TTEAM and TTouch ...


TTEAM and Tellington Ttouch

   A gentle three-step system to help your animal learn
without fear or force.





















Tellington Ttouch and TTEAM are a system of interdependent bodywork and
training techniques for horses and their people. This system is  unique, in that it
acknowledges the importance of interconnection between the physical,
emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of all living beings.

Ttouch is a series of specific movements applied to the horse’s body by the
human. It is non invasive, doesn’t take a lot of strength and is very relaxing. The
Ttouch has been shown in experimental biofeedback studies to open access to
all brainwave patterns simultaneously. This opens the way for rapid learning. So
this bodywork not only addresses physical imbalances, it also addresses mental
and emotional processes.
The grandmother of “natural training systems” was developed by Linda
Tellington-Jones in the early 1970’s.
Unlike other, more recent, “natural
horsemanship” systems, which organize and give common language to what has
been done by others to this point, Linda created new methods of relieving pain,
fear and tension in horses. This new holistic horse training began with the horse
bodywork called Ttouch.

She then designed a groundwork system of training with non-habitual movement,
the next step in creating connected consciousness for horses and handlers. She
named it
TTEAM- Tellington Touch Equine Awareness Method and
invented the "Playground for Higher Learning"
This has proven to be the
fastest way to start young horses on a quiet, open, fearless path of training. It
can also quickly change habitual horse behavior, even in older horses, and allow
them to release fear and gain understanding in a safe way. TTouch and TTEAM
accomplish these goals without endless repetition.

Linda found over a lifetime of training horses and doing TTEAM work that pain,
fear and habitual response to stress were the largest obstacles in retraining  
horses to end undesirable behaviors. When these were addressed in a safe,
non-threatening way humans and horses could achieve greater levels of trust
and communication and change long term unwanted behavior.

The final piece of her system for freeing horses and riders is called
“Joy of
Riding”
and again uses nontraditional methods to bring joy back into the riding
equation. It is designed to be a basic riding introduction for young horses, or an
addition to your regular riding style. The exercises can help lower high headed
horses, lighten heavy horses, reopen communication through the reins, free up
frozen backs and rear ends, stop pulling and more. Riders learn better balance,
better feel and better communication with their horses. When combined with the
Ttouch bodywork and specific learning  exercises from the TTEAM groundwork
miracles can happen, changing horse / human interactions for good.

Penny Stone has been using TTEAM methods for training horses and their
humans since 1989. She has been a certified Practitioner II since 1992 and
staysupdated by attending and assistant teaching Trainings with LInda or one of
her International Instructors annually. Penny incorporates TTEAM methods in
her Whole Horse Power clinics.

"The TTouch profoundly alters
the mental state and body
awareness of animals.  I have
observed that the TTouch
works: the effects are lasting;
and with instruction, others can
achieve results."
