Her method is a complete holistic approach to horse training. Using specific touches and exercises designed to provoke certain responses or release reactions, Tteam attempts to make horses willing, thinking partners. Tellington Jones has had a long and varied career with horses. She was raised on horseback with her siblings and her sister is still very involved with the development of Tteam and Ttouch. Several years ago, I had the privilege of riding with another of her sisters on her Icelandic Horses. Tteam and Ttouch methods mesh nicely with other training methods, and can be very effective. Whether you are inclined to use more traditional or Natural Horsemanship methods, Tellington's methods are another handy tool to have in your horse handling tool box. These methods are also useful for dealing with almost any other creature furred or feathered.
