Adult Onset Horsemanship's last episode of the year is live! Ep. 69 has my good friend Jim Masterson, or The Masterson Method, Integrated Equine Performance Bodywork, flipping the script. He interviews me and even brought his own sponsor. Check it out!
Meeting Jim has been one of the pivotal moments in my career. Just this year he had me present at his North America Gathering in Phoenix, and also at the International Gathering in the UK. Shout out to his team too, who make those things run like butter and especially Lil Miss Vicky.
I hope y'all enjoy the flipped script and you'll learn a little more about me and what makes me tick.
The pic is from the Gathering in Phoenix where I also met Jim's wife, Conley (pictured). She was the other early riser so we had coffee well before the others arose every morning. I'd like to share a few more cups with her in the future too. Cool guy has a cool wife.

Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas: What’s On Your Horse’s Holiday Wishlist?

If your horse could write a letter to Santa🎅, what would they ask for? Maybe they’d wish for a warm, cozy blanket to get through the hard winter temperatures, a big stash of their favorite treats, or more time to play with their horse friends. Or perhaps their wish is simply for more quality time with you—whether it’s long grooming sessions, peaceful trail rides, or quiet moments practicing The Masterson Method together.

As horse lovers, we often find joy in giving back to our equine companions, especially during the holiday season. After all, they give us so much all year round—their trust, their partnership, and countless unforgettable memories. What better time to show our appreciation than now?

Maybe your wishlist includes something for both of you, like signing up for a Masterson Method course in 2024. Imagine deepening your connection with your horse, learning techniques that help them release tension, and seeing the transformation in their comfort and happiness. What an amazing way to start the new year!

So, let’s hear it—what’s on YOUR horse’s holiday wishlist? Share in the comments below! Whether big or small, practical or sentimental, we’d love to know how you’re making the season extra special for your four-legged friend.

☀️What a Great Weekend we just had on The Sunshine Coast ☀️
Learning more about Cowboy Dressage with Tanja Kraus from Tanja Kraus Horsemanship , Certified Cowboy Dressage Clinician , Coach & Judge .
🔹Wow your knowledge and passion for not just this discipline but in the horses movement and partnership with their rider is awesome to watch .

🤲🏻 Observing over the 2 days you help owners correct their own balance and guide them with HOW to ASK , allowing for this freer and proper movement from the horses body was brilliant.

🐎The benefits arnt just a wonderful partnership but a horse training his body to be able to use the correct muscle groups to support you which makes not only a more comfortable horse but a horse that can be your partner for longer .

✨I love this method of training as it has many principles that go hand in hand with The Masterson Method, feel , I was very honoured to have been invited to demonstrate some Masterson Method and guide the owners with The Bladder Meridian techniques so they can connect to each other regularly from the ground .✨

🤠Cowboy dressage is about SOFT FEEL ,CONNECTION & LISTENING TO YOUR HORSE
Just like in the Masterson Method
Your HANDS are your COMMUNICATION!🤲🏻

Big Thank you to Phil Monaghan, Jaquima a Freno, Classical Horsemanship. for your excellent input over the 2 days …. You both work wonderfully together and are perfect advocates for This truely beautiful art of riding from Eitan Beth–Halachmy . ✨8✨
