A big heartfelt thank you to the team at Hoofbeats Sanctuary Sunshine Coast for welcoming me to share the Bladder Meridian Technique with your incredible crew 💛

It was an honour to guide your team in learning this gentle, hands-on approach as a way to give back to the horses who give so much in your therapy programs. What a beautiful circle of care: humans helping horses, and horses helping humans.
Your herd is lucky to have you - and vice versa.

The Bladder Meridian Technique is a gentle, non-invasive approach that helps horses release tension, soften through their nervous system, and return to a state of relaxation and ease. It invites connection, builds trust, and supports the horse’s overall physical and emotional wellbeing — making it especially valuable for therapy horses who hold space for others every day.

When a horse leans in… I listen.
No force. No pressure. Just curiosity, connection, and the art of gentle release.

The Masterson Method is about meeting your horse where they are — and offering support through feel, not force.

Because sometimes the smallest touch speaks the loudest. 💛

And sometimes… the best conversations don’t need words at all.

If you’d like to explore this beautiful method for your own horse, I’d love to support you.

The art of listening before your horse has to shout.

Discomfort doesn’t always show up as lameness or misbehaviour.

Sometimes it’s subtle - a hesitation, a tight poll, a shortened stride, a blank stare.

The Masterson Method helps us catch those early signs.

Using gentle, horse-led techniques, we work with the nervous system to release tension before it becomes a bigger issue.

It’s about recognising the whispers - not waiting for the shout.

Whether your horse is in performance work, needing a reset or could just do with some extra love, Masterson Method sessions support long-term soundness, relaxation, and connection.

In every Masterson Method®️ session, we offer horses the chance to soften — not through force, but through feel.

By listening with our hands and honouring their subtle signals, we create space for deep tension to unwind. It’s connection, that leads to true release.

Feel into the little things, prevent the big ones.

That’s the beauty of the Masterson Method.

This unique, horse-led approach to bodywork is all about listening to the subtle signs - the blink, the breath, the softening - that tell us where tension is hiding before it becomes a problem.

By gently working with the horse’s nervous system, not against it, we support relaxation, increase range of motion, and help prevent physical or emotional issues from building up over time.

Whether your horse is in light work, high performance, or just enjoying life in the paddock - Masterson Method sessions are a proactive way to support their comfort, connection, and longevity. 💛

Zoom in to check this out - this was a very quick moment in time - captured perfectly by my fav photographer!!

It might look like just a tiny flutter… but in a Masterson Method® session, an eyelid flick can signal something profound.

When a horse begins to release tension held deep in the nervous system, the first sign is often in the eyes. That flickering eyelid isn’t random - it’s the body processing, the nervous system resetting, and the horse starting to let go in a meaningful way.

It’s one of those subtle signs we pay close attention to - because it tells us that the horse is tuning in, shifting internally, and trusting the process.

It’s never just about muscles - it’s about connection, safety, and change from the inside out.

The Beauty of the Bladder Meridian

One of the simplest yet most profound techniques in the Masterson Method is the Bladder Meridian. It’s gentle, subtle, and incredibly effective. I like to share this with clients so they can support their horses between sessions.

By following the energy line that runs just below the surface along the horse’s topline, we invite the nervous system to shift, the body to soften, and tension to melt - without any force or pressure. It’s not just about physical release; it’s about creating space for connection and trust.

This technique helps clients to maintain progress between sessions, and offers such a beautiful opportunity to slow down, listen to your horse, and deepen your relationship.

The Bladder Meridian is a reminder that sometimes, the quietest touch speaks the loudest.

Session Spotlight: Velvet’s First Masterson Method Experience

Today was Velvet’s very first Masterson Method session—and what a privilege it was to support this young mare as she explored new sensations in her body.

Velvet showed some tension and restriction through her hind end. The cause isn’t clear - perhaps wet ground or a little too much paddock fun - but she responded beautifully to the gentle, light-touch techniques. As the session progressed, she began to release deeply, showing us just how much she was willing to let go when met with patience and softness.

One moment that stood out was introducing the down-and-back hoof placement. It was completely new for her, and she was understandably unsure at first. But once she found a sense of trust in the process - her expressions said it all. So many thoughtful, curious, and expressive faces as she began to feel into her body in a new way.

Well done sweet Velvet.

It was a privilege to work with this gorgeous guy during a recent Masterson Method® session. He responded exceptionally well to the Light to the Core techniques — a series of gentle, strategic touches designed to bypass bracing patterns and allow the body to release tension at a deep level.

These light-touch techniques work with the nervous system in a way that is non-invasive and respectful of the horse’s thresholds.

A great reminder that sometimes, the most effective approach is the lightest/softest one.
