For 30 years, thousands of horses have demonstrated that the Tellington Method is a revolutionary way to change behaviour, reduce stress, promote a relaxed attitude and develop a successful partnership with your horse.
The inspiration of a world-renowned horsewoman, this is the first system of educating horses that has been scientifically proven to activate whole-brain learning and develop new neural pathways that can take your horse beyond instinct, override the flight reflex and open new possibilities for learning and performance.
Common behaviour and training issues - from 'Accident-Prone' to 'Weaving' - are easily pinpointed in the A to Z problem solver, and from there Linda directs you to the fabulously illustrated, step-by-step TTouch bodywork, ground exercises and ridden work to help solve current problems and troubleshoot new ones.
In addition, you learn how to deal with health emergencies, such as colic or tying up, until the vet arrives. The book's innovative design - in three, thoroughly cross-referenced parts - enables you to quickly target the information you need.
Also included is a pictorial trailer-loading case study that follows Linda and her team step-by-step as they transform a frightened young colt into a dependable loader. Using creative props from readily available materials, Linda shows how to recreate conditions that frequently dissuade horses from loading calmly and willingly and then demonstrates how to overcome them - safely and without force.
Whether you are a competitor in an equine sport like dressage, jumping, endurance, or reining, or ride simply for the pleasure of it, you will find the Tellington Method keeps your horse from getting sour or bored and enhances your mutual mental, emotional and physical vitality.
