A unique program of yoga for riders that cultivates both mental and physical flexibility and balance ‹ vital keys to achieving harmony between horse and human. Profusely illustrated with color photos and drawings.
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.

Longeing and ground training are an important part of horsemanship, both in training the horse and in the education of the rider.
This book explains the principles of handling and training horses safely from the ground, including leading, teaching good ground manners, and preparation for longeing. It provides an introduction to longeing, equipment, techniques, and longeing for various purposes, including longeing to improve the horse's movement and longeing the rider. Because longeing is an activity that requires skill, knowledge, and safe techniques, The USPC Guide to Longeing and Ground Training is essential to understanding what you will need, what to do, and how long to do it safely for yourself and your horse.
This guide can be used by Pony Clubbers, instructors, and all horse owners who want to learn about longeing and how to use this technique safely to benefit their horses' training.
