Trina is clearly motivated to help both the horse and the rider attain their goals comfortably and safely. She understands the needs of, and has a very good connection with, the working horse. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to compete with a sound and happy horse. Jim Masterson Fairfield, Iowa |

First time I saw Trina work on horses was at the 100-mile National Championship endurance ride in Idaho. I was impressed with her ability to tune into the horses’ needs, and amazed at the positive results. The horses relaxed totally into her hands and remained loose and supple throughout the 100-mile race. Soon after that, Trina came and worked on several of my horses. Again, it was apparent that she has a gift for reading the horses to find what part of their body and/or mind needs the most focus. One of my horses, who has always been tight and sore in the poll, even after many massages and chiropractic adjustments, not only allowed Trina to work on his poll but relaxed into it and afterward remained much more supple and less reactive. I appreciate how Trina sits down with me after working on my horses and goes over everything she found, what she did and even leaves me with things I can do to help my horses with any issues that she discovered. I am so grateful to have a Masterson Method practitioner in my area and I am signed up to attend a Masterson Method clinic this winter. I recommend Trina highly and suggest that anyone who wants to know more, go to the Masterson Method website to learn why horses benefit so much from this particular bodywork.

I just want to give a big thank you to Trina for all of her massage work that she did for Ruffy going into the City of Rocks 100-mile National Championship ride. Ruff was 100% sound a couple of weeks going into the ride but just wasn't “right”. Trina worked on her a few times before the ride and then during the ride and Ruff was acting like a 7-year-old instead of her 17 years! We rode some hard road miles and not one bit of swelling in her legs, amazing! I highly recommend Trina’s services!

Trina has worked on my race horses, my young horses and the older horses. She has a great feel for what the horse needs, or maybe she can just listen to what they are saying. Regardless, she can get the stand-offish horse happy and wanting more, the endurance horse in the middle of a 100-mile ride relaxed, able to rest and be comfortable, and the ex-rope horse with tight withers and neck to be soft. I really recommend her work!

Trina has helped horses of mine that have been lame for years to reach a semblance of soundness that I never thought I would see them back to. I’m so pleased with the results of her bodywork that I’m getting ALL of my horses done! This is similar to traditional massage, but so much better!

Trina has a natural way with horses to relax them and make them feel comfortable. She has furthered her knowledge with the Masterson Method which helps Preston with muscle soreness from dressage work. Preston has a fused left hind pastern which puts a lot of stress on his right side. Trina really helps to relieve that discomfort.

Trina has been working on my horses for the past two years, and her work has made a profound difference in our lives. My horses range in age from 7 to 30, and most of them are rescue horses who came into my life with more than their fair share of physical and mental issues. Thanks to Trina's care they are all performing and functioning much more comfortably and feeling noticeably happier. All the horses are now rideable, flexible and relaxed, and my beloved 30-year-old gelding has gone from a state of near-immobility to a state of running in for his dinner. To me that says it all. Thank you, Trina! We're never going to let you go!

If you need someone to work on your horse, Trina is the one. My horse was seriously hurting in her back...I couldn’t even brush it. Trina came out on her own time, whether or not I could be there. She did two sessions on Sugar, and within a week she was back to hard work at rodeos. Trina goes out of her way to help your horse while keeping it comfortable. Thanks Trina, you’re awesome!
