Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Hartford, CT?
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, "Connecticut" 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 Oklahoma?
A: Clicking on "Oklahoma" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Oklahoma. 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:
As you're no doubt aware, we can't stop a horse that wants to move. It's just not possible and trying to force the issue is a time-waster. In the saddle, no bit is ever big enough or can cause enough pain to "make" a horse stand still. From the ground, no amount of pleading and no amount of smacking or cursing is going to make that horse park out for you if he's not trained to do so and "not of a mood." To combat this, we switch things up on Day Three by saying not "stop," but "go." We'll position ourselves to climb aboard and, should our horse move off, we'll say to it, in effect: "If I can't stop you when I want, then you can't stop when you want.... and we'll just see who's more stubborn." (Hint: It's gotta be you.) We'll then drill on simple ground exercises that serve a dual purpose: 1) They'll improve your leading and ground control, solidifying you as leader in the animal's eyes and 2) They'll make him want to stand still by saying to your horse "If you want to move, then move. But do so precisely as I say for as long as I say." They show the horse that standing still (for you to mount up in this case) is the easiest course of action. This will serve as our quick fix to get you in the saddle. Once you're up there you can begin tackling the deeper cause of your horse's behavior issue.
