Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Houston, TX?
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, "Texas" 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 Pennsylvania?
A: Clicking on "Pennsylvania" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Pennsylvania. 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:

When you can back away from your horse and he'll consistently sidestep toward you at the wall, keeping his hips ninety degrees from the wall, you're ready for the next step. The next step is simply this: Repeat the entire process, still working parallel to the wall, but away from it by five feet. (Don't be tempted to move too far away - you still need that wall to make corrections.) Your training will now seemingly unravel because the wall isn't there to cut off his movement. That's to be expected. When he moves incorrectly, (stepping to his right), simply keep your pressure up, smoothly directing him (that is, his head, through your grip on the rein) back toward the wall, tap-tap-tapping until he steps his hip to the left. Pet him and move back away from the wall, repeating this process until your horse "gets it." From here it's a simple matter to move away from the wall entirely. Move into the center of your arena and once again repeat the teaching process. Your horse may very well regress a bit, (I'd expect it to), but all you have to do is "go back to the wall" (either against it as when you first began, or away by several feet) till things start to click. You may be wondering the obvious: From this point forward, how will my horse know when to move toward me and when to move away? The answer simply lies in the horse reading your body language and the context of the situation. If he’s learned to run to you at the sight of a feed bucket but away at the sight of a lead rope, he’ll certainly learn this simple routine. Now, if your horse tries to skirt away as you try to mount, you have a great way to move him back into position. Simply raise that right hand and kiss. Your horse will dutifully move back into place. (He may move off again – but hey, that’s what Day Three is all about!)
