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

Have you seen Pat Parelli, Clinton Anderson or other famous horse trainers back away from their horses (on the ground) - while their horses continue to sidestep toward them? It looks pretty cool, doesn't it? It looks impressive, like something that took years of training and maybe a little black magic. Funny thing is, this trick with such a high "wow" factor is actually one of the easier things to teach. This, as opposed to a smooth flying lead change or a reiner's sliding stop - two examples of "tricks" which take years to perfect. With an amenable, tractable horse, you can teach the "sidepass toward you" in just a few easy sessions. Then, with this new tool in your back pocket, you’ll be able to move the horse back to the mounting block – and to do so repeatedly if necessary. Notice the two words "amenable" (willing) and "tractable" (easily managed). If your horse isn't willing and easily managed on the ground, if his shoulders can't be moved away or he can't be backed up lightly or there exists a real chance that he could run right over the top of you given moderate provocation, then shelve this exercise until you've done more ground work. (Re-visit Day One and/or skip ahead to Day Three.) To look at it another way: If your horse still thinks he's the boss of you, don't even try this. To be blunt, you have no business attempting a more advanced maneuver if your horse is likely to bowl you over when agitated. Ignore this advice, and you'll find yourself with a real handful. (This caveat was learned the hard way.) This exercise involves steps that, if glossed over, improperly taught or taught at the wrong time, can teach your horse to challenge you, rather than peacefully submit. If you're able to walk your horse past a group of beckoning buddies or honking cars or barking dogs without your pulse quickening, you should be ready.
