TTOUCH FOR HORSES

TTouch™ - the Tellington-TTouch - is a method based on circular movements of the fingers and hands all over the body. The intent of the TTouch is to activate the function of the cells and awaken cellular intelligence - a little like "turning on the electric lights of the body." The TTouch is done on the entire body, and each circular TTouch is complete within itself. Therefore it is not necessary to understand anatomy to be successful in speeding up the healing of injuries or ailments, or changing undesirable habits or behaviour.

The Tellington TTouch is a specialized approach to the care and training of horses. Developed by internationally recognized animal expert, Linda Tellington-Jones, this method based on cooperation and respect offers a positive approach to training, can improve performance and health and presents solutions to common behavioural and physical problems. It also helps establish a deeper rapport between humans and animals through increased understanding and more effective communication.

Using a combination of specific touches, lifts, and movement exercises, TTouch helps to release tension and increase body awareness. This allows the horse to be handled without provoking typical fear responses. The horse can learn more easily new and more appropriate behaviours. By using the TTouch and a variety of other tools, such as ground exercises, you can assist the horse in experiencing self-confidence in previously frightening situations. Even the most difficult problems are often eliminated. You can also learn how to apply the Tellington TTouch to assist with recovery from illness or injury, or just enhance the quality of your horse's life.

The Tellington TTouch can help in cases of:

· Bucking and rearing
· Reluctance to be caught
· Pulling back when tied
· Aggressive Behaviour
· Shying
· Resistance to Grooming
· Excitability & Nervousness
· Loading/travelling

This gentle method is currently being used by horse owners, trainers, breeders, veterinarians, zoo personnel and rescue/rehabiltation workers in several countries.
