Find equine professionals near you. For example:

Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Des Moines, IA?
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, "Iowa" 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 Pennsylvania?
A: Clicking on "Pennsylvania" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Pennsylvania. 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:

If the horse ignores your initial light tap, then tap with that same intensity ten times in ten seconds. If he still ignores you, tap a little harder - again, ten times in ten seconds. Increase your intensity (never going beyond "really annoying") until the horse moves. If a swarm of flies can cause buffalo to stampede, you can certainly get a step or two here with enough patience. Don't haul off and whack the horse as you might get more than you bargained for in the shape of a good swift kick. The very instant you feel him lift a foot to take a step (or even think about taking a step), drop your arms, release your pressure (on the lead rope) and pet him. Be sure to take at least a three second break (but not much more) before asking again. (I always say "Pause just long enough to hear the birds tweet or the wind blow. The forced pacing will help you keep things calm, paced and objective.) It's a simple thing from here to repeat this process (raise arm, kiss, tap till he moves, release pressure, pet) until the horse realizes the pattern and continues to move around you, following your guiding left hand. Remember that business about "Whoever causes the other to move is the boss”? It applies here too - so do your best to move your own body as little as possible. It's hard at first - but grows increasingly easier as your horse catches on.
