Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Tacoma, WA?
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, "Washington" 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 Tennessee?
A: Clicking on "Tennessee" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Tennessee. 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:

At first you'll look for and release on very slight changes. You might get a full step to his left, but more likely it'll be a simple lean. You need to reward and build on these small changes. Note that whether he moved correctly on purpose or by mistake, your response is the same: Relax your grip, pause and pet. Remember, it's your quick release that both rewards the horse and tells him "That's what I'm looking for, right there." It's paramount that you release your pressure quickly and that you relax for several seconds while you pet your horse. This momentary break, this “relaxation” is very important – don’t overlook this. Repeatedly asking, with no mini-breaks turns this into one giant 30-minute exercise (as opposed to the 3-second exercise that it is) and confuses your horse. You'll continue upping your pressure every, say, thirty or forty seconds, till the horse moves his back leg correctly. You're not hitting your horse here or at any time - you're "annoying" him with your taps in the same way that a fly on his lip might. When / if he ignores us, we simply progressively "add more flies" (tap quicker, kiss louder, etc.) until he complies. If a sister can drive her brother nuts simply by staring at him in the back of a car, you can certainly motivate your horse to take a step with a dressage whip in your hand.
