Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Mesa, AZ?
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, "Arizona" 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:
We’ve only just started, so it is far more likely at this point that your horse will speed up and try to move forward, past you, in reaction to your tapping rather than stepping that back left leg to his left. When he tries to push past you, apply pressure on the rein in your left hand to push him back, in effect saying “Thanks, but that’s not what I’m asking for; keep guessing.” (You may need to back off on the intensity of your tapping if you’re getting too much energy here.) Throughout this, keep in mind that the horse is to stay equi-distant away from us; he’s not to come up closer to us or lag behind. We want to channel his energy not forward but through his back legs and to the side. Right about now you're thinking "How the heck does my horse know which direction to move his feet?" It's simple: You are focusing your stare on the body part you’d like him to move and motivating him to “figure something out” with your taps. He has only six directions to choose from until he makes the connection: Up, down, backwards, forwards, left and right. The tapping increases the pressure on your horse, the pressure motivates your horse to keep trying different things till he gets a release. Your stance, rein pressure and corrections block "forward" while the wall blocks his right side. He can move up, down and left. Should he ever choose “up” or “down,” it should go without saying that you’re applying too much pressure or need to back pedal in your ground training as outlined at the beginning of this segment. This leaves “to his left” and, the moment he even leans in the proper direction, we'll drop our pressure on the rein, say "good boy," stop and pet him. With enough trial and error on the part of your horse, he'll move the direction we've chosen repeatedly.
