I've just received this fab message from a client. I rechecked & balanced her saddle & gave her horse a Masterson Method treatment on Monday-

Went for ride on Tilly today . What a remarkable improvement ! Walked in a straight line !
Thankyou .

How brilliant is that!!!
I love being able to offer saddle fitting and bodywork at the same time. The results can be huge ❤️❤️❤️

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

As it is the school holidays I can travel a little more again so I am planning a trip to Tauranga & Rotorua some time over the next 2 weeks.

Please send me a message if you would like an appointment for a saddle check.

All the best ###

This is a great way to expand your knowledge. I have found all the videos I have watched through Masterson Method to be easy to understand and implement.
Go ahead and give yourself and your horse a treat

The joys of Meta!

If you are messaging me and Facebook pops up the below booking form please do not fill it in. It's not an option I have opted to have on my page, and I don't know how to get rid of it! 😩😩😩

Booking via this pop up will not get you the appointment you request as it has nothing to do with my diary.

It's really causing a lot of confusion with my clients. If you would like an appointment please fill in the pop up link to the Jot Form which asks for heaps of details, not just the date and time.

Sorry if this has tripped you up and caused me not to show up as expected. I am working hard to figure out why it is occuring and to try and get rid of it. If anyone knows how to get rid of it please let me know 🙏

As you all know, I am now a Certified Masterson Method Practitioner, but what is Masterson Method I hear you cry?

Masterson Method is a unique, interactive method of equine bodywork where you use the responses of the horse to your touch to find and release accumulated tension in key junctions of the body that most affect performance: The Poll-Atlas Junction; The Neck-Shoulder-Withers Junction & The Sacroiliac Junction.

🐴 It enables the horse to actively participate in the process of relieving tension, meaning it is done WITH the horse not on the horse
🐴 It is appropriate for any horse regardless of age, discipline or level of competition
🐴 Its intuitive and interactive nature can help to not only improve performance, but to access a new level of communication with the horse.

As a Certification Special I am offering $50 off all Masterson Method only appointments booked in November. Any saddle fittings that would like to add on a treatment already have the treatment discounted by that amount, regardless of the time of year! So get in touch to book your horse a very special treat

I am now back in the beautiful land of New Zealand after the most amazing time away being fully immersed in The Masterson Method, Integrated Equine Performance Bodywork. What an fantastic time away, learning more, helping with the new students, and not forgetting becoming certified myself!!!
I will be getting back to all messages & enquiries over the next few days, sending out appointment times and answering questions. If you haven't heard from me by Monday, please flick me a little reminder message as your message may have gotten buried.
Its good to be back :-)

I did a little thing on Sunday, I'd like to introduce you to the latest Masterson Method Certified Practitioner...Me!

Thank you to all my clients who have loving let me treat their horses, and to my trainer Nadine Core Touch, and my mentors Emma & Gypsy in Australia and also to Vicky, Jim Masterson's right hand lady for changing her plans and coming early to Brisbane, from the UK, so I could do my certification this year, and not have to wait another year 💝

I will put up another post soon giving you some information about what exactly the Masterson Method is, and also offer a certification discount for all Masterson Treatments booked in November.

I am finally into the final leg of my Masterson Method qualification. This past weekend I travelled to Inglewood to take part in my 3rd & final coaching session. After writing up 30 case studies it was a very welcome finish!

On the 19th October I travel to Australia to take my Certification. The end is so close in sight! It has been a real journey of highs and lows but I am so pleased to have gotten so close. I can almost taste it!

I had a great time yesterday at Napier RDA doing my 2nd coaching session to complete my Block 2 of Masterson Method Training. Only 1 more block to go then onto the qualification in October, hopefully, assuming I get a new passport in time haha
Thank you Nadine and Gypsy for all you help

Have I sold you a saddle that is now gathering dust in the tack room?

If so, send me a message and let's see if we can sell it on and release the capital you have sitting there.

It is often a lot easier for me to sell them as I know all the details of your saddle- width, seat size, angle of rails, panel design etc. Plus I am seeing clients every day who are looking for well made, good quality 2nd hand saddles. A lot of people are nervous buying 2nd hand off the internet, what happens if it's damaged, or broken, or just doesn't fit? They are then stuck trying to sell it on again. By buying through me they know the saddle has been quality checked and it will be fitted to their horse.

Go on, have a look in your tack room. Your spare saddles are not getting any younger!

We have finally done it! Much like Cinderella's glass slipper, Adalind's sparkly saddle finally has a pony to fit it 😍

It's taken over 2 years to get the perfect pony but it was well worth the wait. Olive is a little star, if you ignore the sn**ch of grass the minute my back was turned 😆 You just can't change a Welshie 🤣🤣🤣

I am so pleased I bought this saddle when I did with the limited edition rainbow glitter cantle. What little girl wouldn't want a rainbow cantle?! 🌈

The Society of Master Saddlers had their annual competition last night and I am proud to say the team at Hastilow & Sons absolutely smashed it, walking away with more awards than they can carry.

I am so proud to be the New Zealand stockist of these saddles, they are beautifully designed, well made and can be completely tailor made for the best fit possible for you and your horse.

Well done team Hastilow, you should be very proud of yourselves. I know I am proud of you 🎉🎉🎉

I've done that crazy thing all horse women do and I've got my daughter a pony 😁
I am now on the look out for a decent ute to tow my float with. Ideally 4wd to make the Saddle Road easier. I haven't got a huge budget, it will probably only be used once a week or fortnight, mainly for PC trips or lessons. Doesn't need to be pretty, just reliable & safe. I thought I'd put it out to you, my wonderful clients, to see if anyone knows of anything going.

Yesterday I spent the day in the hot Hawkes Bay sun doing my Level 1 coaching session for The Masterson Method, Integrated Equine Performance Bodywork qualification.
Thank you Nadine Core Touch for your time yesterday and for all your help & guidance thus far. I am so grateful 💞
I'd also like to thank my case studies horses, such wonderful patients 🥰

I love being able to offer Masterson Method treatments alongside my saddle fittings, it is such a gentle but effective modality.

It's now onward and upward, carrying on with level 2, making big strides to becoming qualified next year 🌟

Where are my saddle bling lovers? Look at this absolute beauty from Hastilow & Sons 😍 This Bentley Monoflap dressage saddle is a complete one off. You will not see another the same again. The silver sparkle cantle catches the sun so beautifully showing off an array of rainbow colours. Absolutely memorising 🌈❤️
