Body Work

Mandy Pretty - TTouch & Connected Riding Lessons
The Tellington TTouch - is a method based on circular movements of the fingers and hands all over the body. The intent of TTouch
is to activate the function of the cells and awaken cellular intelligence - a little like “turning on the electric lights of the body.” This
simple yet effective bodywork helps release tension and improve your relationship with your horse.

Connected Riding is the bio-mechanically functional technique that allows you and your horse to find true balance, freedom
and self-carriage.

TREC
TREC is a unique informal competition for riders and drivers of all levels. Originating in France and first introduced in BC in 2003, it
is steadily growing in popularity. TREC is an excellent cross over sport for those who compete in endurance, competitive trail,
horse trials, and combined driving. TREC events are a great way to hone your horsemanship skills and enjoy the great outdoors!
You can introduce a young horse or new rider to obstacles in an open safe environment. It is also a benefit in conditioning a horse
after illness/injury in a low impact competition.
