Poll Release With Jim Masterson

[@erynd2524]

I’m gonna give this a shot with my mare later on today. That baby you were working with was practically half asleep on your shoulder and was the most adorable thing.

[@KathyKinrade1959]

So I tried this today on my horse. It actually work. She was very relaxed and didn't fight me, then all of sudden she started yawning and liking and chewing!.

[@Absorbine]

Isn't it amazing? It's so subtle, yet gets great results.

[@KathyKinrade1959]

Absorbine I know. I was amazed. I almost had her asleep with some of the other techniques.

[@professorstratios8228]

You can’t see a damn thing you’re doing in this video.

[@veroniqueviaudFaspasie_1957]

Wonderful to see how relaxed this beautiful horse becomes ! He 's trusting fully you, this is very important, she 's half asleep on your shoulder. He 's so adorable. Pity one can not see well what you are massaging behind her head. A place on the back of his jaw or the beginning of his neck. I think it must be that. I' ll try maybe with a not too tensed horse school who trusts me. She calls me knicking. Last time she asked me to snuggle her, on her neck at one moment . I did not understand why as we already have had a nice hug on her head - scratching her forehead crazy! - she was moving her head up and down on both sides of my own head. Til I embraced her ( it was instinctively, from all my old past years with horses) and started to massage her neck, scratching both sides of it. She was happy ! I at least guessed what she wanted me to do.😅 So I think I could try your great technic with her poll. As a Thoroughbred, she always keeps easily tensions in her body, and especially her neck and poll. Thank you very much Doctor ! 😊👌🏻🐎💖 I tried it meanwhile with my favorite thoroughbred. She got easily relaxed, weighing my shoulder, perhaps not enough. It was the very first time for we two. Lol . After I was grooming her and she didn't stop having her upper lip up with her head up and neck straight, then her head down, chewing, yawning... She was looking happy and me too. I never saw her so happy and relaxed. Thank you so so much !!! 🐴💕🇫🇷

[@Feonix778]

So cool, I will try this with my TB too, she is often tense!

[@melanielatham5665]

Really enjoyed watching and learning Thankyou. I’m sure that my mare will thank you too. ❤

[@snickers0522]

I would actually love this job

[@edricheson]

I spent 25 yrs in ortho massage and was very successful, but I would say if anyone out there is thinking of taking up equine massage over human massage, you would have an incredible practice that could go on for many more years than 25. You would have to like traveling though...

[@patriciagriffiths398]

Thanking you so much for your information. Will certainly try this. Kindest regards Patricia

[@paintedhorse1965]

Look at her nose run. Great video

[@learleywells4498]

[@Absorbine]

[@Luxraex3]

[@semooney7840]

🦅 🌬 “Masterson♥️Method” ♾

[@j_sottosanti3848]

Yeah if I wanted to do this on my mini, I would have to kneel to be at his head ❤️ 😂

[@melindastackpoole6856]

would you want to do this from both sides?

[@JCV-kd1sy]

Shes a good horsie

[@rebeccamatist7036]

lol im working with a 16.2 beast of a horse...I might need a stool to reach🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ekaterini001]

🔥💕

[@fonhollohan2908]

What a beautiful horse, she's like that,, cool.

[@serendipitouswisdom]

Her eyes tell the story as you're working with her. Also do you change sides?

[@Absorbine]

Same answer as the question above: The Masterson Method is sponsored by Absorbine. Try contacting The Masterson Method Bodywork on Facebook, they'll be able to answer that!

[@steveb2145]

whats the Poll...? also, could you do this with camera on other side so we can see what your right hand is doing from beginning ???

[@Absorbine]

The "poll" is the area of the top of the horse's neck just behind the head.

[@kimslamka6595]

Do you do this on an angle? Should you repeat this facing from the right side of the horse and angle the neck that direction too, and dos that matter?

[@Absorbine]

No, more or less straight on and you do not need to switch sides. Thanks!

[@mayleebennett3326]

I need to try this with my boyfriends horse.

[@veroniqueviaudFaspasie_1957]

From France, I was reading : i 'm going to try with my boy friends. I thought😮🤔then I read all the sentence and I was laughing. But after all, why not ? 😂🤣🤣

[@naturazpolski9213]

I tried this method so much times and I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. It doesn't work, no matter what horse I try. First of all, they don't even blink, although it is a place where I know for sure it's stiffe, second of all, the horse is wiggling around most of the time and when I finally get to touch them, they react like nothing happened or don't let me do such moves like there, even though they should feel relaxed

[@Absorbine]

We'd recommend asking the Masterson Method team how to get past this - they've seen everything and will have great ideas on how to help! mastersonmethod.com/contact/
