Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in La Jolla, CA?
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."

Q: How do I locate a good horse trainer in Florida?
A: Clicking on "Florida" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Florida. 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:

As the horse moves out from you at increasing distances, he'll begin by travelling in lopsided circles. But you'll hold that lunge line resolutely and, rather quickly (after he's "hit" the end of that lead line a few times and had to turn back inwards) he'll start traveling in a more even orbit. (When he “runs off,” hits that line and turns back, he’ll probably want to stop – the key here is that you must (MUST) get him going again right away. This part can get irritating and even a little discouraging – but keep him moving and know that he’ll soon learn for himself that this lunging business is actually very easy when he simply follows an even, rounded, orbit.) He'll also tend to drift inwards at the beginning - but with practice he'll again figure out that staying equi-distant from you is actually the easiest path. Keep the horse moving around you for several complete circles (still six feet away). Allow him to settle into this circling for about half a dozen revolutions - then ask him to turn and go the other way. (Too many turns when the horse is first learning only seems to confuse the horse. If he's just learning, allow him to "settle in" and get the idea before you begin work on turning.) If you've been moving to follow his motion with your hand and body, then simply halting your own movement will cause him to "run to the end" of the lead line. Simultaneously, transfer the lunge line (and lunge whip if you’ve been using one) from one hand to the other and, as he swings around, put pressure on his hip (the one now closest to you) asking him to move off in the new direction. ("Put pressure" means staring at it, motioning toward it, smacking it with the whip if you must.)
