'Setting Them Up For Success'
Ottawa TTouch clinics: August 5-7
and August 5-10, 2017
(subject to change without a lot of notice - but always in the best interests of all present!)
First of all, the amount of hands-on practi
ce you get will not depend upon your bringing a horse. Some time will be available to discuss how you could work with a difficulty you may have chosen to leave at home!
Our intention
is to equip you with eyes to see what may be getting in the way of your horses' progress or what might get in the way in the future, and skills to change what you find.
TTEAM teaching consists of a lot of hands-on experience, discussion of concepts and techniques, and demonstrations. Emphasis in the first three days will be placed on observation
and exploration of the difficulties presented by the horses at the training, with exploration and practice of appropriate ways to help them be successful. We will be including the TTEAM techniques of Tellington TTouch, including ways to support veterinary crises and care; groundwork in the "Playground of Higher Learning" and, depending upon the horses present, riding using TTEAM tack - or no tack at all!
The final three days will build on the discoveries and skills of the first three days. Depending upon the needs of the horses, we'll go into greater detail with more hands-on with varied horses, and intend to include neck-line driving, ground driving, and more ways to
 carry the method to work under saddle.
Our focus will be on looking at what we do in terms of the horses' education or re-education. What do the various TTEAM activities teach? What does each horse need to know? What gets in his way, or what's missing? Which of our techniques might be helpful?
If you are new to TTouch, you might like to visit our
YouTube Channel
and see some of what we'll be doing.
Susanna Widrig will be giving unmounted balance seat lessons to all the students as a part of the training. She may be available to teach mounted
Connected Riding lessons outside of clinic hours. These will be dependent upon available horses and will be arranged on a first-come first-served pre-registered basis. Susanna is offering a special rate of $65.00.
It's a full and fun event!
