 This is a worthwhile book to read Jan 17, 2010
I have had horses for many years. I've read a lot of horse-related books, or parts of them - meaning sometimes right off, I can tell whether or not I would like to read further. This was put together in a calm and orderly sequence that didn't have opinions jumping out and telling the reader things that are hard to apply. Whether the ideas were created or learned from elsewhere and adapted to a more effective use doesn't matter. What matters is that it is a well-written book that offers suggestions and ideas that I have found pleasant to read and compare to what I already thought or didn't even realize. I especially have appreciated the references to treatment as well as handling of one's horse - both in the barn and in the pasture. Another thing - it is my observation that those who really toot their horn loudly are often less informed than those who simply tell of their experiences. This is a real good book. I have recommended it to my closest horsey friends.

 Over-rated Sep 07, 2009
I was very disappointed in this book. I believe that many natural horsemanship books by other authors are far better. The vanity of the author, e.g. naming the method after herself permeates the book. She also feels the need to trash other natural horsemanship clinicians. Her pseudo scientific claims of "evidence" for her method may appeal to people who know little about biology. I don't doubt the usefulness of horse message or the particular messages she describes, but her presentation is really over-blown.

The ultimate horse behavior and training book by linda tellington jones Aug 31, 2009
This book, in my opinion, next to a good horse health-care manual, should be an essential personal reference book for any serious horse owner. Linda Tellington Jones is a true visionary and genius. I was exposed to her training style decades ago and consider her a leader in a sensible approach of using reflexology and pressure points to alleviate a horse's pain, stress, and ailments. Jones gives the reader a real grasp and understanding on how to improve any typical horse "problem" from becoming more difficult and hazardous. She has an innate ability to use intelligence, psychology and observation. It's just such "sensible" information. I have already passed the book by two sheriff-horse patrol friends- who both handed the book right back to me as they quickly saw it's value and were intent on purchasing their own copies.

The ultimate in psycho-babble, confusing instructions for therapy Mar 31, 2009
As a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist for 35+ years AND a horseperson for 65 years I can only hope that Ms. Tellington-Jones had to camoflage her descriptions of her work and change terminology to avoid a conflict with someone who might have otherwise accused her of stealing ideas. Reading this book for information is comparable to having key terms written in a foreign language. For psychologist it would be as if Dr. Shapiro (EMDR) had described her eye movements as "Racing Rabbits" and the bi-lateral stimulations by tapping as "Leaping Lizards" in her books and manuals for training therapists in her techniques. I'm sure that if someone took the time to translate this book it could be very helpful. The pictures were excellent and fairly easy to follow but the frustration of the reader with having to constantly refer backward or forward in the book to the descriptions of the various techniques was akin to having to consult a dictionary in every paragraph. I would recommend other books written for easier comprehension and more useful to the "average" horse person. Jane T. Davis, PsyD

Perfect for everyone who loves their horse Jan 23, 2009
I have been familiar with Linda's work for a long time and had owned several of her previous books. This is by far the most comprehensive book of her methods. I goes over the TTEAM philosophy, common horse problems and particular TTOUCHES and exercises to help these horses, and an index of all the TTEAM TTOUCHES and exercises. If you enjoy this book or want even more information on TTEAM check out their newsletters. Using TTEAM has helped me to make several horses very happy and balanced.
