Linda Tellington Jones, able to “hear” what horses have to say and establish a deep trusting relationship between them and people, will open the fair CAVALLIaMILANO on the 21st October.

Tellington is a legendary figure in the equine world. Still today, at seventy-three years of age, she has kept the charisma, energy and enthusiasm that she has always had during her fifty years of training horses.

Tellington is recognised at having invented and patented the TTeam for having spread it across the world. It is a method that helps improve the health, behaviour, physical and psychological balance in animals and creates a deep trust between them and human beings. TTeam has contributed to developing a school of thought. Her success in her work with animals is based on her knowledge, extensive experience and sensitiveness.

Linda Tellington Jones has written 16 books which have been translated into 12 languages and has published many videos and articles on horse training. The choice of Linda Tellington as godmother of CAVALLOaMILANO is not a casual choice, but gives us a key interpretation of the event. CAVALLIaMILANO is not dedicated simply to the traditional concept of equitation, but is especially directed at the animals themselves and their well-being.

It is with this aim that TTeam is located within a specific area of CAVALLIaMILANO dedicated to alternative methods of training and managing horses with respect to traditional ideas.

In Milan, during the trade fair, there will actually be a “Horse Whisperers Village” in which it will be possible to directly see the great whisperers, Carolyn Resnick and Linda Tellington Jones.
