Find equine professionals near you. For example:
Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Williamsport, PA?
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, "Pennsylvania" 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 Ohio?
A: Clicking on "Ohio" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Ohio. 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 won't move or moves like he's got rocks in his pants: It might be because you're not reprimanding with enough gusto or it might mean you're waiting too long after making your request before backing it up with a reprimand. Always, always, always make your request and then back it up with all sound and fury you can muster two beats later if he should fail to move upon your initial request. Remember, it's 1) Kiss to say "I need something," 2) Walk at the spot that needs to move. 3) Back up your request smartly with a little motivation if you need to. Fall asleep during this process and you’ll not improve; it’s just that simple. From here, you need to capitalize on the improvement you've made by next asking the horse to back away from you: (Put the halter on again.) Ask the hips to swing away as you’ve practiced using the left rein and, when they move, give a slight release in pressure (“That’s what I want”). Then, one half beat before they stop moving, pull that left rein toward the horse’s left shoulder, pivot your own hips slightly and walk toward the horse's shoulders or chest, suggesting "Back up." (Be careful not to stand directly in front of him when there's a chance he could walk over you.) Be sure to make your "back" request before those hips come to a rest for the same reason that it's easier to push a car that's already moving than one that's not. Use inertia and work on your timing: You kiss, he steps the hips over, you walk at his chest/shoulder while putting very light pressure on the lead rope to now say "Back up." (Note that later, when you’re riding, this is exactly what you’d do to build a back-up.)
