Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Bismarck, ND?
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, "North Dakota" 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 Idaho?
A: Clicking on "Idaho" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Idaho. 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:

A caveat: It's bad (real bad) for your horse to learn to blow past you, between your body and the wall. He's learning to evade your requests, to become more belligerent. It's also hugely aggravating, dangerous and embarrassing for you. Once they've successfully learned this dodge, they'll try it again and again. (And you'll see why I said "Don't stand in front of your horse.") Your job then gets progressively more difficult because it begins to feel like your holding back raging flood waters. Don't get into this predicament in the first place: As you work through this exercise, be constantly aware of how much pressure your horse is putting on your left hand. Stay focused and the very instant you feel the horse increasing the pressure (that is, he pushes toward you with his head/body through the rein), correct him. Catch this behavior early on - and be consistent with a zero tolerance policy. Should he increase that pushy pressure, immediately change your focus from “him moving that back leg” to “him softening his neck” and keep your own pressure steady (the direction "at which you pull" doesn't matter) till his neck softens – then give a slight release of pressure, keep moving, and change your focus back to moving that back leg. (Your semi-release there in the middle rewards the horse for softening. Your steady tapping motivates him to work with you.) If you ever sense that your horse is regressing – or becoming more belligerent – then take a break from the “sidepassing at the wall work” altogether and get that neck soft and obliging. Move away from the wall entirely and repeatedly turn his hips away or back him up a step or two then forward and backward again (as if parallel parking), releasing your pressure any time the neck softens. Keep at this until you feel your horse will stay soft through his neck and body back at the wall. (See Days One and Three for more guidance.)
