On days when it’s too hot and sticky to ride, I think of other ways to spend time with the horses. This video from Jim Masterson was in my inbox today. It’s a great (and simple) technique to help your horse release tension. If you are not yet familiar with the Masterson Method, you should check out his YouTube Channel for more videos.

I have heard so many people in the horse industry talk about the benefits of this method. It is really gaining popularity.
I think there’s a lot of benefit to putting your hands on your horse as often as possible. Once you start to know where they hold tension, you can determine if there’s a problem or whether sensitivities are normal. I use a lot of the Masterson Method techniques.
