New World Screwworm (NWS) has been identified in Texas, posing a serious threat to horses, pets, livestock, and wildlife. What do you need to know about this invasive parasite?

Unlike common flies, screwworm larvae feed on living tissue and can quickly turn even small wounds into significant health concerns. Knowing what to look for (including non-healing wounds, unusual irritation, and signs of infection) can help protect your horse.

Do you want to learn how gentle light touch can help your horse release tension throughout their body?

Join me at Rhythm of the Rein Therapeutic Riding and Driving Program on Sunday June 7th for a Masterson Method Interactive Demo. This is a fundraiser for their therapeutic riding and driving programs.

***********************************************************************
Join us for a special workshop on Sunday, June 7th at our location in Marshfield!
The Masterson Method® is a unique, interactive form of equine bodywork where the practitioner follows the horse’s responses to gentle touch to help release accumulated tension in the body. Much of the work focuses on key junctions that greatly influence movement and performance—such as the poll and neck, the shoulder/withers area, and the hind end (sacroiliac region). What makes the method special is that the horse actively participates in the process. By paying attention to subtle body language and working below the horse’s brace response, we can help the horse release tension in muscles, connective tissue, and the overall structure—often in areas the horse cannot easily release on their own.
This demo begins with a bodywork session on the demo horse. Participants will then have the opportunity to practice a few gentle Masterson Method® techniques on designated practice horses. Participants will not only observe but also actively engage in guided, hands-on learning while practicing selected techniques. We will also focus on the principles and practices of gentle light touch and staying below the brace.
Hands on participant (8 maximum) - $60.00 (we provide the horses)
Auditors (unlimited) - $30.00

There’s a quiet grief many animal people carry when they begin seeing things differently.

Because once you realize how much of traditional animal handling was built around suppression instead of understanding…
you can’t fully unsee it.

You notice how often animals are praised for tolerating discomfort.
How often fear gets labeled as “respect.”
How often shutdown gets mistaken for calmness.

And for a while, it can feel heartbreaking.

But then something beautiful starts happening too.

You begin noticing the tiny signs of aliveness returning.

The horse who starts expressing opinions again.
The dog who becomes playful after years of hypervigilance.
The animal who finally realizes:
“I don’t have to disappear to be safe here.”

That moment changes both lives.

Because animals were never meant to be emotional machines built for human convenience.

They are nations unto themselves.
Full beings.
With inner worlds as rich and meaningful as our own.

And when we stop trying to dominate those worlds…
we get invited into them.
