Equi - Motion Performance Horse Bodywork

Equi - Motion Performance Horse Bodywork Masterson Method Certified Practitioner, WS Instructor. ATS Certified Acuscope & Myopulse Therapist.

As a Masterson Method Certified Practitioner (MMCP), I work with the horse to release musculoskeletal tension to improve performance and wellbeing. The Masterson Method® is an integrated, multi-modality method of equine massage. It is a unique, interactive method of equine massage in which you learn to recognize and use the responses of the horse to your touch to find and release accumulated tensi

on in key junctions of the body that most affect performance. In contrast to most traditional modalities, it enables the horse to actively participate in the process of releasing tension. It is something you do with the horse, rather than to the horse.

F***l egg counts derived from f***l flotation tests🔬 - are a common method for determining parasite levels in horses, which can then influence how often a particular horse is wormed and what class of wormer to administer. As helpful as this information is - it unfortunately does not tell us the whole story. F***l tests will not identify Pin Worms, Bots or Neck Threadworms. These parasites either do not reside in and/or lay eggs in the digestive tract making it impossible to detect their presence from a f***l sample.

Adult Tapeworms and Ascarids, despite residing in the digestive tract, can go undetected if adult worms present are not actively shedding eggs🥚 at that point in their reproductive cycle🔄. In addition, a f***l egg count cannot reveal evidence of an existing population of Encysted Small Strongyles or Ascarid and Large Strongyle migrating larvae or immature adults within the horse.

Edited to show the third human toe is the equilivant to the horse foot. Also the horse splint bones are thought to be the equivalent of toes 2 and 4 in the human.

What a clever way to illustrate the foot of man and lower leg of the horse.

Drawing taken from “The horse its treatment in health and disease, 1909”.

They have similarities in the bone structure however the biomechanical are quite different.

I love it when I hear folks compare horses feet to human feet and I untangle in my head, what they describe, to see if what they are saying is actually correct. Flipper feet (long toes), stones in shoes (protruding bars) etc.

My journey of biomechanics is in its infancy but it’s a truly amazing topic. I had a great 2 hour conversation with a farrier from the US today, Jeremy V. He explained such a lot to me and helped me understand more about the biomechanics.

When you consider the fetlock on the horse and the cannon bone as one of the directions of force (perpendicular) then there is the pastern line of force at at angle, it’s quite complicated. At stance it’s ok. Start the limb moving then woah……🤯🤯🤯🤯.

Dale Grove, MMCP

“My goal is to have a positive impact on the equine industry by helping improve a horse’s overall well-being. I find joy in empowering horse owners by increasing awareness and education thereby deepening their connection and communication, through a holistic approach to bodywork.”

Dale grew up in central Minnesota, developing a love of horses and riding at a young age which continued into adulthood where she began to pursue her hobby actively in new areas such as the local Sheriff's Mounted Patrol and competitively in NCHA cutting, Ranch Horse Versatility, Team Roping and most recently operating a beef cattle ranching operation with her husband.

A few years ago, Dale wanted to make a career change so that her passion was more reflected in her daily life. She had long held an interest in the possibility of equine massage.

“I chose the Masterson Method program because I wanted my bodywork education & preparation for my new equine career to be reflective of my passion for horses. The Masterson Method is a rigorous and thorough program with quality content, high standards & rigorous expectations.
