Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Huntsville, AL?
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, "Alabama" 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 Utah?
A: Clicking on "Utah" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Utah. 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:
Tack up your horse; do everything you normally do before a ride to really convince your friend Flicka that you're going to hit the trail. What you'll do instead, however, is to go to work the moment you raise your leg and (s)he begins to move off. Set the stage and wait for the horse to take the bait. Go to mount and when he does take that step away, put him to work immediately using any ground exercise you've learned (ever). The idea is for him to begin associating moving off with having to work - so what the two of you do specifically doesn't really matter - though personally I'd pick something you both already do well so you begin with the deck stacked in your favor. Move to and fro till you see or feel some small improvement from the horse. Maybe he gets softer through the bridle, maybe he steps more fluidly, maybe he steps more accurately. Improving your horse's performance in any aspect focuses his attention more on you, so making anything "one percent better" is always a win-win. Keep the horse moving till you get some small improvement, one that you figure you could get in about five minutes. Thinking this way gives you a concrete period of time so that the two of you don't burn out - and it maximizes time spent.
