Susan in NV Corrie only canters on one lead (tendon op). It's more comfortable for the rider if she's on the 'wrong' lead but she LOVES to go straight. I won't take her to a clinic to have her feelings hurt. I'm just glad I can find a straight run and she asks me to ask for a canter. Well, I'm at that stage of riding and she's at her stage.

Work from the saddle, or even ground work will do nothing unless you are on the same page as the horse, and the TTouches and TTeam help form that foundation of trust upon which all else is built. The problem that comes in with people like me is that I love to ride, and want to fix the problems from the saddle, but that can not happen when there is no foundation, and I'm not talking about groundwork, but the relationship that is formed with the TTouches. I can't wait to work on Andi some more with the advice Robyn has given me! I plan on videoing it and putting it side by side with my last video with Andi so I can the difference. Plus, I've watched LTJ's video on You-Tube about a hundred times, so hopefully, I will get the technique right!

>Understanding advice from Robyn Hood< Way to go Susan & Whisper. I too have found over the 14 years I have had Iceys in the family, that Robyn's advice/the TTEAM approach has proven invaluable. It combines easy to use body work, with fun ground work, & a construct to build a bridge of communication with my horses that is an enitrely new language. I use these concepts in my holistic healing practice for all animals not just horses & have found them to be universally accepted & applicable. Through my understanding of the TTEAM concepts my relationships with humans has improved as well & I have grown as a person. Many thanks to Linda & Robyn for so patiently making this wonderful , user & animal friendly approach to better relationships avaiable to us all. You don't even have to go to in person workshops or spend a lot of $$. Just a book & perhaps the TTEAM newsletter is all many of my clients needed to get started. Best of luck Lorraine. Don't give up on Dagur yet!! Kaaren
