Overview

My Horse, My Friend by TTouch and TTEAM practitioner Bibi Degn is a wonderful way for young riders to learn the methods of renowned horse trainer Linda Tellington-Jones.

Description

Through the charming story of Maria and her budding relationship with her Arabian gelding Joram, this delightful book—beautifully illustrated with stunning full-color photographs—teaches kids how to properly interact with horses. Together with Maria, young equestrians will find out how to successfully greet, lead, groom, and mount a horse, and learn relationship-strengthening obstacle games to play on the ground and on horseback.

Horse-loving kids will master essential skills for engaging with horses while also discovering the exhilaration and excitement of horse companionship. Most importantly, the emphasis on interacting with horses in a kind and gentle manner instills an important life lesson and promises years of fulfilling relationships with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments.

BIBI DEGN is a riding instructor and Tellington TTouch practitioner. She learned the Tellington Method from its founder, Linda Tellington-Jones, and now heads the organization for teaching and learning the Tellington Method in Germany.

LINDA TELLINGTON-JONES developed the Tellington Method in the 1970s as a system of training and healing horses that deepens mutual trust, overrides common resistances, and strengthens the horse-human bond. Her techniques include a unique form of bodywork, ground exercises, and ridden work to improve a horse’s behavior, performance, and health while increasing his willingness and ability to learn in a supportive and trusting environment.
