Equine Bond Helping you and your horse connect, hear, listen and learn together including personal development

My focus is on helping you strengthen your relationship and confidence with yourself and your horse. A session for you and your horse will be tailored according to the combination of both your needs. We will look at the history, the current situation and also what time, energy and effort you are able to commit to. Sometimes just changing one small thing can make a big difference, so my focus is to

try to understand what is important to you and what is the most problematic for you both. Sometimes, it is not the thing we think it is that needs to change. I will then help you learn the relevant Ttouches and exercises that resonate with you and that will help your horse also. As part of the programme, I offer ongoing telephone and email support to help you in between sessions. I will happily work with your vet, physio, chiropractor and other professionals so please obtain referral/approval from your vet prior to the consultation. You can also have a facilitated learning session with your horse, in whichever location you wish, whether it be in the stable, yard, field or even on a walk. These sessions give you the opportunity to experience another side of your relationship and gain a completely different perspective to your current thoughts.

A lovely video of Linda describing the heart hug. A great way to centre yourself at any point and especially prior to being with your horse.

And what a fabulous couple of days it was! More learning, more awareness, more understanding. One of the reasons I wanted to train as a Practitioner is that I knew the work would always inspire me to be the best I can be in any given moment. Knowing that the moments change according to situation and circumstance was one of the most useful pieces of learning I had on my early trainings. It's taught me to give myself (and others) slack at the same time as encouraging stretch. It's taught me to be kinder to myself (and others) and at the same time be more diligent and clear with boundaries and focus. It's always great to reconnect with old friends and make new ones travelling a similar path.

This is such a lovely TTouch. On horses a particularly nice place is either side of the face so an arm under the neck and a hand palm down onto the cheek. Alternatively working down the neck. Its such a relaxing TTouch for them.

A little bit of inspiration for you. Though I don't teach riding I do incorporate groundwork/handling Tellington Ttouch work in all my physical and online coaching programmes. I will be running my Love Your Horse, Love Yourself programme again this autumn. If you would like more information or to chat about anything beforehand please do contact me. In the meantime I will be sharing some of the topics we will be covering and offering some tasters nearer the the time.

The first time a foal is haltered will set them up for many expectations about human interactions for the rest of their lives.

The Tellington TTouch Method is interested in creating positive postural habits and reducing tension patterns to help horses be more cooperative as willing partners, without fear, pain or fear of pain.

Many foals learn to lead with force and pressure on a single point of contact which will often cause them to resemble a “fish on the end of a line” until they learn that they have no choice.

When we first introduce the halter, the initial step does not include the halter at all!

Our first step is to use a figure eight body rope to teach foals about containment, rather than restraint and begins to teach stop and go cues without pressure on the head a neck.

Once a foal is comfortable with being gently influenced but the handler, the halter is slowly introduced, never using steady pressure, but instead using a “combing” or “milking” of the line so that the bracing response is not ingrained and the foal first learns to release with relaxation and come forward rather than brace and come forward.

This is done with the halter as well as the figure eight rope to support a good posture and show the foal how to use their body in a functional way when being handled.

Foals, as well as puppies and ponies, often have things done "to them" without being offered much choice or time because of their smaller size. Taking the time to introduce new requests and equipment in small, easily accepted pieces will go a long way to their lifelong impression of human interactions and promotes a more cooperative, willing attitude towards any new skill they are taught.

Here's an old slideshow that demonstrates the step-by-step, low-stress process.

Listening to you so you can hear your horse

My focus is on helping you strengthen your relationship and confidence with yourself and your horse. A session for you and your horse will be tailored according to the combination of both your needs. We will look at the history, the current situation and also what time, energy and effort you are able to commit to. Sometimes just changing one small thing can make a big difference, so my focus is to try to understand what is important to you and what is the most problematic for you both. Sometimes, it is not the thing we think it is that needs to change.

A facilitated session with your horse enables you to slow time right down and experience the unique space that exists between you both, give you a chance to observe, learn and experience what is contributing to that space. You will discover what exists within the relationship, so getting a chance to see the beautiful as well as clearing out the unhelpful. This can be a transformational space.

I can help you learn some TTouches and exercises that contribute to a deeper level of understanding of how your horse experiences life and for those that are in rehabilitation we can put together a more comprehensive programme. I can offer ongoing telephone and email support to help you in between sessions. I will happily work with your vet, physio, chiropractor and other professionals so please obtain referral/approval from your vet prior to the consultation.
