What is Tteam?

The Tellington Touch Equine Awareness Method (TTEAM) is a teaching method for horses that incorporates body work (TTOUCH), ground exercises and riding exercises to help improve co-ordination, balance, and athletic ability whilst deepening further communication and understanding between the horse and its owner.

TTEAM helps increase levels of self confidence and self-control.

Developed by Linda Tellington-Jones, TTEAM is used widely in many countries across the world
by Olympic dressage riders, pleasure riders, trainers, veterinarians, therapists and horse owners.
TTEAM techniques gently guide the horse through non-habitual exercises that can alter existing habitual patterns.

As posture affects behaviour, many owners note that unwanted behaviour diminishes as the horse's posture improves.

TTEAM teaches the horse to act, rather than simply re-act.
TTEAM blends well with many other modalities and training methods (particularly Connected Riding!).

It is not necessary to adopt the whole TTEAM philosophy in order to make a difference to a horse.
Learning just a few of the simple body TTouches and movements can help make a difference to a horse's life.

Feedback from the March 2009 clinic:

Great fun and great weather! Loved the body wraps.

Very good 3 days, especially the tail and ear work. What made the biggest impression was the talk about small ponies; they quite often don’t get taken seriously or get appropriate attention!

I had great success halting with head lowered; wonderful that we achieved it so gently and I now have the skill to help my other horse with this too. Other stuff: the wraps work SO well! Also, the skills of affecting the horse so dramatically with the Ttouches, especially in the ears, are just so special. Thank you.

I loved the bodywork. I think it will be really beneficial for Skye. Already I am seeing a difference with Skye after the groundwork and asking her to step forward one step at a time –
especially getting her into position by something to allow me to get on her! Great learning things we can do to calm our horse when they become anxious about something. Skye had become very weary of trucks. Today while waiting to cross the road, a truck came past. I did some inchworms up her neck and she was so much better than she has been lately. She just stood there and watched it. I enjoyed meeting some local people with common interests that I can keep in touch with, and hopefully, ride with in the future. It was a very worthwhile clinic, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Two weeks after this clinic we held an informal ‘playday’ so that we could practice together and remind each other of any bits we’d forgotten. We went through everything with 3 different horses, which was really useful. More playdays will be planned, and Edie Jane will be back in 2010; probably for 2 x 3 day clinics, on consecutive weekends. Newbie’s can do the first 3 days (or all 6); people who attended this time can do just the 2nd 3 days if they wish; those working towards Practitioner status should do all 6 days.
