Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Lexington, KY?
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, "Kentucky" 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 Illinois?
A: Clicking on "Illinois" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Illinois. Make sure you ask for references - and call those prior clients before trying out any trainer.

How much do broken ribs cost these days in terms of hospital bills and lost work?

An excerpt:

Re-read that last part – and understand that when you first begin, I really do mean for you to release if the horse even leans or “shifts his weight” toward the correct direction. Build on that: A correct thought leads to a lean which leads to a weight change which ultimately leads to a correct full step and steps plural. And you might be asking "How am I supposed to direct my horse forward, yet sideways at the same time?" First, don't fall victim to "over thinking." The answer is simply this: You're walking backwards at 2 mph, your taps are saying "move at 3 mph." If your horse isn't pushing past you (which would be wrong, push him back into position) then he's either stepping to the right (our goal) or you're not applying enough pressure and you’re just walking around in circles. (And again, if he's going up, down, or through the wall, go back and re-read that paragraph about not starting this until your horse is ready to work with you.) You might be wondering why we bother moving backwards at all? Why not just stand still and tap? Because we want to facilitate and encourage movement. We want the horse to be thinking throughout this exercise "I'm supposed to be moving, moving, moving" not "I'm supposed to move something then stop." Plus, with him already moving, it's easier to deflect that existing energy in a certain direction. (In the same way that it's easier to roll a moving car to the left than directly to the left from a standstill.) It also helps release - and therefore regulate - some of the pressure your horse feels (like steam from a kettle).
