Becky Tenges has been surrounded by horses since she was a kid. Her father was a craftsman who specialized in horse hooves; at one point, the ranch that Becky grew up on had 100 horses. After Becky left college, she headed off for a career in business. But Becky knew that something else was calling; after twenty years, she returned to the animals she has always loved.

In pursuing her passion for horse care, Becky became a certified practitioner of the Masterson Method. Her work was so strong that Jim invited her to  become an instructor. As time went on, her role with Jim expanded; from 2018 to 2023, she served as Jim’s Director of Fieldwork & Certification. Becky has since stepped away to focus on her own endeavors—she has founded knowledge and support networks for equine professionals, has her own consultancy, and still maintains a bodywork practice. But through it all, she has remained a Masterson Method instructor. Becky is dedicated to Jim’s method and is eager to teach it.
