THE MASTERSON METHOD® TREC GB WINTER LEAGUE

CLASSES 1- 4 and 7 - 10 are affiliated and riders, providing they are TREC GB members, will be allocated points towards the National League according to their placing in each class;

10 points for 1st, 9 points for 2nd and so on, at each level. The highest 4 scores by a rider will count. At the end of the season there will be rosettes awarded to the top 10 at each level. NEWLY CHANGED INFORMATION IS SHOWN TYPED IN RED WHAT IS THE MASTERSON METHOD®? The Masterson Method® is an integrated, multi-modality method of equine massage and bodywork that allows the horse to release deep, accumulated pain and tension in muscles and connective tissue. Through the use of light touch and gentle movement in a relaxed state, and observation of a range of the horse's responses (these visual and palpable responses tell you what the horse's body is feeling), you will open doors to improved health and performance while enhancing communication and relationship with your horse. • Make your horse more relaxed and comfortable. • Enable your horse to overcome limitations and restrictions that stand in the way of reaching his full potential. “Without a doubt, Jim Masterson's work is AMAZING! It is gentle, effective and strengthens the bond and communication between you and your horse. His method directly complements what I do while training. For me, it's the perfect combination of both 'physical therapy' from the ground and from the saddle." ~JANE SAVOIE Three-Time Olympic Coach, Speaker, Clinician, and US Dressage Team Alternate NEWLY CHANGED INFORMATION IS SHOWN TYPED IN RED

Listing of Masterson Method Practitioners - United Kingdom and sponsors of the TREC GB winter series 2015/16

Laura Shakeshaft MMCP, our local practitioner, will be offering free 20-minute taster sessions during the Winter Series for you to see at first-hand how much horses love this bodywork! Please tick the box on the form to register your interest in a session. Laura will be set up offering sessions during the middle part of the day; book a session when you arrive. NEWLY CHANGED INFORMATION IS SHOWN TYPED IN RED Laura trained in MM to help her own horse when he became resistant to groundwork training. MM helped her understand where he is uncomfortable in his body and then apply techniques sensitively without triggering his bracing response. So impressed by the changes in his movement and the improvement in their relationship she chose to qualify as a MM practitioner. Laura has 15 years of experience working with people, providing bodywork, herbal supplements and lifestyle counselling. She brings this holistic outlook to her equine practice and is interested in all the different elements that affect a horse’s health and happiness. NEWLY CHANGED INFORMATION IS SHOWN TYPED IN RED
