Tellington Touch, also known as TTouch, is a form of bodywork for horses that aims to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Developed by Linda Tellington-Jones, this technique involves a range of gentle touches, lifts, and movement exercises that are designed to stimulate the horse’s nervous system and promote relaxation and balance.

One of the key principles of TTouch is the belief that every part of the horse’s body is interconnected, and that by working on one area, you can have a positive effect on other areas as well. TTouch practitioners use a variety of specialized touches and movements, such as circular touches and lifts, to stimulate the horse’s nervous system and help release tension and stress.

There are many potential benefits of TTouch for horses, including improved physical flexibility and balance, reduced stress and anxiety, and enhanced communication and trust between the horse and the handler. TTouch can also be used to address specific behavioral or physical issues, such as fear, tension, or lameness.

If you are interested in incorporating TTouch into your horse’s care routine, it is important to work with a trained and experienced practitioner to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the techniques. With proper training and application, TTouch can be a powerful tool for improving the overall well-being of your horse.
