Linda Tellington-Jones has been a pioneer in the horse world since the 1960s and in the companion animal field since the 1990s. Her competitive career spanned Combined Training, dressage, hunters, jumpers, and both English and Western pleasure. In 1964, she set a record in a 100-mile, one-day endurance ride—a record that stood for seven years.

Internationally recognized for her groundbreaking contributions to equine and companion animal behavior, performance, and communication, Linda’s work has transformed the way animals and people connect. At the heart of her approach is starting and retraining horses without fear, bucking, or trauma—honoring their individuality, curiosity, and capacity for partnership. Today, certified Tellington TTouch® practitioners teach in 37 countries worldwide.

Linda has authored 23 books, translated into 17 languages, covering her innovative work with horses, dogs, cats, wildlife, and humans. Her writings and teachings have inspired veterinary professionals, trainers, and animal lovers alike.

In recognition of her lifelong devotion to developing the Tellington TTouch® Method—a heart-centered approach that fosters peaceful connection between animals and people—Linda received the Sri Chinmoy Torch-Bearer Award, joining the ranks of luminaries such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Olympic legend Carl Lewis.

When not traveling and teaching, Linda and her husband, Roland Kleger, make their home in Jupiter Farms, Florida.  To learn more about her books, videos, webinars, and trainings, visit www.ttouch.com or connect via Facebook at Tellington TTouch World.
