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

Here are a few things to bear in mind as you practice this material: First, whenever possible, use your body language (maybe coupled with a kiss or cluck) to cause the horse to move as opposed to pulling or yanking on the lead to move the horse. Body language can mean that you might walk toward his hip or simply train your stare at a spot on his rump. It might mean waving your hands, snapping your fingers or jumping up and down. There are tons of things you can try - of varying intensities - so experiment and don't resort to physical force (no yanking, rapping or jerking) unless the horse simply ignores you. (Horses rarely resort to violence and manage to maintain harmony in their herd, yet we humans feel it imperative to swat, smack and spur incessantly.) This is not meant to imply that you should ask and ask and ask. No. Asking – and being ignored – is how we get placed ever-lower on the barn totem pole. In all your training, you ask and if the horse doesn’t do something (right or wrong, it matters not; what’s important is that he tries), if he doesn’t make any sort of move in direct response to your initial cue, then do something immediately to wake him up and show you mean business (throw your coiled lasso, scream, etc). Make it blaringly clear that when you say “Jump” you mean right now. This pattern is critical – ask, then back up our request resolutely - as opposed to starting with an impatient tug because “I just know he ain’t gonna do it.” Know that if we start with a bunch of pressure, that’s as good as your horse will ever get. Ask with ten pounds of pressure – and it will always take that much… and more. We want him to get lighter, not duller.
