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.

How many Acuscope session did I do at the Minnesota High School Rodeo Association Fergus Falls rodeo?

18 sessions!

I had such great feedback from the clients whose horses I worked on!

There were a few horses that I worked on more than once, which is ideal. Anytime you can get more than 1 session consecutively (3 is ideal)
the effects are cumulative and the results are more prifound &/or longer lasting.

“Your instruments are so clean”

“I’ve never seen him fire so hard!”

“He was having gate issues and this morning he walked right in!”

Below is one post commentary about a horse I worked on 3x while there. Every day is ideal or atleast 12 hrs apart.

I did our horse 3 days while there.
I will be in Hugo at the HS State Finals scheduling appointments. Availability will be limited.

Scheduling haul in date for Tuesday May 27th

Our equine dentist traveling through, we’ve been having him do our horses for (atleast) over 5 years now. He comes from Missouri & makes his way to the west coast. He is on his way back and making stops in North Dakota this week, Fargo/Hawley this weekend and intk Minnesota on Sunday.

Give him a holller with questions or to see if hes coming through your area.
Message me for his info.

Having your horse’s teeth “floated” by a vet is very different than this appointment, if you are still doing that, read info below.

Did you know the horse has 700 muscles?

3 types of muscles:

skeletal
cardiac
smooth

2 layers:

deep
superficial.

You don’t have to know them all, but there are several that can be helpful and come up frequently.

Some that I talk about regularly: brachiocephalicus
longissimus dorsi
gluteals (there are several)
gastrocnemius
intercostal
pectorals....

let’s start there!

Can you find them?
Start with one & then Google what it does.

For example, GASTROCNEMIUS…did you know, tension here can affect the hock? Sometimes affecting a flexikn test.

What muscles do you know or have had to learn due to an injury or bodywork?

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.
