Join Linda Tellington-Jones for an in depth exploration in Developing a Profound Connection with Your Horse:
Heart to Heart • Cell to Cell • Soul to Soul

In Unlocking Your Horse’s Potential, world-renowned educator Linda Tellington-Jones will guide you through a proven, innovative, and deeply respectful approach—the Tellington TTouch® Method—to help your horse move safe and sound beyond old patterns and into greater ease, balance, and cooperation.

These interactive sessions will teach you how to truly see your horse: how personality, posture, tension, and balance influence behavior and learning. Drawing on decades of experience working with many breeds and disciplines around the world, Linda will show you how to assess each horse as an individual and how to integrate the Tellington Method into your work to bring out their very best.

Students will also learn together by sharing observations, questions, and experiences. This creates a warm sense of community and camaraderie, where everyone supports and learns from one another.

You’ll gain a practical and inspiring toolbox of TTouch bodywork, groundwork exercises, brilliant tools, and mindset shifts you can use immediately—whether you’re working with a sensitive horse, a reactive horse, a shut-down horse, a high-performance partner, or simply a horse you want to understand and connect with more deeply.

You will learn how small changes can create profound results—helping your horse be confident and safe in their body, clearer in their mind, and more willing in their heart.

What We Will Explore Together:
    •    How to assess, understand and influence your horses’ personality, behavior, potential and performance
    •    How the shape of the head reflects their personality
    •    How posture, balance, and movement reveal emotional and mental states
    •    Recognizing signs of stress, fear, confidence, and curiosity
    •    Supporting the nervous system to create ease and readiness to learn how TTouch®, groundwork, and simple awareness exercises can invite positive change
    •    Adapting our approach to honor each individual horse

Participants are welcome, though not required, to share photos and potential videos of their horses for Linda’s assessment and guidance.

This class is about understanding who the horse is and meeting them with empathy, clarity, and kindness.

Live on Zoom + Bonus Self-Paced Online Courses

We will meet live on Zoom for our Saturday sessions, allowing us to learn together no matter where you are in the world.

Who This Class Is For:

This course is for horse lovers, trainers, professionals, and anyone who wishes to deepen their relationship with horses through understanding, respect, and mindful observation. No prior experience with TTouch is required—only an open heart and curiosity.

Class Format:

8 live Zoom classes, 2 hours each (Saturdays)
Teaching, demonstrations, stories, and time for questions
Bonus online classes included

My hope is that this course will help you see personality not as a limitation, but as a gift—a way of understanding how each horse experiences the world, and how we can support them in becoming more confident, balanced, and at ease.
