Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Terre Haute, IN?

Q: How do I locate a good horse trainer in Oklahoma?
A: Clicking on "Oklahoma" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Oklahoma. 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:
Well… that’s the game plan anyway. If, instead, we find ourselves behind the eight ball, if our horse has begun pushing those boundaries, then one thing we can do to put ourselves back in charge is to know and act upon the following: Horse are programmed by nature to understand that "Whoever causes the other to move is the boss." (Re-read that last line, chew on it until it really sinks in.) Watch a herd of any size out in the pasture. At feeding time you'll see that the boss mare can easily move the others away from the trough as she approaches. Granted, she's earned this respect by backing up the threats she makes today with kicks made yesterday - but this underlying dynamic is the point here. From today forward, each and every time she gets the other horse to move without lifting a finger, so to speak, she further cements an understanding of just who's calling the shots. "I don't get out of your way, you get out of mine." You can take a cue from nature by instituting a similar measure. Knowing this, what do you think is happening each time your horse gets you to step back off the mounting block and reposition it? Can you now see that what’s happening is more than annoying, more than a game your horse plays? It’s your horse learning that he’s the one calling the shots. Let’s turn things around before he decides to test you further.
