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

You'll need a dressage whip and a saddle on your horse. A saddled horse? Yes, this is ground work, you won't be riding - but you'll see why the saddle in a moment. The saddling isn't 100% necessary - many trainers go without it here - but I've learned a little trick to "motivate" my horse without upping the "danger ante," so to speak. More on this in a bit. Also, put your headstall (with a snaffle bit and reins) on the horse. The bit will give a clearer signal and offer more control than would a plain halter. Horses tend to "run through" halters and allowing him to push past us or through a halter will place his legs incorrectly (on top of our own, for instance), reward him for resisting (when he blows past us, avoiding our request), teach him that we can be ignored, or all of the above. Halters used here simply make for a more challenging situation. So, from the ground and with dressage whip in hand, you'll walk your horse to a good solid wall. Nice flat, high walls, the type you find in a the typical riding arena, are perfect. Not so perfect are rickety fences that can causes issues should your horse pull shenanigans. Note: Do not start "away" from a wall. Sure, this maneuver can still be taught in the middle of an open field - but you might go grey waiting for the correct step, while a wall "makes it happen" rather quickly. As Sun Tzu said in "The Art of War," "Don't pick a fight till you're sure you can win." (I'm paraphrasing, but you get the idea.)
