equines store in their nerve-rich muscles. After all, a tense horse is more likely to act resistant. If you make the horse do something, you might overrule the issue for the moment, but that pain or fear will lurk like a time bomb and erupt eventually.
The whole approach is about relaxation, trust and teaching the horse to be willing to learn. The TTbuch names are vivid: Inch Worm, Jellyfish Jiggle, Tarantulas Pulling the Plow, Chimp and Clouded Leopard touch. Others, like Back Lift and Neck Rocking, are self-explanatory.
The reader will learn inhand exercises that follow a special choreography ofTai-Chi-like steps. These techniques can help in Winging a horse back from uyury or illness, and have proven effective, Tellington-Jones writes, for starting young stock.
Telhngton-Jones’ philosophy of training via gentle and pleasurable methods are suitable for equines from foals to the elderly as well as for every level of horseman from beginner to professional.
This book offers unique tools to sort out problems - refusing to load, balking at moving forward in the ring or cross-country shying, halter pulling, coldhacked, hollow and resistant, bucking, running away.
