Bringing your horse to the training: You are welcome to bring your own horse to the training, but it is not necessary, as you will still have an opportunity for plenty of hands-on work.  If you do want to bring your horse, you must let us know in advance and register your horse as soon as possible as horse space is limited to 6 outside horses so it will be on a first-come basis.  To register your horse online, go to www/ttouch.com, select Horses, and then select Horse Profile Form.

Stabling information for your horse: 
Stall fees will be CAD50 a day. You need to feed and water your own horse and clean their stall – horses can stay outside if preferred. Horses need to have a current Coggins and influenza vaccine in the last 6 months. There are 2 dry lots and 8 grass paddocks.
Please register your horse with the TTouch office AND Martine Sudan 416-587 0957.

Equipment:
TTouch Wand, a 4 ft white dressage whip.

The wand and lead are essential items for a Tellington TTouch training. If you have them, bring them with you. If you do not have a wand and lead, they will be available for sale at the clinic.

If you have any other TTouch equipment, i.e., TTouch driving lines, Balance Rein, Lindell or ace bandages, it would be very helpful to have them on hand.

Please be sure your items are well marked for easy identification.
