Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Salem, OR?
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, "Oregon" 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 Arizona?
A: Clicking on "Arizona" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Arizona. 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:

If he starts moving too fast, slow him down by applying pressure to the lead, asking his hip to move out of the circle, (away from you) by a step or two for one or two beats. (Don't allow him to stop here. If he does, get him going again immediately and try asking the hip to step out again if or when he speeds up. "Fluidity" trumps everything else.) He has to slow through his turns, so turn him more often and see if you can't "convey slow" by literally stepping back and quickly relaxing your posture in that short moment when he's actually changing direction. From here it's a simple thing to gradually "reel out" the horse to whatever distance you prefer. (For today’s purposes, we’ll max out at around 6 feet.) Also as you improve, you’ll want to begin testing the two of you to see the least amount of pressure you can use to get a great turn. See if you can't get the horse to change direction based solely on your body positioning and not a pull on the lunge line. Further develop your control by picking two spots and getting it to stop and turn exactly at those two points. Once you've built this sort of ability, you'll find that the horse has begun to keep an eye on you at all times; he's begun thinking "What's this guy gonna want next?" And that’s a very good thing.
