Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Peoria, IL?
A: Individual listings indicate whether each horseman is certified by famous trainers such as John Lyons, Richard Shrake and Pat Parelli—or if they're "independent operators." Click on the links in the left column, "Illinois" in this case, for a city-by-city listing of pro horse trainers near you.
Q: How do I locate a good horse trainer in Florida?
A: Clicking on "Florida" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Florida. Make sure you ask for references - and call those prior clients before trying out any trainer. Remember, more often than not, saving a few pennies up front (on a fly-by-night so-called "pro") will cost you in the long run. How much do broken ribs cost these days in terms of hospital bills and lost work?

An excerpt:
Note that the work described here makes for rewarding “anytime” training. If it’s raining or snowing outside – or you just can’t get use of the arena because the big hunter/jumper show’s in town, this material gives you something productive to do in the interim – just press your barn aisle into use. We’ll get started here with this thought: If your horse does something (to you) that he'd never do to his mother, you've got a respect issue. Each of the problems listed above comes from a horse that doesn't see you as boss. More importantly, these horses are owned by folks (that'd be you) who either don't realize they're being chumped or know they're being played and don't know what to do about it. Simply put, ya gotta reset that relationship; ya get back to being the boss. The good news is, regaining respect quite often fixes not just one, but several issues. It’s sort of a training two-for-one. You’d be amazed how often you can put aside transgression A and concentrate instead on transgression B – only to find that both issues are fixed automagically. We might work to instill discipline at feeding time or at the mounting block, for example, only to find that the same horse no longer bullies us while leading or threatens to nip. This is possible because both issues spring from a lack of R-E-S-P-E-C-T. In the round pen, we gain respect by first causing the horse to move, then by controlling his direction and speed. At feeding time we retain and foster this deference by not allowing him to crowd us. When leading we expect a polite partner, thus continuing to cultivate our position as The Big Cheese In Charge. Throughout this relationship we maintain a zero tolerance policy toward rudeness and we do so because we know that it's the little things that add up to the total package.
