No. 46. Becky Simpson Tenges talks about The Masterson Method and SURE FOOT Equine Pads

🎓 About Our Guest Becky is an instructor at The Masterson Method Integrated Equine Performance Bodywork and is the owner at Equine Bodyworks USA. She talks about what the Masterson Method is and how SURE FOOT pads can be used with the Method. 🔑 5 Key Takeaways From This Episode ✅ The Sure Foot “Magnifying Glass” Effect Discover how Sure Foot Pads act like a lens into your horse’s balance—spotting patterns, behaviors, and habits you might otherwise miss. ✅ The Masterson Method Demystified Discover what this popular equine bodywork approach is (and isn’t!), and why it’s all about working with your horse, not just on them. ✅ Listening to Your Horse’s Body Language Find out how to spot the “conversation” your horse is having with you—from blinking and fidgeting to big releases—and what those signals mean during bodywork or when using Sure Foot Pads. ✅When Less is More Learn the surprising benefits of lighter touch and patience—sometimes, just 15 seconds can make a huge difference, and doing less can actually achieve more. ✅ Using Sure Foot Pads as a Complement Get practical advice on how Sure Foot Pads can be used as part of your assessment and bodywork toolkit—and why sometimes “touch and go” is all you need. 🧠 Fun Fact Did you know that Becky Tenges started her bodywork journey after a farrier told her, “She looks like she’s got feet from four different mothers—and unless someone helps her with her body, my work’s going to be ineffective”? That one comment sparked a passion for learning that took her from investment banking in New York to helping horses find comfort and balance across the world! ⏱️ Timestamps & Chapters 00:00 From banking to equine therapy 09:33 Intro to the Masterson Method 11:09 Impact of tension on performance 20:00 Understanding horse communication and training 23:33 Learning to connect with horses 30:28 Evaluating pony's hoof alignment 33:03 Communicating with horses 39:53 Learning techniques for horse tension 44:08 Switching hands for better technique 53:45 Explaining Masterson Method techniques 59:59 Exploring fascia and bodywork 01:06:25 Connecting horse anatomy and issues 01:08:19 Addressing horse tension patterns 01:15:50 Managing horse care and tension release 01:19:24 Relaxation and movement for horses 01:25:06 Promoting equine webinars online 🌟 What Else Does Wendy Offer?
