Would you like to enable your horse to perform and feel better, to overcome old limitations and restrictions and reach its full potential?

This practical book: · has step-by-step instructions, photographs and illustrations · is ideally suited to accompany you to the barn, where you will practice the Masterson Method® techniques on horses. · includes chapters with Tips & Techniques, anatomical explanations and examples from Jim's practice help deepen your understanding. · has a "quick reference" section will point you to exercises that are specifically suited to your particular discipline, may it be dressage, endurance, eventing or barrel racing, or others in the vast realm of horse sports.
