also extremely interested in the emotional aspect of this method; the instant connection we can build when the horse realizes that we are present, that we care, acknowledge their responses, restrictions and fears and that we can help improve what is bothering them. I am proud to be part of the Masterson family, glad to meet so many same minded people and excited to see what the future holds.

Heather Shandro, MMCP
Vegreville, Alberta, Canada
Heather has always been attracted to horses and animals, and looking for better ways to interact with them.
After taking a break from riding to raise four children, she encountered a horse that sent her searching for more knowledge. She found the help she needed by studying natural horsemanship, but during that time, heard rumblings of improper movement and undeveloped top-lines. Curiosity then led her to Dressage Naturally, where she learned how to create better movement, and what that movement felt like to ride – it was addicting! During this time she competed successfully in Cowboy Challenge and Working Mountain Horse competitions.
Now knowing how proper movement looked and felt, she had to find a solution for when something felt “off”. This was when she dove into the Masterson Method®.
During the covid break, Masterson Method® videos kept popping up on Facebook which caught her attention. She went out in the cold Alberta winter to try it out and was amazed at the responses from such subtle touch, and especially how the horses’ feedback is acknowledged and used to guide the sessions. For Heather, it was like taking a big sigh and realizing that this was how she would be able to give back to the horse.
Certified in the Masterson Method®, she is prepared to enhance your horse’s well-being, offering her experience with a selection of breeds, including mules and miniatures. She will tailor her approach to the specific needs of each horse, considering factors such as discipline, age, and physical condition. Located in Vegreville, Alberta, she is ready to travel up to 1.5 hours to share her expertise with you.

Sean Sprinkel, MMCP
Upland, California
My respect and admiration for horses was ignited as a teenager. Driving through the New Mexican desert I happened upon a band of wild horses moving gracefully across the horizon. I had never seen anything quite like it before. The sight of them sparked something in me that has remained in my heart like a beacon ever since. I have chased that untamed spirit through many ups and downs in my life, and across several different chapters.
It wasn’t until many years later, however, that horses would come back into my life in a much more meaningful way. My daughter, at the time just fourteen years old, was suffering from severe depression and anorexia. It was devastating. The person I loved more than anything was slipping away. Purely on a whim we decided to go horseback riding, neither of us having much experience in the saddle. As we rode through a thick canopy of eucalyptus trees something began to shift. The joy and wonder that my daughter had always worn in her eyes began to return. It was the first time I’d seen her truly happy in over a year. Simply being in the presence of those horses was transformative. The course of our lives was forever changed that day. Within weeks we were taking lessons together. A month after that we began leasing a horse, and very soon after that we bought that very same horse.
For years I dedicated myself to becoming a better horseman. When I discovered The Masterson Method®, I was moved beyond words with what I was seeing. The effect it had on the horses was a revelation. I knew I had found the tools needed to truly repay the debt I owed. I immediately signed up for the weekend seminar, then committed myself to becoming a certified practitioner. Horses brought my daughter back to me. They saved her, and in doing so, saved me. When I enter a stall to work with a horse it is with undying gratitude. To help them find peace in their bodies, to help restore balance and natural movement, is to me the greatest gift I can give. I feel honored to do it.

Silke Molnar, MMCP
Ballarat, VIC, Australia
Having always loved horses I finally managed in 2005 to get my own horse, with the herd now grown to 5 very spoiled equines. In 2011 I changed careers to work with horses full time as a barefoot trimmer (qualified with ACEHP) and part time as a massage therapist (Equine Myofunctional Therapy).
I discovered the Masterson Method® in 2017 when doing a weekend course with Jim here in Australia. I was instantly hooked and felt this method could really help so many horses live their best life and improve their performance.
Life and COVID got in the way but finally in 2022 I embarked on the 5-day course followed by the fieldwork blocks to become a qualified MMCP. I’m excited to offer Masterson Method sessions to all equines around Ballarat and western Victoria and spread the word about this amazing bodywork method far and wide.

Interested in taking a course? Here are a few testimonials that might convince you!
The gift of knowing about the Bladder Meridian Technique to the point where you
can teach someone else or facilitate them doing it is magical. Learning to listen
to horses has been life changing and getting to practice with a lovely group
of people was so special.
(Equine Specialist Course)
It’s really a great experience…. Just incredible how sensitive is a horse.
(Light to the Core Seminar)
It changes the horse in ways you can't imagine until you witness it for yourself.
It is like magic!
(Weekend Seminar)
This particular course allows for students to put together the bigger picture and learn how to apply Masterson techniques/knowledge to tell a horse’s story.
