Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Oshkosh, WI?
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, "Wisconsin" 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 Kentucky?
A: Clicking on "Kentucky" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Kentucky. 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:
Yesterday we learned to channel the energy of our horse’s unwanted movements into training and so turned things around to a gained advantage. Doing that, we brought our overall training to a higher level – and caused the horse to start thinking twice before he starts off on his own the moment we put a toe in a stirrup. Today we’re taking yesterday’s material a step farther, devising and deploying a plan to dissuade movement while we’re up in the saddle. To get up to speed, tack up and prepare to ride. As you do, recall that our horse can only move six directions: Back, forward, left, right, up and down. Logically, we can rule out up and down here – and narrow our focus to those remaining choices he might make. Begin with some refresher ground work. Ask your horse to walk a few feet with your learned go-forward cue. Walk him a few feet and ask for a back-up through very light pressure on the rein and your body language, (turn those hips, then bring your left rein toward his left shoulder if need be). Now practice sideways – also through methods we’ve learned: Move the horse sideways and away from you by moving that hip, (by bringing your hand toward his hip or toward the saddle horn) then asking the shoulder to step over. Move the horse sideways and toward you by applying pressure on the lead till his left leg steps closer, then raise your arm above his hip as you’ve learned to bring his hind end nearer (tapping if need be). Voila! You have the tools you need to re-position your horse regardless of where or how he moves. He moves backward, you move him forward; he moves to the left, you tap the hip back to the right. Practice all the directions for a few minutes – but imagine that you’re not “backing him up” but instead correcting a horse that just walked forward. Swing his hips around – but see yourself doing so because he was backing and this is your fix for that sort of thing now. See these movements as tools to correct, not as simple, pointless movements.
