TTouch sequal lacking, July 3 2011
By J. Tubiolo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Getting in TTouch with Your Horse: Understand and Influence Personality (Paperback)
I bought this book based on an earlier version I had borrowed from a friend. I really liked the earlier book and expected this one to be even better. Unfortunately, I was disappointed because, while this book is more conversational with more color photos and had more anctedotal 'profiles' of individual horses, it left out nearly all of the detailed graphic instructions that were very clear and helpful in understanding the techniques of T Touch. Had to borrow the older book again and copy the pages left out of the newer version. Apparently this one went for the glitz and personality of the author at the expense of real information. Too bad.

Geting in TTouch With Your Horse, Jun 3 2011

I was skeptical about discovering personality in facial features and whorls on horses. It sounded like equine phrenology, however I had read and used some of Tellington's other training tips so checked this book out from the library...numerous times. I had to buy it because she is absolutely correct. Mind boggling actually. I say this with confidence as I have owned several hundred horses over the past 48 years. Terrific book for the serious horse lover.

The Only Book of its Kind..., Jan 13 2011
By Roberta Blake Marietta - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Getting in TTouch with Your Horse: Understand and Influence Personality (Paperback)
Because of the TTouch in the title, it CAN be misleading - this is not a book that teach specific TTouch techniques - there are other titles that do that.
This book focuses on the phrase after the colon in the title: Understand and Influence Personality
And that it does - with illustrations, both drawn and photographs from a variety of angles to judge a horse's conformation and help determine personality, and develop an understanding of the horse at some level with a short inspection of physical attributes.
If you are thinking of purchasing a new horse, or just are interested in getting another perspective of understanding on your own horse's quirks and traits - get this book and you will not be disappointed.
