Training: Linda Tellington-Jones will be presenting a unique training, and the first of its kind ever delivered in the United States. Participants include four dressage riders whose horses will show the difference TTouch and Tellington Training makes through body work, ground exercises and the Tellington work under saddle including the Promise Wrap, the Balance Rein, and riding without a bridle. These techniques and lessons will demonstrate how to develop a more effective partnership for performance through the body, mind and spirit of both the horse and the rider. Ten other students without horses will be observing as well as practicing TTouch and ground work techniques which result in enhanced trust and performance, including reduced stress for improved well-being of these horses. Linda will also focus on some of the concepts she has written about in her book, Dressage with Mind, Body and Soul, including the importance of breathing and the concept that how you see your horse can affect their behavior, performance, health, and willingness to cooperate. The four dressage riders will each have an individual hour session with Linda and start applying what they ve learned.
