Join Linda this Sunday for another special Talk Story session as she continues sorting through a lifetime of photographs, memories, and remarkable experiences. From extraordinary animals and inspiring people to unexpected adventures around the world, Linda will reflect on the moments that have shaped both her life and the evolution of the Tellington TTouch Method.

These informal conversations are always filled with fascinating stories, practical wisdom, humour, and the unique perspective that only comes from decades of working with animals and people across the globe.

Whether you've known Linda's work for years or are discovering it for the first time, this is a wonderful opportunity to spend an hour with one of the true pioneers in animal training, behaviour, and wellbeing.

We hope you'll join us for another memorable hour of stories, laughter, inspiration, and the timeless lessons that continue to influence how we work with animals—and with ourselves.

It’s Tevis Cup weekend, and my heart is full of memories.

To everyone tackling the legendary 100-mile Tevis Cup ride from the Sierra Nevada to Auburn, California this weekend, I’m thinking of you. Wishing every horse and rider a safe journey and a wonderful finish.

This year marks the 70th running of this remarkable ride, and it brings back so many memories of my own years on the trail.

I started the Tevis seven times and was fortunate to finish six.

In 1961, I rode my wonderful Arabian mare, Bint Gulida, to a 6th-place finish. Just six weeks later we competed in the Jim Shoulders 100-Mile Endurance Ride in Oklahoma, where we won both First Place and Best Condition in 13 hours and 36 minutes. Together we became the first horse and rider to complete two 100-mile rides in less than 24 hours of combined riding time. Our record stood for seven years until it was broken by the legendary Pat Fitzgerald.

One of my proudest Tevis memories came in 1963, when I led a group of four junior riders through the ride after just six weeks of training at our Pacific Coast Equestrian Research Farm summer school. The riders were only 12, 15 and 16 years old, and every one of them crossed the finish line. To my knowledge, we remain the only junior group to complete the ride together.

In 1968, I crossed the finish line alongside my dear friend Ernie Sanchez. He rode one of our Anglo-Arabians while I rode one of my all-time favorite horses, the magnificent Hungarian stallion, Brado.

In 1970, we returned again, this time with another wonderful group that included my mentor and dear friend, Countess Margit Bessenyey, whose influence on my life and my horses was immeasurable.

Many years later, one of the greatest honours of my life was returning to Tevis as a member of the Committee in 2015, where I had the pleasure of congratulating Potato Richardson on his third Tevis Cup victory.

These stories, and so many more, are beautifully captured by Shannon Yewell Weil in Strike a Long Trot: Legendary Horsewoman Linda Tellington-Jones.

Shannon first came to my school in 1967 and has remained part of the endurance world ever since. This weekend she is once again at the finish line, announcing riders as they complete their incredible journey.

Thank you, Shannon, for a lifetime of friendship, adventure, and dedication to this extraordinary sport.

Happy Tevis weekend to everyone. There truly is nothing quite like it.

"Hidden Treasures: Memories from Linda's Life with Animals"with Linda Tellington-Jones

Over the past few weeks, as Linda prepares for an upcoming move, she has been opening boxes that haven't seen daylight for years. Inside are photographs, letters, journals, and treasures that tell the story of an extraordinary life dedicated to animals, learning, and human connection.

This Sunday's TTouch Community webinar will be a special "Talk Story" with Linda as she shares some of these remarkable discoveries. Through photographs and personal stories, you'll meet many of the people, animals, and places that shaped the Tellington TTouch Method and inspired Linda's lifelong journey.

From unexpected adventures and unforgettable teachers to extraordinary animals and meaningful moments from around the world, this promises to be a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of a life lived with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to say "yes" to new possibilities.

Whether you've known Linda's work for decades or have only recently discovered TTouch, you'll come away inspired by the experiences that continue to influence her work today.

Join us live this Sunday at 11:00 AM PDT.

As always, registration is free, but required, through our Zoom link below, and if you can't join us live, the replay will be available for all TTouch Community members.

Let's go back to simpler times, like social media in 2012, and do a Flashback Friday!

I have so many gems hidden away in folders under folders, under folders in the Photo file, you never know what will pop up (other than some incredible hair styles over the decades - I'm looking at (Robyn's) perms!)

A long time follower recently shared a great pic of their time at Ranch in 1990 with themself and their wife Patty alongside and Robyn. Then today I stumbled upon a selection of photos of Linda and Robyn through the decades and I thought it would be fun to share this dynamic duo. Without their combination of left brain and right brain, creative and logical, intuitive and innovative thinking - the Tellington TTouch approach certainly wouldn't be what it is today!

Guess whose birthday it is today?
