Body Exploration and TTouch Assessment

Our first ridden session together was followed by work with TTouch—both a Flat-Hand Body Exploration (see p. 104) and an introduction to a full-body TTouch session. Octango resisted lowering his head and would not stand square—he stood slightly strung out with his back dropped and his head up in “flight mode.” I explored his body, going over his head, neck, back, legs, and hindquarters with my flat hand, interested to find his level of trust in me. I also felt for temperature changes, checking for areas that were too hot or, on the contrary, ice cold, possibly indicating poor blood circulation. I checked the texture of his coat, noting where it was dry and damaged, or shiny and sleek. I found two dry spots in the loin area that led me to suggest the fit of his saddle be checked.
