Improve Your Horse's Well-Being: A
Step-By-Step Guide to Ttouch and Tteam Training by Linda
Tellington-Jones
Here, at last, is a fully illustrated guide to Linda Tellington-Jones'
TTouches and TTEAM groundwork for horses. The Tellington Touches
(TTouches--circular touches of the hands and fingers) are
designed to activate cellular function, which increases both
relaxation and awareness in the horse. The Tellington-Touch
Equine Awareness Method (TTEAM) ground exercises are used
to modify behavioral and physical problems by expanding a
horse's capacity for learning through improved balance and
coordination. These deceptively simple touches and exercises,
which dramatically enhance the horse's training and well-being,
are shown in clear, sequential color photos; they include:
the Python TTouch, the Lying Leopard TTouch, Taming the Tiger,
the Dingo, Cueing the Camel, and many others. Linda Tellington-Jones
is the best-selling author of Getting in TTouch: Understand
and Influence Your Horse's Personality, The Tellington TTouch,
Let's Ride! With Linda Tellington-Jones, and The Tellington-Jones
Equine Awareness Method.
