Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Orlando, FL?

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.

An excerpt:

If you’ve been working diligently, then by now your horse is far less likely to move off. He’s been taught that going off on his own always seems to mean more work. Understand that we’re seeing improvement here for another reason as well: Above and beyond your horse’s reluctance to work harder, he’s also backed off his mischief because every time he’s moved you’ve responded by picking up the rein and asking for something. Picking up the rein applies pressure to his mouth. Well… he’d really rather not have you in his mouth, thank you. So, for this reason as well, he’s begun to realize that it is simply less hassle all around to just stand still. Yesterday we worked on the ground to a point where we could get on our horses – then bounced back off before he could move off. We didn’t practice getting on so much as we practiced getting to that point. We need to take that a step further, naturally, and actually practice mounting and dismounting. However… were we to take a horse that, up until very recently, had proven to be adamantly opposed to the very idea – and then get on and off that horse thirty times in a row – a horse that this morning feels fresh and full of himself… well, we might find ourselves losing ground as he reverts to his old lousy habits. Luckily, we’ve got a sneaky workaround.
