Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Akron, OH?
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, "Ohio" 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 Nebraska?
A: Clicking on "Nebraska" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Nebraska. 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:
By definition we have a horse that won't stand near us when we want to get into the saddle, so on Day Two we'll learn a very cool way to ask the horse to position itself correctly near us (or the mounting block) in a section called "Teach a Horse to Sidepass Toward You on the Ground." It'll help put an end to an aggravating situation we've seen (or lived through) many times: You bring your horse to the block, climb the block, hoist your right leg and... the horse moves away. You climb back down, reposition the horse and repeat the process, finally just jumping and hoping for the best. Instead, wouldn't it be cool to have a way to simply ask the horse to move back into position? You don't move, he does. Beyond impressing your barn mates, you can obviously see the usefulness this little trick lends. It's an easy fix and the two of you can pick it up (most likely) in a single session. (Reality Alert: This moves him to the block – but he may still move back away until we progress through Days Three and Four, two lessons designed to teach him to stand still upon request.)
