Purpose: Part of the requirements for certification as a practitioner of the Masterson Method, an integrative equine body work method developed by Jim Masterson, equine massage therapist for the US equestrian team, a minimum of 30 case studies (body work sessions) needed to be completed and documented as a requirement for Level I, phase II.
The following case studies describe horses, pre-massage evaluations, massage and findings. Owners agreed to have this information including images published to this website. Thanks to everyone, owners and horses :-), for participating!
 <<< Willing 'victims' of the equine massage and body work case study Mason and Bubbles with their owners Linda and Cheryl and Jeanne (far left), proud owner of Storm and Blinken, and Stefanie (second from right) at Saddle Ridge Stables in Oregon, Wisconsin.
For questions regarding these equine massage and body work case studies or general questions regarding horse massage and equine body work please contact me.
