June 4th 2010

It’s the end of another varied week and my quest to find existing members of my friend’s family has been slotted in around an interview/training session with a journalist and her dog for a magazine, a photoshoot for Horse and Rider covering six different articles and an interesting day with vet physio’, Barbara Houlding, talking about the overlap between TTouch and physiotherapy. There are so many parallels and overlaps with both techniques focusing on improving movement, balance and proprioception (the sense of the orientation of one’s limbs in space) and it was also fascinating hearing why and how each different body TTouch influences the nervous system of the animal. I am not sure that all our Practitioners truly understand the benefit of the slow ground work exercises, and the importance of helping both dogs and horses to develop core strength, and I think they would enjoy a weekend session with Barbara, so my brain is whizzing away wondering what sort of workshop would be best.

It was great working with Karen Bush (journalist/writer) and the lovely Bob Atkins on the articles for Horse and Rider. We have worked together on and off for the past sixteen years and are all close friends. Karen was saying how much she missed the early days of TTEAM. We all had more time to spend together planning new features instead of doing it all by email and phone. She is right. Whilst it’s fantastic to be so consistently busy doing something that I love and that helps other people and their animals, I do sometimes get the feeling that I need to come up for air and spend more time with my friends than I do.
