Her unique blend of hands-on TTouch (a collection of circles, lifts, and slides done with the hands over various parts of the horse's body), combined with humane groundwork and under-saddle exercises, has helped solve training and behavioral problems for horses of every breed, every discipline, every age, and all levels. Her books, including <i>The Ultimate Horse Behavior and Training Guide</i> and <i>Dressage with Mind, Body, and Soul</i> have helped horses and horse people around the globe find better, more humane ways to solve both behavioral and training problems.</p> <p>Now Tellington-Jones is presenting a thoughtful recipe for starting the young horse without stress, helping to establish the very best beginning, in hand and under saddle. Unfortunately, not all horses have the benefit of the right foundation, which can lead to misunderstanding, mistreatment, and unhappiness for both human and horse. With this in mind, Tellington-Jones also curates her own experience working with older horses ready for a second chance at life, providing the necessary tools for filling in training "holes" and reconfirming lessons that may have been poorly taught or forgotten. </p> <ul> <li>Full-color photographs and step-by-step instructions clearly explain her methods.</li> <li>Guideposts tell you which techniques to use when, depending on the horse you are working with.</li> <li>New material interweaves Tellington-Jones' tried-and-true approaches, creating the most complete guide to The Tellington Method available.</li> </ul> <p>The result is a book with all the right ingredients and its heart in the right place: Whether starting right or starting over, Tellington-Jones's field-tested, compassionate answers are an excellent way to find connection while ensuring the horse a lifetime of success in the company of humans.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for Linda Tellington-Jones' previous work: </b><p> Linda's fabulous new book is by far the best that has ever been published on her TTouch Work. --<b><i>Trail Blazer</b></i><p>A heavyweight in any horse lover's book collection.<i>--<b>Equine Wellness</b></i><p>With plenty of white space, 364 color photographs, and 81 color illustrations, the book is a pleasure to read. --<i><b>Western Horseman</b></i><p>Keep this one nearby; you'll want to refer to it again and again! --<i><b>Horsemen's Yankee Pedlar</b></i> <p><b>Praise for this book: </b><p>In addition to the recipes for ensuring the horse a lifetime of success in the company of humans, the author weaves in stories of specific horses that have benefited from her innovative training method.
