Amazon.com editorial review:
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.
MUST HAVE IF YOU ARE A HORSIE PERSON I volunteer as a horse wrangler with a non-profit group and get to work with a number of different horses. I read this book cover to cover and carry it with me whenever I'm around horses. It is All the horse people I work with borrowed it so much I had to buy a second copy just for myself! The information in the book is very easy to read and understand. Every time I see a horse or look at a picture, I look for the "moose-nose", the "pin ears" and the forehead swirls. And its amazing how these characteristics are tied into personality! A must have book!
Interesting, but not magical. I bought this book and was well into it before I realized it was TTouch book (pronounced "tee-touch")! My only previous experience with TTouch was a late night info-mercial several years ago. Their angle to snag buyers was to make it seem almost magical. Simple touch excercises completely changing an animal's personality! I was sold, but never got around to making the call. The majority of the book points out facial characteristics which were incredibly helpful for me, one who is notoriously horrible at recognizing horses, but the validity of Tellington-Jones' theory that they corrolate with aspects of their personality and intelligence was quickly and paradoxically disproved by the author! This made for a very confusing read, in the end. Unless one took the time to memorize the first section which is littered with too-vague illustrations and too many differentiations of anatomy, you'll be either lost, or constantly flipping to the beginning for the rest of the book. Like I said and many reviewers will contend, this is a very interesting book that's pretty hard to resist for most horsemen. If it takes, however, assurance of mystical properties to make the modern horsemen realize a horse's personality is as sensitive and complicated as yours and mine, indeed traditionalism has plagued equestrian sports. By the way, my horse found the TTouch excercises interesting at first, but quickly caught on and now only gets annoyed when I start the "clouded leopard" excercise. Did I mention the ridiculous excercise titles?
Amazon Reader Reviewer: from Florida, USA November 17, 1998
I bought the book as an instructor, and I feel this book is EXCELLENT! Easy enough for younger riders to read, yet the information is
rich enough for even ADULTS to enjoy and learn from! Lots of color photographs.
The first issue should arrive in 12-16 weeks.
